Liposuction 360

Unlike liposuction which removes large quanities of fat, mesotherapy is a non surgical procedure that primarily addresses cellulite. Mesotherapy is a 50 year old French medical treatment with certain cosmetic uses such as smoothing cellulite, rejuvenating skin and dissolving small pockets of fat.

Liposuction does not remove fat from the areas where cellulite lies, therefore it does not get rid of cellulite. It does not lessen the appearance of cellulite. In fact, if ones’ skin is lax due to age or excessive weight loss, cellulite can be more apparent than before.

Mesotherapy results are very patient specific. Not all people respond the same with those who tend to be active, and healthy responding the best over a course of treatments, however, proponents of mesotherapy say that nothing comes close to the results that mesotherapy gets with cellulite.

Cellulite are fat deposits that tend to form in the deep subcutaneous layers of our skin. It has a lumpy, dimply, appearance that looks somewhat like cottage cheese or orange peel. Cellulite first appears after we go through puberty and it is documented that between 80 and 90% of women will develop cellulite. It is found on our hips, thighs, buttocks and abdomen and is very rarely found on men.

Cellulite can also form when our bodies go through other hormonal changes such as pregnancy, while on birth control pills and also during menopause. A woman’s hormones are usually responsible for the regulation of blood flow, fat, connective tissue and for lymphatic drainage.
One does not have to be overwight to have cellulite. It can also occur in thin women as well. There appears to be a genetic predisposition to having cellulite.

Smart lipo, a popular procedure for fat removal, should not be confused with mesotherapy or lipodissolve.  Mesotherapy has been a succesful non surgical treatment that targets cellulite.  Lipodissolve and mesotherapy involve multiple injections of active ingredients into areas of hard to remove body fat, seemingly melting it away and expelling it from the body. The lipodissolve treatment utilizes a safe soy based compound that, when injected directly into the area being treated, breaks apart the fat molecule dissolving it into a liquid that is naturally eliminated from the body through sweat, urine or feces. The soybean extract named phosphatidylcholine has the same molecular structure as the phosphatidylcholine found in the human body, and its main function is to break down fat and cholesterol.

Mesotherapy and lipodissolve treatments can be targeted for areas of hard and soft fat, including abdominal areas, upper and lower back areas, thighs, arms, knees, and the buttocks. Areas of cellulite on legs and thighs can be successfully treated with the Mesotherapy procedure, as well as excess fat on the neck and face. Most patients turn to mesotherapy or lipodissolve where targeted exercise and a healthy diet have failed to work to remove the stubborn areas of cellulite or fat.

There are many differences between mesotherapy and liposuction. The following are just a few of the differences:

1. Mesotherapy is limited in the amount of fat it can remove and it is not beneficial to areas of significant fat accumulation.  Liposuction is designed to remove large amounts of fat.

2. Mesotherapy results are very patient specific. Not all patients respond the same. Patients  who tend to be active  and healthy seem to respond the best over a course of treatments. Liposuction is more consistent since the fat is mechanically removed. Typically larger quantities of may be removed with liposuction whereas  mesotherapy targets smaller specific areas.  Liposuction, though, poses a significantly greater risk since the patient undergoes either local or general anesthesia.

3. With Mesotherapy, if a patient regains weight, the fat cells that were treated simply get large again and the previously treated area regains it’s normal size. With Liposuction, since the fat cells were removed, other areas of the body can accumulate fat if significant weight is regained. Typically this occurs under the upper arm, the back, and the thighs.

LipoDissolve is a non-surgical fat removal treatment which involves injecting a natural enzyme solution and soy product called phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate, or PCDC. The ingredient PCDC has been used in many medical applications since the 1950s. Lipodissolve involves a series of micro-injections using PCDC in order to permanently dissolve fat in undesired areas. LipoDissolve injections have also been used to improve the appearance of cellulite. It is known to be safe and is an alternative to surgical procedures such as liposuction.  Lipodissolve differs  from mesotherapy in that it involves injections of medicines deeper into the fat. LipoDissolve is primarily used to decrease localized fat deposits.

Mesotherapy is a non surgical medical procedure that involves injecting microscopic amounts of natural ingredients, homeopathic agents, vitamins and pharmaceuticals into the skin. Mesotherapy can be used to eliminate cellulite, promote weight loss, treat aging skin and sagging skin. Mesotherapy is a non surgical procedure used to remove cellulite, reduce fat as compared to liposuction which is a cosmetic surgery that requires anesthesia.

Liposuction does not remove cellulite. In fact, liposuction often causes existing cellulite to appear more prominent. Mesotherapy treats the cellulite directly, reducing fat while promoting smoother skin and in targeted areas. The fat deposits are flushed from the body, and do not reappear in other areas, which often appears after liposuction.
