Mesotherapy was accidentally discovered by a French doctor- Dr. Michael Pistor in 1952. It is now getting its due recognition as efficacious treatment for many health problems. In 1987 French Academy of Medicine recognized Mesotherapy as inherent part of traditional medicine and since then it has become part of curriculum in general medicine in France. In France approx 15000 doctors use mesotherapy in their daily practice. All around the world it is becoming a trend now and doctors in different field and especially those in sport traumatology and aesthetic medicine are acquiring this technique to help their patients.

Not to have left behind in this scene –Delhi Aesthetic Clinic and Center for Antiaging Medicine took the lead.The doctors working here made several trips to France to bring this technology to India and The Clinic is credited to be the first Clinic to introduce Mesotherapy in India.

The word "Mesotherapy" means treatment that stimulate mesoderm. The definition given by Dr. Pistor is " The practice of injecting little amount of medications, not very often into the mesoderm at right spot" Like in sport medicine –amount injected of NSAID drugs is 60 times less then the traditionally orally ingested medicine over 8 days period. This leads to more efficiency of drug with least side effects. Mesotherapy also gives opportunity to combine two or three active medications in single injection.

How it is Done?

Enzymatic enhancement : collagenase & hyaluronidase.

Fat dissolution : phosphatidylcholine and/or deoxycholate

Many patients develop unevenness, divots, or lumps after undergoing liposuction. These areas can be successfully treated with Mesotherapy. The scar tissue that forms under the skin after liposuction is directly targeted and dissolved. Patients see and feel smoothing of divots and lumps, and the unevenness resolves.

Cellulite Reduction:

The medical term of cellulite is "dermatomyoliposclerosis". Cellulite affects the majority of women over the 20. It is caused by poor circulation, fat herniation weakening of connective tissue, lymphatic congestion, and hormonal imbalance. Cellulite is not a disease of over weight. It appears in the subcutaneous level of skin tissue. Fat cells are arranged in chambers surrounded by connective tissue called sepatae. As water retained, fat cells held within the perimeters of this area expand and stretch the connective tissue. Eventually this connective tissue contracts and hardens (scelerosis) holding the skin at a non-flexible length, while the surrounding tissue continues to expand with weight or water gain. This result in areas of the skin being held down while other sections bulge outward, resulting in lumpy, orange peel appearance. It can be divided into 4 clinical stages:-

-Stage 0:- no visible cellulite, even when skin pricked or compress

-Stage 1:- no visible cellulite when standing or lying down, however present when skin is pricked or compressed.

-Stage 2:- visible cellulite when standing, but not appear when lying down

-Satage3:- visible all time.

Mesotherapy treatment is targeted to correct these problems by improving circulation, strengthening, connective tissues, remove fibro tic & hardening connective tissue, improve lymphatic drainage, and dissolve excess fat.
