Mesotherapy is a form of cosmetic medicine known in Europe for
long time and recently gaining popularity in the United States. Developed by Dr.
Michael Pistor in France in 1950’s involves injections of a combination of vitamins,
minerals, natural supplements and drugs into the middle layer of the skin. This
skin layer acts as a time release dosing system allowing very small amounts of medicine
to be absorbed over extended time period.
Mesotherapy is a very safe and effective alternative to surgical
cosmetic treatments. It does not require hospitalization, general anesthesia
or wound care. Results are visible within weeks. It is also more affordable
What is different and special about mesotherapy services offered by Dr. Simon ?
Mesotherapy services provided by Dr. Simon are combined with a consultation focused
on evaluating and improving general health, finding and implementing additional strategies
that would lead to better success of mesotherapy procedure by building the foundation of “beauty from inside”.
Factors that might play a role in the appearance of skin are numerous, for example:
intracellular hydration status, vitamins sufficiency, proteins building connective tissue,
chronic toxicity problems, lymphatic and venous flow stagnation slowing removal of
metabolic waste from tissues, mineral status, hormonal balance and many other factors.
Cellulite is condition that involves stagnant lymphatic circulation
and accumulation of fat tissue which is resistant to exercise and dieting due to
presence of a specific alpha 2 receptors. Using the correct ingredients in
mesotherapy helps to activate the alpha receptors and induce breakdown of fat. Vasodilating
agents induce better drainage and blood flow further improving metabolism in the
affected body area. Usual number of treatments for cellulite ranges from 6
to 10 sessions, every 10 to 14 days.
Mesotherapy will aid in diminishing the appearance of fine wrinkles
and improve skin texture, bringing the youthful glow on your face. Dehydration,
nutrient deficiencies, and hormone imbalances are some of the causes that induce
the creation of wrinkles. By providing preparations that promote collagen
production, reduce edema and stimulate circulation the effect of rejuvenation can
be achieved. Mesotherapy is not effective for long established or deep wrinkles.
The effect of therapy is supported by healthy and balanced nutrition, supplements
and vitamins. The number of treatments starts from 4 for the mesoglow effect.
For long term conditions at least 15 sessions might be needed, every 10 to 14 days.

diet. It is not intended for treatment of grossly obese patient. Induction
of improved localized fat burning (lipolysis) is achieved by injections of carefully
selected lipolytic medications and substances that improve circulation and lymphatic
About the Treatment
Base solution contains local anesthetic and a mixture of preparations
which promote collagen production or reduce edema, improve lymphatic circulation
or induce lipolysis (fat reduction). Multiple injections are performed on
the skin territory affected by the problem at depth of 3 to 6 millimeters using
very thin needles. Choice of substances used and number of treatments depends
on specific needs and problems of the individual patient.
