A lot of people have been talking about mesotherapy and the wonders it can do for cellulite. The positive reviews are all encouraging, but one of the biggest catches of this "miracle cellulite treatment" is that it is hard to find specialists who offer the service. Is it possible to find specialists for this treatment in small East Coast states like Connecticut?
Before you go find a specialist on this treatment, however, you will first need to know just what this treatment really is. It is never a good idea to try out any new treatment before making sure it is safe for you. Nothing is worse than spending hundreds to thousands of dollars for a cellulite treatment regimen that does not work -- or worse, even aggravates the condition.
Mesotherapy is a new kind of cellulite treatment that started out in France. It is popular in Europe and South America today, and is slowly making its presence felt in the United States. It first made mainstream popularity among cellulite sufferers in Texas, then spread throughout the country soon after. But what does it do, and how does it get rid of cellulite?
This treatment is one of the invasive types of cellulite treatment, and it involves a needle. A specialist on this treatment makes several quick, light injections of a mixture into cellulite trouble spots around the body, such as the arms, the belly, the thighs, the chin, and the buttocks. The liquid to be injected is made up of vitamins, minerals,amino acids, and certain medications.
The mixture is injected just under the skin where cellulite is prominent. It then attacks fat cells under the skin, causing them to die, rupture, or simply release their fat content harmlessly. What results thereafter is some substantial loss of cellulite. While results may vary between mesotherapy patients, there have been many reports of people losing quite a bit of cellulite, even without having to diet or exercise.
The downside of this treatment is that it is not a guaranteed effective treatment for everyone. Some people benefit for it much more than others, and some mixtures may even cause some side effects. It is important to consult with the specialist regarding what goes into the mixture, just to make sure that it will not aggravate any health condition you might already have.
Another possible side effect of this treatment is some pain, stiffness, or general discomfort immediately after the treatment. This treatment involves a needle, so you will have to deal with lots of pin pricks throughout the session. While it is not so bad, it may be unbearable if you are particularly sensitive to pain in the affected area.
One more thing to consider about this treatment is the cost. A treatment session may set you back up to $350, and you will need at least three sessions. But if no other treatment has worked for you, then this treatment may definitely be worth a try.
