Cellulite develops in the body when fat is deposited immediately below the dermis and contained in fat chambers that can become swollen. As the fat cells grow in size, surrounding tissue becomes compressed and hardened, making blood circulation more difficult and trapping fluids. This causes reduced elasticity of the adipose tissue, producing an undesirable tension between the layers. The resulting depression of connective tissue anchor points creates the appearance of cellulite.
Treatment of Cellulite
Mesotherapy is very successful in cellulite treatments and cellulite reduction. The medicines are injected directly to the areas being treated. Treatments are administered weekly and although variable, results are usually seen after the fourth treatment. After ten treatments, patients see a significant decrease in size, improved skin tone and decreased cellulite.
How does mesotherapy work?
The medications used in mesotherapy melt fat beneath the skin as well as shrink the fat cells. The fat cells are broken down by the body and excreted. In cellulite treatments, the medications destroy the connective tissue bands and melt the trapped fat, creating a smooth, dimple-free appearance and cellulite removal.
Techniques
Using a very tiny needle, the medicine is injected into the fat layer. The injections are painless and may be compared to a light pinch.
