David Goldberg, MD, a board-certified dermatologist atSchweiger Dermatology Groupin NYC is not as convinced about mesotherapys efficacy.
Although this technique remains popular in France, it is now rarely used in the US.
These injections lead to a glow to the skin because they are a fabulous moisturizer, says Dr. Goldberg.
How Long Does Mesotherapy Last?
This will really vary from individual, lifestyle, and skin condition at the starting point of the treatment.
How Much Does Mesotherapy Cost?
Of course, this will depend on your location and where you get the mesotherapy treatment(s).
Infection, irregularities, and lumpiness of the injected skin [can occur].
Generally speaking, it should be a safe and smooth treatment, according to Simone.
However, its super important to know what are the ingredients used in mesotherapy.
What to Expect During a Mesotherapy Treatment
Your treatment will really depend on the doctor.
I always did the skin preparation, and then had the doctor do the injection part, explains Simone.
Then, I would have followed with a calming massage, LED therapy, and all related products.
It is kind of like pouring Drano to degrease the kitchen drain, explains Dr.
The effect is hard to predict and control.
Liposuction, on the other hand, is removing fat surgically, and is more precise and predictable.
Fat-dissolving mesotherapy and liposuction aim for the same results, but have very different actions and timing.
