What is mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy involves microinjections of both conventional and homeopathic medicine. Through the tireless research of pioneers such as Dr. Lionel Bissoon, mesotherapy has become a revolutionary alternative in the field of aesthetic medicine. During mesotherapy sessions, areas of concern are directly targeted through microinjections of homeopathic and conventional medicines, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals.
Solutions are customized for each patient and the condition being treated. These solutions are then placed directly into the middle layer of skin, also known as the mesoderm. Today, Dr. Elber uses mesotherapy at his Edison, New Jersey office to eliminate cellulite and sculpt the body's contours. Dr. Elber can even use mesotherapy to promote weight loss, reduce under eye bags, tighten sagging skin, and rejuvenate the skin of the hands, face, and neck.
Since only small amounts of homeopathic agents are used in mesotherapy, many patients tolerate the treatment very well. This is due to the fact that the mesotherapy medications are delivered directly to the body parts that need to be healed, rather than having to be processed by the digestive system.
As one of the very first doctors in the country to embrace mesotherapy, Dr. Elber possesses more experience, training, and knowledge than most other physicians. Learn more about mesotherapy by contacting Aesthetic Solutions, located in Edison, New Jersey.
Mesotherapy for Cellulite Treatment
Cellulite has long been a concern for women all over the world; most of them believe that there is no effective treatment or cure and therefore think that they just have to learn to live with cellulite. Nothing could be further from the truth. Mesotherapy is a decades-old, safe, effective cellulite treatment available to women in the Edison, New Jersey area at Aesthetic Solutions.
More than 80 percent of women over the age of 30 are affected by cellulite. Signs can start as early as the mid-twenties. For many women, cellulite causes diminished self-esteem and confidence. This can change a woman’s lifestyle, filling it with embarrassment and a fear of intimate situations. Women waste millions of dollars each year on ineffective cellulite treatment options in an effort to cure this problem.
Mesotherapy can drastically reduce or even eliminate cellulite. Depending on the patient, cellulite treatment at our Edison, New Jersey office may be able to eliminate all visible cellulite after only 10 to 15 weekly sessions.
The first step of cellulite treatment is to have the severity of the cellulite assessed so that Dr. Elber can determine the proper mesotherapy solution. There are a multitude of factors that determine how much cellulite each individual will develop, including diet, lifestyle, weight gain, and genetics. Mesotherapy can target and treat three main causes of cellulite: poor circulation, damaged or defective connective tissue, and localized fat cells that have become enlarged.
The mesotherapy formula customized by Dr. Elber will be based on both the amount of the cellulite and its specific location. Once this formula has been finalized, tiny injections of formula will be made at one-inch intervals in the affected area.
All mesotherapy procedures are performed exclusively by Dr. Elber. Mechanical delivery systems, such as the “mesogun,” are not approved for use by the FDA, and are therefore illegal for use on patients in the United States. Patients seeking cellulite treatment are encouraged to contact Aesthetic Solutions.
Mesotherapy for Body Sculpting
Mesotherapy can be used to specifically target different regions of the body, reducing and eliminating undesired fat pockets. Dr. Lee Elber utilizes special formulas to target specific receptors on fat cells. There are two types of receptors, known as alpha-receptors and beta-receptors. When alpha-receptors are stimulated, they produce fat, whereas beta-receptors break down fat when activated.
Above the waist, the ratio of alpha to beta-receptors is 1:1. This is true for both men and women. However, below the waist, women have a ratio of alpha to beta-receptors as high as 8:1. Men retain the 1:1 ratio below the waist, which helps to explain why women have a tougher time losing weight in the buttock, hip, and thigh areas; it is simply the result of a genetic predisposition.
Mesotherapy can spot-target many areas, including the arms, love handles, saddlebags, buttocks, thighs, and abdomen. Based on individual requirements, Dr. Elber will select a formula that will act on the fat in the desired area optimally and break it down.
