Mesotherapy is a local delivery technique: instead of applying a product topically or systemically, it is injected in small quantities at multiple points in the subcutaneous tissue of the area to be treated. This allows the active ingredient to work where it is needed, with local diffusion.
In its body application it is used to work on cellulite, laxity and localised fat deposits. The formula is not standard: it is set by the doctor for each patient, according to what predominates in the area after examination at the prior consultation.
It is a treatment with a cumulative effect, so it is always planned within a monitored plan, and it is frequently combined with other body techniques.
Body mesotherapy is one of the body aesthetic medicine treatments at Alta Armonía in El Albir and can be integrated into fat-reducing and anti-cellulite treatments, combined with drainage techniques such as pressotherapy or with reduction technology such as Vanquish. Which combination is appropriate is decided at the first consultation.
1. Assessment and formula. The area is reviewed, we establish what predominates and the doctor defines the formula: the same active is not used for retention as for a fat deposit.
2. Cleansing and marking of the area to be treated.
3. Microinjections. It is injected into the subcutaneous tissue through injections spread across the area, so that the active works where the problem is and not generally.
4. Afterwards. Redness or a small bruise may remain at the entry points for a few days. Guidance on hydration, physical activity and sun is given at the end.
It is a treatment with a cumulative effect: each session provides a stimulus and the result builds over the course of the protocol, which is set at the first consultation.
Body mesotherapy is rarely planned on its own, because there is rarely a single cause. If there is retention as well as fat, it is supported by pressotherapy o manual lymphatic drainage. If what accompanies it is laxity, by Exilis. And if volume is the main problem, by Vanquish.
That combination, with its order and its intervals, is what is set out in the plan of fat-reducing and anti-cellulite treatments.
All of this is carried out at Alta Armonía, a medical aesthetic centre in El Albir, under healthcare supervision.
Local injection takes the active ingredient directly to the tissue, instead of depending on absorption from the surface.
The composition is set by the doctor for each patient after examining the area. The same cocktail is not used for cellulite with a circulatory component as for an area with laxity or localised fat.
Results are cumulative, so the treatment is planned within a plan with reviews to adjust whatever is needed.
The indication, the formula and the injection technique are the responsibility of qualified healthcare staff, after taking a medical history and ruling out contraindications.
The technique is the same — microinjections of actives into the tissue — but the indication and the formula change. The facial version aims to revitalise and hydrate the skin of the face; the body version works on cellulite, laxity and localised fat.
Whatever the doctor establishes for your case. It is decided at the prior consultation, after examining the area and determining what predominates in it.
It depends on the area, the starting point and how each patient responds. The plan is set at the initial assessment and reviewed during the treatment.
It is a well-tolerated treatment. The injections are very superficial and carried out with fine needles. You may feel occasional stinging during application and a small bruise may remain.
It depends on the objective. The composition is decided by the doctor at the assessment according to whether the fatty component, retention or a change in the tissue predominates. There is no single cocktail that serves every case.
The technique is the same — microinjections — but the active and the objective are completely different. facial mesotherapy aims to hydrate and nourish the skin of the face; the body version works on the fatty and circulatory tissue of specific areas of the body.
Redness and a small bruise may remain at the entry points, reabsorbing within a few days. It is worth bearing in mind when choosing your timing if you have an event coming up.
