Mesotherapy Treatments: Mesotuck, and spot weight reduction.

 What is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy is a technique invented in 1952, where medication is injected into the mesoderm layer of the body. The mesoderm layer is the layer of connective tissue and fat under the skin, and the injections are used daily by over 15,000 physicians for a variety of purposes including:

· weight loss
· spot weight reduction
· cellulite reduction, (Dermatomyoliposclerosis or DMLS)
· hair loss
· scar revision
· wrinkle elimination

Mesotherapy is the injection of small amounts of medication and/or vitamins into the middle layer of skin. These medications shrink the fat cells beneath the skin layer, and then dissolve it. The dissolved fat is then broken down via weight loss and excreted from the body. Results are typically seen after the third or fourth treatment. Results vary, and are based on the type of condition, severity, and body type.

Dr. El-Attar uses the latest micro-injection technology for minimal bruising and pain. All medicinal supplements that Dr. El-Attar may prescribe to you are FDA-approved.

How Mesotherapy Works?

The medications that are used melt the fat beneath the skin and shrink the fat cells in the scarpa's facia layer. The fat dissolves and, as occurs when fat is broken down during typical weight loss, is carried through the bloodstream and excreted by kidneys and bowel.

What Causes the Cellulite?

For many women cellulite is one of the causes of many distresses throughout the day. Cellulite is a skin condition affecting 90% of post-pubecent women, even those with a slim figure often complain about cellulite's external visible symptoms including: lumpy, and dimpled appearance. Cellulite is caused by connective tissue bands that hold down the skin, trapping the fat and thereby causing the "dimpling" effect. The medications used in Mesotherapy destroy the connective tissue bands and melt the trapped fat, creating a smooth, dimple-free appearance. Cellulite is commonly seen on the hips, buttocks and legs, and is not caused by being overweight.

Benefits of Mesotherapy

One of the most beneficial results of Mesotherapy over Liposuction is that Liposuction does not treat cellulite, infact it makes cellulite more prominent. Mesotherapy also does spot fat reduction, e.g. "love handles." The fat deposits flush out of specific areas and the body does not gain the weight back in other areas, which often happens after liposuction. Mesotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that does not require hospital admittance, general anesthesia, or downtime.
