So you've worked really hard to lose weight. You've dieted, you've exercised, and you've done your best to avoid food cravings and other temptations. Despite your efforts, those stubborn love handles and double chin refuse to go away. If this sounds like you, it may be time to consider mesotherapy as a treatment.OptiLipo is a revolutionary treatment that melts fat away in specific areas using a chemical that appears in bile acids (found in the human body) and cell membranes. Injections are given every two weeks, with the number of injections varying depending on the amount of fat in the area. OptiLipo works particularly well with cellulite, dissolving and smoothing out the affected area. Due to the body's natural healing response, an additional benefit of mesotherapy is skin tightening."One reason that I'm pleased to offer mesotherapy," says Doctor Simon Ourian™, Medical Director of Epione Beverly Hills, "is that we can use it to treat cellulite directly. Liposuction, on the other hand, does not treat cellulite and often ends up enhancing preexisting cellulite, making the cellulite more prominent. With mesotherapy the result is often a smoother skin surface.""What mesotherapy can do over the course of several sessions," continues Doctor Ourian™, "is block the body's ability to store fat and stimulate its ability to burn it. We can target specific areas of fat and treat that area directly by injecting a blend of medications, vitamins and supplements."The optimal results of cellulite removal by mesotherapy are seen three weeks after the last treatment. Patients can see visible firming and smoothing of the skin, including:
- Improved skin texture
- Improved skin elasticity
- Increased tone and firmness
- Reduced circumference and a more refined figure
It is important to note that mesotherapy, as well as other cosmetic weight loss procedures, such as liposuction, are not recommended substitutes for a healthy diet and weight loss plan. On the contrary, mesotherapy is intended to aid a healthy diet plan and help remove fat pockets that diet and exercise alone may not remedy. An ideal candidate is within 25 pounds of their ideal body weight. Being as fit as possible before undergoing the procedure will maximize the end results.During your treatment, the desired area will be injected and the process will take between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. After treatment, side effects are minimal. In rare cases, small nodules may form in the injection areas. These aren't harmful and should disappear in a matter of weeks. OptiLipo doesn't involve surgery or anesthesia.Although an effective treatment for many, mesotherapy isn't an ideal treatment option for everyone. Diabetics, people on blood thinners, those with hypertension or heart problems, or any debilitating condition, should not undergo this treatment.
