Mesotherapy treatment

Procedure, cost, risks, and results

Mesotherapy is a rapidly developing medical technique to treat certain illnesses and is also used as a cosmetic procedure in some countries in Europe and Latin America. In the United States, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) – the agency that regulates most medicines and medical procedures – has not yet approved this procedure but many doctors reportedly provide it anyway. It is not an invasive procedure and no anesthesia is needed and that is why many patients are open to taking the risk.  A clinical trial for mesotherapy is underway.

What can you expect from mesotherapy?

What is a typical mesotherapy treatment like?

In most cases, a mesotherapy treatment will involve a series of microinjections. Your physician will determine the material that will be injected; though your approval may be sought. Some of the common substances are vitamins, minerals, homeopathic medicines, herbs, proteins, etc.

To get desirable results, it is almost always necessary to undergo a series of treatments. The type of procedures and your personal situation will determine how many treatments are required. Surgeons say that the number of treatments can vary from as few as 4 to 15 or more.

As is the case for the cost of all other plastic surgery procedures, the total cost to you will depend on the location, the clinic you pick, and the kind of condition you are trying to cure. But to give you a rough estimate, you may have to pay anywhere from $200 to $500 or more per treatment. What that means is that if you have several treatments, the numbers can quickly add up. In other words, it makes perfect sense to explore if you can pick a surgeon in a less expensive location. We really do not think that going overseas for mesotherapy makes a lot of sense since the number of procedures is so many and they are spread over time.

Does mesotherapy produce results?

Many women who have tried it are very satisfied with the treatments for cellulite. Fat deposit removal, thought, does not look as good as liposuction in the pictures. Our research also shows that facial rejuvenation does not compare to traditional plastic surgery since the results of mesotherapy are somewhat less noticeable. 

Should you consider it?

If your research shows that mesotherapy will produce results for you, then find a good doctor who is also trained in the procedure and has experience doing it. You must also insist on knowing where the training was completed and how extensive it was. While a well-trained staff may be slightly more expensive, the extra cost is worth it.
