Drug
Free Mesotherapy - Melt Fat!
By
Caroline Lusky
As a healer and a teacher I love learning and sharing information.
Some of my favorite words are choice, non-invasive and painless.
Some of the words that give me distress are risk, recovery time
and side effects. With those words in mind, I'd like to share
with you a new technique that meets my criterion while reducing
cellulite and fat in the body.
 Mesotherapy
is a technique that offers a series of multiple injections into
the middle layer of the skin known as the mesoderm that melt fat
and cellulite. These applications put a small amount of medication
directly in the area of concern. The doctor uses a topical anesthetic
to give painless injections and the medication melts inches of
fat and cellulite away while firming the application area. Cellulite
is an accumulation of fat, fluid, and toxins trapped in connective
tissue fibers that anyone can have. Combined with exercise, a
cleansing program, and appropriate nutrition, weight loss and
cellulite reduction can easily be managed.
Mesotherapy is a safe and effective alternative technique where
surgery has been our only choice in the past. This procedure has
many benefits over surgical procedures such as liposuction. Let's
look at surgical procedures first. Liposuction only treats fat.
It does not treat cellulite and in fact often ends up making the
dimples more prominent. Surgery requires hospital admittance,
general anesthesia, downtime for recovery and bandage wrappings.
After effects from surgery can last from one to six months and
can include bruising, swelling, numbness, soreness, burning sensation,
reaction to medications and temporary drainage from incision sites.
Let's not forget the risk of fluid retention, infection, rippling,
baggy skin, and skin color changes. Since liposuction removes
the fat cell weight gain can accumulate in abnormal places. This
can cost from $5,000 to $20,000 or more.
Now, let’s look at Mesotherapy. It is done in the doctor's
office with your appointment taking 45 to 60 minutes. People go
back to work same day. There is no recovery time, no bandages,
no medicine side effects because the dosage is so small. How quickly
you see results depends on each individual person, what condition
you are addressing and the severity of that condition.
How does it work? The doctor creates a customized mesotherapy
'cocktail' based on your medical history, current health
and the condition to be addressed. With the natural aging process
and toxicity overload from our environment our cells need support
to do their job efficiently. The 'cocktail' is made from
vitamins, minerals, and homeopathic medicines. They accomplish
two things. First, the ingredients melt fat and work with the
efficiency of the cells to release and expel fat and fluid. Second,
the 'cocktail' works with the body to improve metabolism,
circulation, detoxification, hormonal balance, stimulate lymph
drainage, cell permeability, and support for specific organs.
Essentially they work with the cause not just the solution. Each
session is evaluated for the body's specific needs. These
visits can cost as much as $500.00 each.
I spoke with Irina Bukshteyn, N.D. for her comments about this
procedure. She states, “Choosing a doctor is always important
but more important is knowing what medicines are used by your
doctor. Medicines used can vary from pharmaceuticals, homeopathic
medicines, natural plant extracts, and vitamins. Always research
your drugs before usage.” The Health & Longevity Center
only uses drug free homeopathic formulas and costs approximately
$350.00 per visit. A good candidate for mesotherapy is an adult
between the ages of 18 and 75, male or female, and in good health.
Patients should not be pregnant, on blood thinners or have cancer.
There may be other health concerns that would prevent recommendation
for this therapy. Discuss all of your medical concerns and conditions
with the doctor.
Mesotherapy has been available to us in the United States since
1998. France has been using it since 1952 when Dr. Michel Pistor
invented it. The International Society of Mesotherapists numbers
over 15,000 practicing physicians in fourteen countries throughout
Europe and South America. Several magazine articles have been
published about this fat reducing technique. Here are some references
for you:
U.S. News and World Report March 10, 2003 – issue
entitled “Pinpoint Fat Relief.” Self Magazine
April, 2003 – issue entitled “The Bottom Line”
Marie Claire Magazine – “Win The War on Cellulite”
You may have seen ABC Eyewitness News – “New
Fat Removal Technique Getting Raves” or ABC News 20/20
with Barbara Walters: “Shot in the Dark?” I'm
sure we will be hearing about the celebrities using Mesotherapy
very soon.
There are many applications for this technique besides weight
loss and cellulite reduction. There is hair regrowth, eczema and
acne, breast toning, face and neck rejuvenation, and wrinkle reduction.
If you would like to learn more you can contact a local source

I wonder if it's best to start at the top and work down or
the other way around.
