Mesotherapy has been widely practised to manage chronic pain since it was invented in the 1950s, in France, by Dr Michel Pistor (MD). It involves multiple injections of pharmaceutical and homeopathic medications into the mesoderm, under the skin. Mesotherapy has been recognised as a speciality of medicine, by the French Academy of Medicine, in 1986. As a practising physiotherapist, I first took an interest in Mesotherapy for the treatment of chronic pain, before training in the aesthetic applications of the discipline. In aesthetics treatment, Mesotherapy is very effective to rejuvenate the skin on the face, neck, hands and décolleté, to reduce cellulite and treat alopecia (hair loss) in both men and women. Mesotherapy is a relatively painless non-toxic procedure, with visible effect within days. It involves micro-injections that integrate homeopathic and pharmaceutical medications.
- Skin rejuvenation
Our skin loses its definition, elasticity and youthful appearance over time. Mesotherapy aims to rejuvenate the skin by multiple injections of amino-acids and antioxidants in the middle layer of the skin, or mesoderm. it restores the natural elasticity of the skin by boosting the metabolic production of natural collagen and elastin.
- Mesotherapy for hair loss. Slows down alopecia significantly. Injections are administered directly into the scap using a formulation of vitamins, DHT blockers and minerals to stimulate blood circulation and hair follicles.
- Fat reduction and cellulite. Mesotherapy is also effective to break down cellulite and reduce the dimple orange-peel effect. In December 2014, I first trained, in London, with one of Michel Pistor's disciples, Professor Philippe Petit, as part of a training programme developed by the Society of Mesotheapy of the United Kingdom (SOMUK). I later obtained an internationally recognised university diploma in Mesotherapy.
