Mesotherapy has been touted as the latest breakthrough for body sculpting, cellulite reduction and spot fat reduction. Developed in Paris, France, by Dr. Michael Pistor over 50 years ago, mesotherapy works by targeting receptors on the fat cell’s surface which produces lipolysis (fat breakdown). We know that certain supplements, vitamins, and/or medications taken orally can increase the body’s ability to burn fat. Now, through mesotherapy, these medications can be administered to a specific area for spot fat reduction. If necessary, topical anesthesia and/or sedation are available.

Once the patient has met with Dr. Davidson and has decided on the area to be treated, Dr. Davidson will select the formula most specific to treat your appearance concern. This formula is then injected through numerous microinjections into the mesoderm, the layer of tissue between the skin and the muscle, where most fat is stored. There the formula will slowly diffuse into the fat cells stimulating the beta receptors to release fat and at the same time stop fat absorption. Since the needles used are extremely small, the procedure is virtually painless and can actually be performed in as little as 30 minutes, allowing you to be treated and return to your routine with no down time.

Mesotherapy is a safe and excellent alternative to liposuction, at a fraction of the cost. The following areas of the body, which might not respond to diet and exercise, can be treated with mesotherapy:

In addition, men who have a roll of fat around the waist and lower back that won’t disappear in spite of diet and exercise can use mesotherapy to eliminate or help lessen these unsightly bulges.

The results from mesotherapy spot fat reduction are considered permanent as long as the patient adheres to a proper nutrition and exercise regimen and doesn’t gain weight.

Mesotherapy is getting such phenomenal results that it has been the subject of numerous articles and reports. In fact, both CBS’s 48 Hours and ABC’s 20/20 have done feature pieces on mesotherapy.
