 Mesotherapy for Cellulite Removal mesotherapy 

What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a revolutionary new method of body sculpting and reducing the appearance of cellulite. Mesotherapy has been touted as the latest breakthrough for bodysculpting, cellulite reduction and skin rejuvenation.

How does Mesotherapy work?
Dr. Rapaport injects microscopic quantities of pharmaceutical agents, natural plant extracts, homeopathic medicines and vitamins into the layer of fat and connective tissue under the skin.

The injected solutions are formulated to block internal signals of fat uptake, trigger fat release, increase circulation, and burn energy. Dr. Rapaport designs each Mesotherapy treatment based on the particular needs of each individual patient.

What exactly is Cellulite?
It is a skin condition affecting over 90% of most post-pubescent women. Cellulite commonly appears on the hips, buttocks and legs, but is not caused by being overweight, as many believe. Even those with a slim figure often complain about cellulite's external visible symptoms — its lumpy, dimpled appearance.

Fat cells are arranged in chambers surrounded by connective tissue called septae. As water is retained, fat cells held within the perimeters of this area expand and stretch the connective tissue. Eventually this connective tissue contracts and hardens (sclerosis) holding the skin at a non-flexible length, while the surrounding tissue continues to expand with weight, or water gain. This results in areas of the skin being held down while other sections bulge outward, resulting in the lumpy, 'cottage-cheese' appearance.

Mesotherapy benefits include:

Improved blood flow to the area
Dissolving excess fat deposits
Removing fibrotic, hardened connective tissue
Improved lymphatic drainage

Effective treatment of cellulite is considered the "homerun" of the cosmetic world. Nothing, and I mean nothing, even comes close to the results that mesotherapy gets with cellulite.

Does this treatment replace diet and exercise?
No. In fact, it is highly recommended that you add diet and exercise to the routine you follow while undergoing Mesotherapy. In most cases, this improves results.

Does this treatment work on men also?
Definitely, For problem areas such as "love handles" and loose pectoral tissues, results for some have been excellent.
