Cellulite
is a condition that predominantly affects women. It
is frequently sound in certain areas of the body, such
as the hips, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks. The condition
is caused by poor venous, hormones unbalance and lymphatic
flow, as well as fluid retention in the mesoderm. The
fluid retention in this layer, which is rich in fat
cells and fibrous tissue, gives the skin a "dimpling"
or "peau d'orange" appearance. Frequently,
a combination of cellulite and fat deposit coexists
in individuals. Mesotherapy injected to the affected
area will improve local circulation, dissolving excessive
bulging fat that causes the skin unevenness. It will
also help to eliminate excess retained water. The dissolved
fat gets flushed out of the body through the kidneys.
With Mesotherapy, "dimples" are resolved and
the skin once again gains it smooth appearance. The
treatment usually involves weekly sessions until the
desired effect is achieved, and maintenance treatment
every three months subsequently. Each treatment lasts
15 minutes. Mild bruising of the skin may take place
due to skin pricking, but this will be resolved in a
few days. There is no downtime but some discoloration
can last months if not years.
