More than 90 percent of American women are afflicted by cellulite. This condition has been one of the most difficult to treat and is viewed by most women as a serious threat to their self image and esteem. It knows no boundary of female physique type, afflicting both the slender and the overweight. Cellulite forms when defective connective tissue bands that retract the skin become stretched by enlarged, bulging fat cells. Cellular liquids are retained, lymphatic drainage flows are restricted and the fat cells expand and stretch with the skin eventually taking on a lumpy “cottage cheese” dimpled appearance.

Mesotherapy has been a safe and effective cellulite treatment for many years. This aesthetic specialty employs the technique of multiple micro injections of specialized formulations of pharmaceutical, homeopathic, plant extracts and vitamins into the mesoderm, the layer of adipose fat cells and connective tissue under the skin. These injected formulations cause the fat cells to discharge excess liquids and clears out many of the obstructions to proper lymphatic drainage which results in shrinking fat cells and a smoothing out and tightening up of the skin’s texture.

Prior to any mesotherapy treatments at Vancouver Laser Skin Care Clinic, patients fill out a detailed medical history form and meet with the physician who does the mesotherapy treatments to discuss treatment options and answer questions. Mesotherapy treatments need the patient to adopt a healthier diet and make lifestyle changes to maximize the full potential of the therapy. This treatment is not a weight loss program.
