I think is dissolves fat cells or shrinks them or something. You are suppose to be born with all the fat cells that you will ever have and they dissolve them or make them smaller? They are just good for spot reducing?

Hi,
I just had mesotherapy on Friday - today is Sunday.
I am swollen and bruised, but hopefully it will dissapear and smooth out.
I had liposuction a year ago, and that was great - I'm just doing mesotherapy to smooth out cellulite and lumps left over from lipo.
I will keep you guys updated on the progress.

I have had 6 treatments since Oct 2004. Absolutely nothing has changed (the Doctor took before and after pictures and can't understand why there is no difference either!!)
I was doing cellulite treatment on my legs, as well as fat loss treatments on the saddle bags (back). I am not a very heavy person (135 lbs 5'8") so there should have been at least a slight change in the pictures and measurements. My advice, don't waste your money. (the pain isn't worth it either)

Did you try dermasonic that radar/endermologie thing. It seems to work, but I think endermologie worked better.

No, haven't tried that. I've grown very weary of cellulite procedures after spending 2k on something so new. Does it truly work?

I'm the one who posted on that I had Meso on Friday... It is now Thursday, almost a week later.
I am still very swollen and have black dots all over my thighs from the shots. - I really hope it smooths out, because now it looks worse than ever! -
I will keep you updated.
Before lipo, i didn't have any cellulite. - Now, I am going in circles and cpending money like crazy to look great in a bikini when I didn't look bad to begin with.
The same doctor who performed my lipo did the Mesotherapy, and I'd like to think he knows what he's doing.
Can anyone tell me if they were swollen for this long?
Any good results?????\Angie

I am the one that did Meso and it didn't work. I was only sore for 1 day,however, the bruises did last for about 9 days. There are many ways that doctors mix their "cocktails". Every doctor mixes different. (one may use more of something, another less of a certain ingredient). It is possible that my doctor didn't use the right cocktail for me....thus the reason my soreness didn't last long, and no results. I would be interested in finding out if it really works on somebody else that is using a different doctor. If it does, please give me your doc's # !!!!!
I am in the process of asking for my money back from mine!

New Fat-Burning Laser Treatment To Be Offered

LOS ANGELES -- A new alternative to liposuction is in
the final phase of FDA clinical testing that would
allow expanded access to the procedure.

"It's simple, non-invasive, and can be done during
your lunch hour," according to NBC4 health reporter,
Dr. Bruce Hensel.

Hensel said there are about a dozen of the new
machines currently in existence.

"Beauty knows no pain, goes the saying, but surgery is
where many draw the line," Hensel said. "Now, some
experts say you may not have to go under the knife to
get that perfect figure."

The procedure is called VelaSmooth. One doctor
performing the procedure called it a painless
alternative to conventional liposuction. It requires
no general anesthesia, little down time, and,
according to its makers, no major side effects.

Kate Mesta and Alan Bane both decided it was worth a
try.

"I had the extra rolls where my bra line is, and I
have those slumps on the side that no matter how many
sit ups I did or how much cardio I did, I couldn't get
rid of this one section," Mesta said.

"I've had four back surgeries, and because of the back
surgeries, I can't do a lot of things with my legs, as
far as running or riding a bike or anything
cardiovascular," Bane said. "And because of that, you
know, I've gained a few pounds over the years."

The doctor said VelaSmooth works by using radio waves
and infrared light to recontour the skin surface,
while a vacuum manipulates and smooths out the skin.
The patient is awake and alert during the procedure.

"All it is, is a hand piece that mechanically vibrates
the fat cells, which increases the blood supply," the
doctor explained. "And then, once that's mechanically
manipulated, then it delivers heat in the form of
radio frequency and light into the fat cells. What
happens is, the fat cells are dissolved, and they're
carried away through the circulation and excreted from
the body."

The procedure is done over the course of 10
treatments, each lasting up to an hour. Before and
after photos show the results, which are permanent.

"My waist was over a 37, and now it's a little bit
over a 33," Bane said afterward.

"I really noticed a huge difference in three to four
sessions," Mesta said. "I realized after 10 sessions,
I'm looking at three, maybe four inches."

The doctor called the new procedure "the next big
thing."

"I think it's going to revolutionize body contouring
and cellulite treatments," the doctor said. "It's
probably going to be the next big thing in cosmetic
enhancement."

I feel better about myself. It helped me jump start
and then it got me into going to the gym and eating
healthier, and then I maintain it," Mesta said.

Hensel added that some experts do not believe
VelaSmooth does all its makers claim, and there are no
long-term studies comparing it to other procedures. It
is about to become an approved procedure, and costs
about $5,000 or $6,000. Hensel advised viewers to ask
their doctor if the procedure is right for them.

For more information on this procedure, use an
Internet search engine, and look for VelaSmooth, or
contact Dr. John P. Laura, D.O., in Newport Beach at
(949) 646-0077.

I've made an appointment for Mesotherapy but I'm not reading any good reviews here. As well, I'd appreciate the names of doctors for anyone who has had poor or no results as well as anyone who is happy with the results. One of the postings had 'good results' but seems to be more of an advertisement than anything. Sounds a lot more 'iffy' than the ads make it seem.

I have had 2 meso treaments to my abdomen, oh my gosh, I have had great results! I really did not find that it hurt at all, it just felt like I was being poked, a lot! I got just a couple of tiny bruises. My love handles are melting away! Be sure that you have the right doc and practitioner, the coctail is very important, and there is a pre mix on the market my nurse told me does not work! Do your homework, and find someone who knows what they are doing! Take care! Tiffany

I've had 2 meso treatments to date. The first, I bruised and was sore for over a month. Didn't see any improvement at all. Today, 5 weeks later, I had my second treatment (I bought a package of 2 treatments for $3200). I told my Dr. how disappointed I was with the initial results. She explained that because it is a time released concoction, it will take time to work. I'm extremely sore today, but hoping for better results this second time around.

I had meso last Friday on my thighs and arms, and am extremely unhappy with the way it has made me feel and done to my body. I've been very sore and bruised, but what worries me more is that I am still swollen and it's been almost a week. It feels like I have a hard mass underneath my skin. I'm scared it might not go away. Anyone else with something similar? Did the swelling go away

I had lipodissolve, which is a type of mesotherapy done on my abdomen. I had some pain, swelling, and slight bruising the first few days after the procedure, but now I feel fine. I'm going in for my second treatment in two days. So far I notice a chage in the way my clothes fit, but I am also dieting and exercising, so that may play a part in the effectiveness of it all.

meso for face?

Okay, let me give you the basics on mesotherapy. Alot of doctors are cashing in on this craze. Some get good training, some get bad training and some don't get trained at all. For cellulite removal, it all has to do with the cocktail. It should be at a depth of 4mm or 6mm at the most and about 1/2 inch apart. The dosage is about .1cc each injection. The Lipodissolve is different than mesotherapy. The injections are about .5cc and deeper (12mm or 1/2 inch). There also are less injections. They usually using something called phosphatidycholine or PC. The side effects of meso are nodules, bruising, swelling, and burning that can last up to two weeks depending on how much they put in. Pre-mixed cocktails don't work. Ask the doctor what they use in their cocktails. But most of all do you due dilagence. Research! www.prollenium.com is a good site to get info on the stuff they put into the cocktails. If you ask them the following questions you can get a pretty good idea of the competence of your doc. 1. What is in the cocktail? 2. What does each medication do? 3. Where did you learn how to do mesotherapy? 4. How often do I have to do it? 5. How do you charge - by the syringe or the area? Hope this helps!

I had my 2nd treatment of mesotherapy today(thighs,waist) It hurts during the procedure if the doctor doesn't use a "gun" to inject you. That's what happened during my first treatment. Today, she used the gun and it was painless. I do notice that there is pain afterward in the areas that have been liposuctioned before. Nothing you can't handle. After the first treatment, I noticed that my legs looked smoother and my skin is a lot tighter. The doctor could not even believe it. My waist, which has been liposuctioned before, is a tiny bit firmer, but still no evident improvements. Unfortunatly, I am NOT GETTING ANY MORE MESOTHERAPY. I believe it works, but I am very sensitive to caffeine and other metabolism increasing ingredients, and I feel like I am going to have a heart attack today. I have no idea how I drove home. My side effects incluse nervousness, fast heart beat, nausea, and dizziness. I explained this to the doc and she said that sometimes can happen, so she tweaked the cocktail so it would not occur today-but it did. Anybody out there with similar symptoms?

Meso is a method of injecting substances under your skin. Lipodissolve is one of the substances you can inject through mesotherapy. Other substances or cocktails may be used in mesotherapy, depending on specific needs (skin rejuvenation, cellulite removal, etc.)

I got a package of ten and after my sixth treatment i've lost 12 inches! The cellulite on my stomach is gone and my butt looks a lot better but i still have cellulite on my thighs. Meso.is really working but i think it takes quite a few times.

Hi there. I am a 32 year old male in Scottsdale Arizona. I went in to Rejuvalift for Botox, and asked the Doctor whether I should have liposculpture or Mesotherapy and this is what she told me. She said I should opt. for Mesotherapy which is used for fat POCKETS or small areas that are difficult to get rid of, or do not respond to exercise. I have a small pocket on abdomen, which my father and brother have as well. The doctor told me that if it is genetic "pocketing" of fat mesotherapy would be my best alternative. I also asked the doctor about the bruising. She said that women (because they are "bleeders", and are usually on more medications than men) and ethnic people are more likely to bruise, with ethnic blood the bruising is usually pigmentation and not really a bruise. The doctor then told me about taking A SUPPLEMENT CALLED ARNICA FOR THE BRUISING. you can get this at Whole Foods, Wild Oats or online.. Its a tablet you take (dissolved under the tongue) a few days before you have your treatments and during the treatment phase. For best results you need to do a series, two weeks apart from each other.. At Rejuvalift (in Scottsdale, Az.) they charge 400 per treatment area for Mesotherapy.

I hope this is helpful---Grant

I had lipodisolve(flab jab) on my chin. The first session was moderately pain free, but the swelling was horrendous. I looked like I was wearing a fat suit. The second session was much less drastic. My double chin has all but disappeared. I would recommend this to anyone who has a small patch of fat that is difficult to shift. I am 24 and this is the first time I have been confident with my looks. The injections hurt slightly more than acupuncture and slightly less than an immunization. The bruising was surprisingly minimal and went away three days later. Apparently having soy injections are better than the egg based variety.

I am moving back to Canada and am wondering if anyone knows where I can have this done in the Vancouver area.

PS, sorry I forgot to mention that the treatments were for some fat on my stomach. It is so frustrating as I cannot afford to diet being a size 8-10, but it does affect/limit the clothes you can ware. I guess this fat lodged on my stomach over years of eating what I want, I am not sure.

I was told that I wouldn't notice results untill the third session. I noticed it right away, but my problem area was quite small. Some people respond immediately. If you look at the website www.flabjab.net you'll see and example of a women who responded really well to the treatment. Maybe it's not for everyone?

O.K. everyone here is the real deal !!!!!!!!!
I am founder of The Mesotherapy Center in Atlanta G.A. .
We have performed over one thousand procedures and have been practicing mesotherapy for over two years . We hold two certifications for mesotherapy.

The truth is some people get beeter results than others. As with any medical procedure. To get the best results treatments should be administered every two weeks.The medication can work for up to three weeks . So do not get weekly treatments.
WE have also noticed that our patients that have good elimination ( one to two bowl movements a day) get better results. Simply because the fats are eliminated via the urine ane feces . Drink at least 64 oz of water every day to flush the fats. Take a liquid B-complex to metabolize the fats ( available at any GNC) . Excersize at least three times a week to encourage the metabolism and circulation . Mesotherapy is not a substitute for diet or excersize .
HOWEVER WE HAVE SEEN AMAZING RESULTS SOMTIMES BETTER THAN LIPOSUCTION !
Some people see results after the first treatment some after three. we welcome all calls /please visit uor website to see the kind of results we get in 3 to 5 treatments . www.mesoatlanta.com or call 770-352-0014 ask for Tracy

Hell Bells,
I had Mesotherapy from Dr. Santos in Burnaby BC Canada. He is very nice and has treated a lot of patients. He showed me some impressive before and after pictures at his office. I think his website is mesotherapybc.com. I had my abdomen treated and I lost 4 inches after 4 treatments!!! He is very honest and has an excellent bed side manner. I highly recommend him.

I can't get enough!

I have gotten amazing results with just two treatments ! I went to the mesotherapy center in atlanta . In just two treatments i have lost three inches. I have been working out for the longest and could not get rid of the flab on my lower abdomen. its almost gone now. I paid for a series of five and will probably have a wash board at the end of my treatments. Anyone that lives in the atlanta area should call the mesotherapy center at 770-352-0014. They will show you before and after photos.

I have had TWO SESSIONS OF MESOTHERAPY. I paid for four and am doing the other two at three week increments. I have cellulite on the front and back of my thighs. She used 15 syringes in me and it hurt like HELL the first day because of the medicines working so agressively. My legs were swollen for a week like two inches... but the swelling does go down and after the first treatment there was a little smoothing on the front of my thighs! I was told true results are seen usually after the third treatment. SO I am going to continue to do it. I believe it will work and the RN who is doing the treatments is very confient. My side affects have been burning the first day, swelling for about a week, bruiding and little bumps under my skin that itch as they heal. We shall SEE!

Hello,
I am in Texas and have had 5 mesotherapy sessions done on my abdomen and thighs and I haven't noticed any difference at all :(
I am about 10 lbs overweight and according to most websites that makes me an acceptable candidate for it. I go for my 6th and last treatment tomorrow but I am really disappointed so far. I experience bruising and swelling with each treatment. The swelling usually subsides after 5 days. Has anyone else had results take this long?

I had meso therapy done 3 months ago and I am in living hell. I was told the process was relatively painless - NOT TRUE! It was excruciating! I think my doctor used too much and it felt like I had acid on my skin. I had to stay in the office sitting on ice several hours....Now three months later I have hard pockets on each side of my thighs with discoloration. I did lipo with this doctor a year ago and it went great....I just wanted to do a little touch up on the "saddle bag" area and am remorseful and feel totally disfigured. I looked fine before but wanted to look better for the summer and instead was pretty well bed ridden most of the 3 months feeling intense nausea and fatigue. I have been to many doctors since trying to see what I can do to get rid of this. The hard pockets are the size of a closed fist and the cortisone he used to break it up has given me "dimples in the area." I am depressd about this to say the least. I went to another doctor yesterday who said I needed to take steroids for 7 days and worst case scenario they would have to do surgery to take the "capsulized" area out and then I would have big scars and god only knows what my precious thighs would end up looking like....
I have such regrets about this...Has this happened to anyone? I am doing endermologie once a week as well. I am praying daily that this does away and I can go back to looking the way I did before.

It is now five days since my 1st set of injections of Lipodissolve. (First post: 7/29/05)

Before explaining my results, I want to bring up some expectations/speculations. I was very excited to see what my results would be. Message boards have mentioned that doctors adviced patients to be on a diet and regular exercise. My doctor also advised me to be on a diet and do more cardio. Some patients claimed that the diet and exercise helped more than the therapy. This was a concern. Also, swelling and soreness were issues I was worried about. Doc said there will be swelling and soreness--he was definitely on the money regarding the swelling.

Results:
Day one (Friday): Very, very swollen! Swelled by an inch or more around the flanks. I felt very uncomfortable because my flanks seemed to pertrude from my shirt. I was shocked on how swollen I was. I researched how long it would take to go done.

Day two (Saturday): Still swollen but there has been some reduction of swelling. I still feel uncomfortable with the shape since I was going to the beach.

Day three (Sunday): Still swollen but more reduction in the swelling. I feel more comfortable.

Day four (Monday): A little bit of swelling left. Now I am comfortable with no shirt on.

Day five (Tuesday morning):Swelling is pretty much gone. I will measure before next appointment. Co-workers have noticed that I am smaller now in total size not just flanks.

I earlier brought up my doctor's recommendation for diet and exercise. I would like to talk about that issue. My doctor told me to go on a 2000 calorie diet per day and do more cardiovascular exercising and minimize my weight lifting. I am 5'6 and weigh 200 lbs. I regularly eat 2200-2300 calories a day so there was not too much of a change except I have been looking for foods that are less fattening. I do cardio for 2-4 miles a day, 20 minute heavy and fast weightlifting, and martial arts a few times week. Since the last 5 days, I have only changed my diet and kept my workout program the same. This leads me to the questions: Have I lost size due to the diet? Is lipodissolve really working. The answer to the first is no--I have not really lost size due to the diet because other areas appear not to be affected by the diet. The answer to the second is yes--I have noticed that my flank areas are smaller after the lipodissolve swelling have gone down. My pants and belts are already loose!! Bulges that are apparent when I tighten my belt are much, much less!

Lipodissolve spot reduction is WORKING!! I am looking forward to continue my therapy and general program. I will continue to post my results.

In terms of those who are having problems, I feel that it my be the inexperience of the doctors doing mesotherapy or lipodissolve/liotherapy. Both are very different! I think if your doctor explains EVERYTHING that can happen they are more knowledgable but if one can tell you what you want to hear and yes they can do it--be very weary!

Good Luck to All!

Hello - I just went for my 6th out of 8 session I bought. After the first 2 sessions, I had lost an entire pant size in my abdomin area. I also dropped about 4 or 5 pounds. Sebsequent sessions have not produced any results so the doc changed the "juice" today. I'm not as sore and it certainly is not burning... there usually is a great deal of the burning sensation afterwards so this is a huge plus. After today, I am switching to my waist line for the last two pre-paid sessions. It works but I wish it was as effective each subsequent time like it was on the first two.

Been reading the messages and have had similar reactions to the treatment. Have had 3 meso sessions on both saddlebag areas and lower stomach. Have had some favorable results so far. The 4th treatment was lower on the front & inside of the thighs...too much. I didn't feel very good, had the jitters, fast heart beat and alot of heat from the injections. (I think its from the fat being released into my body). 3rd day after treatment feeling alittle better. I'm going to wait awhile before going back for more.

Does anyone know anything about doctors who perform Mesotherapy in the state of Virginia? It sounds like one's experience is directly realted to who the person gets the treatment from. Please share if you know of a good doctor!

I have had a total of 4 meso treatments so far. I'm having some problems with small lumps just under the skin and itching. Has any one else had any negative reactions to mesotherapy?

I earlier posted a message. I explained what happened day to day on 8/2.

Though it has only has been less than two weeks after my first set of PPC injections, I have noticed something exciting to report.

I just came from a weekend out of town. Diet and exercise were thrown out the window due to time and accessibility. My therapist stressed to maintain my diet and exercise program--straying away from the path may hinder any improvements especially the first few days after injections. So I was worried about this throughout the weekend.

The weird thing is that my belly was a little bigger due to the alcohol and lack of diet and exercise BUT my flanks remained the SAME!! IT REALLY APPEARS THAT WHAT THE REPORTS SAY, "FAT SPOT REDUCTION DOES NOT COME BACK!!

Next appointment is this thursday (8/11). I will measure and report.

Good Luck!

Well, it's been just over 2 weeks since my 5th and last mesotherapy on my abdomen and thighs and time hasn't made any difference. I look exactly the same. Aftet this amount of time I am pretty sure all leftover swelling is down. I will have to say I feel like I threw my money in the toilet. I will do this the old-fashioned way and just stick to the gym

Unfortunately, exercise and diet doesn't get rid of cellulite. This fat is trapped in the connective tissue just under the skin. Mesotherapy breaks up the connective tissue allowing the fat to be dissolved and is excreted slowly into the blood stream. I am 53 and have had 3 meso treatments on my lower stomach and saddlebag areas. So far I have see a difference. I just started working on the front of my thighs where my cellulite is worse. I am hoping for good results but I have been having some problems with a possible allergic reaction. Will know more when I see the Dr. on friday to discuss. I think if you check out what is in the cocktail the Dr. is using and you take it slow, I feel that this therapy is the only way to get rid of cellulite, as liposuction does not address the connective tissue problem. Good Luck.

It is now two weeks later. I have my 2nd appointment for lipodissolve later today.

I took pictures of myself at my first appointment and I took one this morning.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! There has been such a HUGE difference in the before and after pictures. Unfortunately, the pictures are not downloadable.

Though I have been on the 2000 calorie/day diet and do crazy workouts, the areas of injections are the only areas drastically with changes. It appears like an inch and a half has gone--at least--but I have not actually used a tape measure.

I am not ready to get swollen again. I now I have to wait until the following Monday or Tuesday to see the next set of improvements!! I will definitely do other little spots as time and SUCCESS goes on.

Good Luck to All and I will check in again next week!

I had my second appointment yesterday. I showed my therapist my two-week before and after pictures. He reaffirmed to me that it works and I definitely believe him! He also measured me. I lost ONE full inch. I am not into lipodissolve for my weight but for spot reduction.

The second set of injections were much less painful than the last time. I hardly felt a thing. I know I swelled back another inch on my flanks. My flanks look like they did before my first lipodissolve injections. I asked my doctor to test out my abdomen area with a few injections where I had liposuction--that swelled up a lot and is very tender.

Everything is going the same way as the first. I am excited for Tuesday when the swelling will go back done again!

I can only go by what i hear in the press,This is the risk I take.

I just completed 12 sessions of Mesotherapy from Dr. Bilingy in Newport Beach. It did not work at all. It is painful and I did not lose 1 lb and minimal inches, which could be that I was bloated at the time of the month they took my measurements. I highly do not recommend. I diet and exercise daily. I am not overly overweight but was at a plateau. I read the message boards and chose to go ahead. Waste of money. Don't do it. Especially do not use Dr. Bilingy. Office is horribly run and everyone complains. If you choose to go ahead, I also did one session with Dr. Jennings in Newport Beach which was much better. NO RESULTS on either, but much better atmosphere. I am so sorry I wasted my money. If you didn't diet and exercise before and started meso and then started a diet and exercise program, yes it will work, but it is probably the diet and exercise NOT THE MESO that is working.

I have to agree with webgrl. They SAY to diet and exercise while taking meso and I believe that the end results are more from the diet and exercising and NOT from the meso. Perhaps there are some out there whose bodies respond to it but I believe the majority of us are wasting their money on it. Thankfully I only had 5 treatments done before giving up and throwing more money in the toilet.

Hello to everyone again.

I have not posted a message for a month. I do have news to share.

After my first treatment, I lost an inch but no weight. After my second treatment, I honestly admit I was very bad. I did not keep up with my diet and exercise program. I really did not follow it and I ate more than usual. But, when I saw my doctor. I did not again that inch back at all.

At my third treatment, I was determined to get back on track. Looking back, I was not that strict. I exercised each day. I watched what I ate but did go overboard a few times.

Going into my fourth treatment, I felt good but I knew I could have done better. At my fourth treatment, my doctor measured and weighed me. Even though I did not feel too dedicated, I guess I was.

I lost 7 lbs from 202 to 195. I lost 1 inch from 37 to 36 waist. I can even wear 34' pants. The weird thing is that my chest is still the SAME. I have not lost any size anywhere else except for where my injections were!!

It works! The diet and exercise help but they are not everything!!

Trust me dont waist your money! I got four treatments with mesotherapy and still saw no results. I was swollen, had burning, became bruised, and extreamly itchy, and as soon as it got better i was due for my next appointment! I also tried endermology to get rid of my cellulite, but it seemed as though it worsened it. Now I have an appointment for velasmooth in two days. I'm hoping it will work. I'll keep everyone updated. :)

Here again. Again, I can't stress enough how bummed I am that I wasted my money on Meso. I did 12 treatments and after a month or so of completing, I couldn't even tell I had anything done. It is painful, costly and produces minimal results. If you would like something that works, try Isagenix for weightloss and inches loss (not cellulite). That works!! I was at a horrible plateau and learned about this product from another that used it successfully. It is fabulous. If you would like more information let me know. Loriwebster4@yahoo.com

I had this procedure done. I never was told after doing this procedure, I should get in touch with someone doing endermologie. This procedure smooth out my skin and bumps. I found this out myself. After speaking with this lady who had liposuction done, and her doctor recommending endermologie. Endermologie really works. I went to a Endermologie chat room and found some good write-ups about some place in Astoria, Queens called Sara's Endermologie. I've been going to this lady twice a week for 1 month, and have been seeing good results. Her prices are affordable. Should anyone want her tel# 718 777-9581. Good luck

Hi Anonymous, wow. I was eating my lunch and brought this chatroom up. Found your write-up on Sara's Endemologie. I visited her and got the free consultation. I started the treatment twice a week for month also. I see some results. Should anyone be interested she has a website address sarasendermologie.com. I must say, she did not push me to join, she explained what the procedure is and what it can do. Her prices were affordable and reasonable. I also spoke to two ladies waiting for their 35 minutes session, they had liposuction done. Their doctor cannot believe how this procedure endermologie has worked after surgeryon them. The doctor has been recommending his patients to Sara's Endermologie ever since. SO, IF ANYONE IS INIERESTED checkout that website address or call her 718 777-7-9851. Thanks for these informantive CHATROOMS.

i have been doing mesotherapy for over a year (not consistently, no need) and it works amazingly well for me. i think everyone is different and you have to find what works for you. i had fat pockets or saddlebags. since i had 5 treatments on the saddlebags they have never really come back. i also workout and try to watch what i eat but i am on no way fanatical. the theory behind it makes total sense and i go to one of the pioneers so she knows what she is doing unlike the many out there who claim to know.

I've had 3 mesotherapy sessions with Dr. Santos in Bby BC. I'm having cellulite on my thighs and my saddlebags treated. So far, I haven't noticed much of a difference on the cellulite but the fat on my thighs is not nearly as jiggly as it used to be and the skin does feel tighter. Dr Santos informed me it would take approx 10 treatments for me to achieve the results I am wanting. The pain during the treatment isn't so bad but it does hurt to sleep on my sides for a few days after the treatment due to the treatment on my saddlebags. Anyone else been to Dr. Santos and if so, what have your results been?

After wasting my money on 6 treatments of mesotherapy and getting ZERO results, I have since learned it doesn't work well if you have low thyroid or have constipation issues.
Personally, I still believe it to be a waste of money no matter what. Either diet/exercise or just pay the money and get lipo

Just wanted to add to the discussion. I'm a boarded plastic surgeon who has done all forms of liposuction since 1982. I first looked into meso in 1997, found the results to unpredictable with no definitive formulations to follow. Stopped until 2004, after training in LIPODISSOLVE again started meso-lipodissolve treatments. These are my findings after 1 full year of treatments in over 100 patients. These results seem to be international, after speaking with many many injectors. 16% of the treated patients(over 4 sessions) fail to obtain minimal results or improvements. Meso-lipodissolve are time intensive treatments, it takes weeks to months to get acceptable results + the expense. Vs superficial liposculpture is fast quick healing and predictable results. I often add lipodissolve after liposuction to gain effects to residual fat deposits. SO! Meso-lipodissolve is BEST for small areas of fat (like chin,love handles). Larger areas will improve (if you not one of the 16% failure population) in TIME A LONG TIME. Patients need to be aware that if a doc is only offering one treatment regime than they can only be self serving. Some docs like me can offer either meso injections OR liposuction. I try to determine what is best for the patient, in other words get them to a desired result and 'do no harm'. My final advise, see a MESO doc than see a LIPO doc LISTEN< ASK QUESTIONS< TALK TO OTHER PATIENTS "be proactive so you will not be disappointed. Darryl Blinski,MD

I am a male and are thinking about under going this treatment for problems areas on my stomach.

As I exercise regularly and watch my diet I am left wondering if this is the right course of treatment considering that my life style is pretty much ok and there is little more I can do

I think some how I have "plateaued"

Has there been anyone else in this situation?

Hi,
I went to a place in marina del rey for cellulite which uses a medical grade machine that melts the fat and toxins with ultrasound. Then a process called nist which is non invasive subdermal therapy was used to smooth out the fat pockets and to bring all toxins towards the lymph system to be elimated. I felt very good after the treatment, it didn't hurt at all. I am on my 6th treatment and I can see the improvement.

I have had 2 velasmooth treatments and the results are great--no pain, no down time, and the cost was not that bad either. I am sorry that you ladies had to go through all that pain. Please try the velasmooth as I am sure that it will work. My doctor is doing the velasmooth treatments along with wrinklelite so that my skin is being tightened while the velasmooth is reducing the fat. It works ladues---it really does!

I got information about a doctor in Toronto/Canada who is introducing "Mini-Lipo". He claims to remove fat without Liposuction machines and with fine-bore cannulas and hand and then combine this with a "infusion lipolysis", which I think is something similar to Mesotherapy or so... I am confused if I should take this alternative. It's expensive (abdominal+thigh saddlebags around 4000 CAD) and what if I don't get results? Has anyone tried this before? Please help!!!!

Hello:

I'm seriously considering Mesotheropy.

I've also looked into Endermologie, Vella Smooth and Vaser Liposelection. I have stage 3 cellulite on the front, back of my thighs and some cellulite on my butt. I'm always on diets, work out regulary and I'm a personal trainer. I've struggled long a hard with my cellulite and I'm very insecure and self consious about it.

Can anyone suggest the best treatment for cellulite and a good doctor that can perform this in NYC?

Has anyone had positive results on any cellulite treatment. I've scheduled sevearl consultations and i'm very nervouse and not certain on which procedure to go with.

Never believe those before and afetr pictures there usually altered I've seen how its done.

Went for second Vela earlier today. It killed! They had to stop. Went 6 days ago for the first time, it was bad but able to take. Got black and blue. Just couldn't withstand the treatment today and I have an extremely high pain tolerance!!!

It seems to work best on areas of the body that are exercise resistant. Good luck!

My doctor told me about mesotherapy because I was asking about liposuction and he said that lipo could be dangerous. Now, I don't know whether to go ahead with meso treatments because he said that it works differently on everyone. I just want to get my legs smaller. I have been going to the gym since January and have lost 25 pounds but I see my waist getting smaller and my hips but my legs are still chunky. I am 57 years old and don't know whether or not to take a chance or wait till something else comes out like the laser procedure they were talking about.

Hi there. I recently got my first session of Mesotherapy last Friday - boy was it intense. It was a little painful - I didn't realize I was so sensitive. Anyway, I was just wondering how long it took some of you before you saw any change. I have 5 more treatments to go and I know I might not see a "big" change for a while. I was just curious.

Thanks!

Hi there...

I had my second meso treatment last Friday. I am not sure if I notice a difference - I can't tell! I know that it still may be too early to see any changes so I am being patient. I am now taking measurements and I think i've trimmed down a little. I won't worry too much until my 3rd or 4th treatment. I have 6 all together.

What are the seaweed wraps for? And I am not sure I know what "velas" is.

How did your treatment go?

As a repitable company in West Texas, we would like to give the true meaning of Mesotherapy. Meso in Greek means "middle". Mesotherapy is the administration of multiple small doses of medicine/or/homepathic products by microinjections in the middle layer of the skin called the mesoderm. It's for the purpose of treatment and/or correction to a localized area of the body. It does not substitute liposuction. It is simply an alternative way of treating the patient. Depending on the type of treatment chosen, there are an average of 8-10 treatments, but noticeable effects of treatment are usually seen within the first 3-4 treatments. Common side effects: itching, and that's one to several days. Redness/Heat may occur to lasting 24 hours to several days. Bruising may last one day to more than a week. The sites may be sore or tender to touch from one to several days. Localized nodules at the site of the injection may be noticed but will disappear from one to several weeks after treatment. Treatments are permanent unless weight gain takes place. Your BMI (body mass index) is also a factor in your results. Meso is used for fat reduction and cellulite, but each is treated with different formulas. It can be given with a mesogun or manually, but both can cause bruising and pain. We're curious to hear from you so..please reply!

I have had 3 treatments so far and I have not noticed a single difference. I have 3 left. I will be extremely dissapointed if this was all for nothing.

I had lipodissolve methotherapy done last Friday(today is Sunday)

Mine was the phosphatidyl choline injection on my face and upper neck.

My face is still extremely swollen now, it is not getting any better >.<.

The pain only lasted for 5-6 hours and was bearable and I have minimal bruisings.
it is just the swelling that really annoys me.

i shall keep u updated

I had one meso session three weeks ago on my outerthighes andhips. I had terrible bruising and stillhave some pain in one of my legs. the doctor said it is nothing to be concerned about but I am still sore. I did lose an inch off each thigh so I don't want to stop. My dr uses collagen in his cocktail to firm the skin. I am not sure what else is in there but he mixes it, does not use a pre mix.

Has anyone experienced soreness after three weeks? My dr recommends every fur weeks but I am waiting five to see if all the pain is gone. I have never heard of any serious side effects so I am still hopeful. Any thoughts?

After the first time I did it I ws pretty sore. You should try ice or taking Tylenol. It should go away. The next procedures won't be near as bad as the first one was. Also, my Dr gave me Arnica Gel - it is an all-natural remedy to ease pain and brusing. It worls great! If your Dr. does not have it I am sure you can get it at any health-food or herbal place.

i 53kg and have had injections on my thighs,let me tell you that it is very painful experience and have experienced no result. This was done 10wks ago. I have numbness down both sides of my legs which has been suggested its nerve damage from the serverity of the injections. my advise to all would be do more squats, high cardo and just live with whats left over. my thighs no longer feel like my own and are painful to lay on at times. i believe it was a silly move because im vain!

I checked online and found that mesotherapy is different than lipdissolve. Has anyone had the lipodisolve. I am 5'10" and 160LBs and I want to drop to about 130-135. I have olive toned skin so I want to avoid any invasive procedures that can leave scarring. An Advanced Lipodissolve facility is supposed to be opening here this fall and I want to check it out. Anyone got any info?

I do not know anything about lipodissolve. I had 6 treatments of mesotherapy and I have noticed slight changes. This procedure is an ongoing treatment - meaning your body is still feeling the affects of it for up to 6 months after the last treatment. It takes a lot of patience. I too have olive toned skin, and though I did bruise it wasn't too bad and they went away quickly.

I had mesotherapy a year ago and it did NOT work at all. In fact, I ended up gaining weight. I don't think it works at all in my opinion. I spent nearly 6,000 on it and I am very angry that it did not work. I should have had liposuction. I had a five needle injection 8 times in my lower abdomen and flanks. Biggest rip off I've ever seen.

Don't waste your money.

I'd like to inject myself 10cc of phosphatidylchlonine + 10cc of procain + 10cc of deoxycholate.

I need opinion about my serum. I want to inject myself this serum in my double-chin and after in my eye bag.
