The Mesotherapy technique was formulated in 1952 by Dr. M. Pistor in France, and was recognized by the French National Academy of Medicine in 1987. Mesotherapy is the micro-injection of traditional medication, homeopathic medication, and vitamins into the mesoderm, or middle layer of skin, acting as a "medicinal bullet" that is delivered directly to a target in the body. Mesotherapy allows a much smaller dose of the same medicine to be injected directly at the site of the problem, into the skin. It works by stimulating the body to heal itself in those targeted areas. Medication is administered subcutaneously with special disposable micro needles. Micro-drops of the drug are slowly absorbed into the blood flow. MESOTHERAPY HAS BEEN USED FOR: Therapeutic Migraine headaches Arthritis pain Tendonitis Back pain Sport trauma After-delivery distension Bone spurs Muscle pain relief, etc. Mesotherapy is sometimes called rehabilitation therapy. It stimulates patient's body, immune system and patients looks younger. SIDE EFFECTS AND RESTRICTIONS Side effects of the procedure may be a possible reddening, swelling and/or bruising around the area of the injections. These symptoms generally disappear in a matter of hours. Mesotherapy is generally suitable for most people, including children and those with diabetes. There are no age restrictions. General restrictions vary with conditions treated and will be discussed before treatments are administered. You can not wear makeup for four hours after Mesotherapy. You can not vigorously exercise for 48 hours. No hot showers are allowed for 6 to 8 hours after treatments. It is also recommended to eat a meal high in protein prior to treatment.
