A.  Mesotherapy is the localized microinjection of medications placed at the site of the desired change. Pioneered in France by Dr. Michel Pistor over 50 years ago, it was only available in Europe and parts of South America, until introduced in the United States by Dr. Lionel Bissoon in the late 1990's. Until recently, it was offered predominately in a few like as New York, West Palm Beach, Beverly Hills,Paris and Rio. Dr. Mudd's opening of the New You Center in Westerville, Ohio, saves you the trip! Now you can get the same expert mesotherapy treatments in the Midwest that you used to have to leave the country to find!

A.  Mesotherapy is extremely safe. It has an over 50 year track record of safety, and like all healthy fields of medicine, it continues to improve over time. All the medications are either approved by the FDA (although used in an off-label fashion which is not unusual, since physicians effectively use many medications in this manner to treat medical problems) or are homeopathic medications created by reputable compounding pharmacies (by federal law, the FDA is forbidden to regulate homeopathic medications, which include many naturally occurring plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, and other pharmaceuticals).

A.  Liposuction forcefully removes fat by suctioning it from body areas using a large tubelike device called a cannula. It is a surgically invasive procedure that will require significant anesthesia. Large doses of pain medication are generally needed during recuperation. Post-liposuction patients wear special post-operative binding garments for several weeks along and are unable to perform usual activities. Liposuction cannot successfully treat cellulite or more superficial fat. 

A.  Very small amounts of medication, are applied in a series of microinjections directly placed into the areas to be treated. Our mesotherapy programs use a tiny needle about the width of a human hair, to help with comfort while still getting a high level of results. Each mesotherapy treatment is tailored to the individual needs, body type, and metabolism of the client.

A. Mesotherapy for Fat Sculpting and Cellulite begins seeing results in as few as 4-5 sessions depending on body type, metabolism, and a program of good nutrition, and exercise. The total number of treatments is more a function of body type and the area treated. Quite honestly, some pockets of fat are more resistant. You may require 10 or more treatments depending on your goals. Most patients require an average of 8-10 treatments for cellulite. Mesotherapy for Skin Rejuvenation sees results usually within 2-4 sessions depending on the age and the conditon of your skin, with total results unfolding over 3-4 months. 

A.  Mesotherapy for Fat Sculpting and Cellulite usually take 30-60 minutes with mesotherapy fat reduction treatments being given no more often than once weekly until the desired effects are achieved. Most of this time is necessary for the application of the topical anesthetic, and not the actual injections. Mesotherapy for Skin Rejuvenation usually takes about 30 minutes and should have follow-up maintenance every 6 months.

A.  Minimal bruising can occur but this is minimized through the use of microinjection techniques. If it does occur it only lasts a few days. Other possible side effects may include mild swelling, sensation of warmth, or temporary soreness. Some of the enzymes used in cellulite mesotherapy can rarely cause a rash, although the patient is tested for this prior to initiation of treatment.
