How to lose cellulite through mesotherapy

•  Background

Cellulite is the appearance of an unattractive, irregular, lumpy skin surface especially seen over the areas around thighs, buttocks and other body areas where large areas of fat are found in close proximity to the skin, thus giving the skin its ruffled appearance. Women are more affected by cellulite formation than men, mainly due to regular hormonal changes.

Before we get to how mesotherapy works to reduce cellulite, lets determine the causes and any natural treatment options there might be for cellulite reduction.

•  Causes

The condition usually involves the damage to capillary and lymphatic channels under the skin, and in turn flow of blood and lymph in those areas gets hindered. The target is to improve the vascular and lymphatic flow to break down fat nodules and reduce loose cellulite.

There are numerous causes of cellulite formation, including:

1. Poor circulation
2. Defective connective tissue
3. Enlarged fat cells
4. Poor diet and nutrition habits
5. Age especially among women

•  Self-help skin care

• Avoid using hot water for bath. Instead use a cool or lukewarm water.
• Use Neutrogena oil to moisturize your skin
• Avoid environmental abuses such as stress, pollution, sunlight, the food we eat, etc. While medical treatments are designed to reduce its appearance, keeping your body tight is key to controlling its development before it gets out of hand. .

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is an only non-invasive treatment option available today for reduction in loose cellulite, and thus giving the body its desired shape and contour.

It is commonly practiced across various regions especially South America, USA, and Europe.

•  Side effects of mesotherapy: N o known serious risks of mesotherapy have been reported. Introducing medications directly into the fatty tissues help reducing the side-effects.

Commonly found mesotherapy side effects are:

• Intolerance to medication is not common as the dosage given is usually in micro therapeutic form.
• Burning sensation that commonly does not last long.
• Minor swelling of the skin, generally mild and self-limiting.
• Minor skin discoloration, mild and self-limiting.

•  Cost: Cost of mesotherapy generally depends on the nature of condition, number of sessions required to achieve desired results, extent of area to be treated and amount of reduction required, and the geographical location. M esotherapy treatment usually requires a series of anywhere between 3 to 12 treatment sessions, usually administered at 2-week intervals.
