Cellulite is one of the few things that any woman would want to avoid. However, like a cruel joke from nature, women are more prone to develop cellulite than men. But in this day and age, nature can take a beating from countless of women scorned by cellulite in their body. As more and more products and procedures are being created to fight off cellulite, these fatty deposits have become so much easier to eliminate.

Mesotherapy is one of the cellulite reduction treatments available today. Mesotherapy is gaining popularity all over the world because it does not require surgery and is relatively safe. Since it is really quite hard to get rid of cellulite the natural way, many women are willing to dole out huge amounts of money just to ensure that their buns and thighs do not have the orange peel appearance brought about by cellulite.

Basically, mesotherapy treatment only requires the injection of a mixture of minerals, vitamins, amino acids and some medications on the surface of the skin. Thus, the only side effect you might encounter is minor bruising. And that’s a lot better than climbing up hills and mountains.

However, since having mesotherapy in clinics and spas are quite expensive, many women who want to get rid of their cellulite but don’t have much money are resorting to do-it-yourself mesotherapy (that’s right, DIY mesotherapy) treatments that can be bought through auction sites and other online stores. However, this practice can be very dangerous in itself and many women are risking their lives by self-administered mesotherapy. Read on if you want to know more about the hidden dangers of using home-mesotherapy kits.

Lack Of Training

Injecting your thighs and buns with the mesotherapy drug may look easy. In reality, however, you need months of training to know where exactly to inject the serum. It is important to note that the human body has lots of nerves, veins, capillaries, muscles and other tissues under the skin. Thus, one mistake might lead to serious repercussions, including muscle damage.

Another danger you might encounter in doing the treatment yourself is by injecting yourself with a syringe full of trapped air bubbles. Only trained professionals know how to safely release trapped bubbles in a syringe.

Unsterilized Equipment And Surroundings

You cannot just perform mesotherapy anywhere. You need a clean environment to ensure that there will be no complications. Furthermore, you also need to ensure that the needles and other equipment to be used are clean and sterile. If you buy kits via online auctions, you can never be sure that the equipment being sold is uncontaminated. AIDS and sepsis are just some of the diseases you can get from performing mesotherapy in unclean surroundings and with unsterilized needles and syringes.

Problems With Mesotherapy Medication

Mesotherapy procedure is expensive because they make use of expensive drugs and equipment. If you buy a cheap mesotherapy kit, you might be buying unsafe, expired or ineffective medication.

There are many unscrupulous people who are just interested in making money. Thus, you need to be careful in buying and using mesotherapy kits that are super cheap. There is a big chance that the dose of required medications included in these kits is not correct. And maybe the drugs and nutrients used are substandard or the medication is expired.

People who used mesotherapy kits with wrong medication have experienced peeling of the skin, muscle aches, extensive bleeding, and rashes. Some even need to undergo hospitalization just to remedy the situation.

If you cannot afford mesotherapy or you do not want to risk your life for some cheap auctioned DIY mesotherapy kits, there are other treatments available that are surely safe. Products like Celluthin can help you with your cellulite. For more information, visit www.celluthin.com.

Chris Chew asked:


Go ask any fitness personal trainer that you want to reduce fat on your tummy or your butt, these fitness instructors will unanimously tell you that there is no such thing as spot reduction.

Well, they are correct in a way because by dieting and exercising, fat will come off from all over your body and not on selected body parts. However, let it be known that there are spot reduction methods and procedures.It is only because these spot reduction procedures are out of the realm of fitness instructor’s scope and thus they are unable to advise appropriately.

Spot reduction can be achieved through medical procedures such as Liposuction and Mesotherapy treatments. So are Mesotherapy and Liposuction weight loss procedures?

The Mesotherapy spot reduction treatment is series of small, pin ***** injections just below the skin to mobilize & melt away body fat. That means weight loss can be targetted at specific body parts such as the tummy, love handles, butt, thighs and flabby arms. Targetted body part fat loss is commonly known as “spot reduction”.

Mesotherapy can also be used for other aesthetic treatments too,like reducing puffy face fat, on the chin and eye bags.Mesotherapy works relatively well on cellulite too. Mesotherapy treatments usually require as many as 5 to 10 visits to the aesthetic doctor depending on how extensive the body part area is being treated and when the desired end result is achieved.

A Mesotherapy treatment involves a combination of medications, such as vitamins, supplements and other medicines injected into the body to mobilize and burn away fat cells naturally.

A Mesotherapy procedure is usually used for weight loss program, cellulite reduction, face and neck lift (Mesolift) and even elimination wrinkles and sagging skin without any down time. A Mesotherpy patient can go back to office to work immediately after each treatment.

Mesotherapy treatment was started by a French doctor in 1950 by the name of Dr. Pistor. Today, there are thousands of aesthetic doctors all over the world practicing Mesotherapy treatment.

Are there any differences between Mesotherapy and Liposuction treatments?

Mesotherapy is not a surgical procedure and therefore anesthesia is not required. In stark contrast, liposuction is a surgical procedure and the use of general anesthetic is required.

Mesotherapy treatment is a simple outpatient treatment without any downtime or recovery time. Whereas, a liposuction procedure requires the patient to stay in the surgical center or hospital for observation after the fat ******* procedure. A liposuction procedure physically ***** out body fats and remove fat cells. A Mesotherapy treatment simply injects chemicals into the body to help remove body fat naturally.

What are the side effects of a Mesotherapy treatment?

The patient can expect some bruising on the area treated but these bruises will subside within a few days. Since there is no downtime, the patient can resume his usual activities right after the Mesotherapy treament. The Mesotherapy spot reduction procedure takes only about 20-30 minutes to complete for each treatment.

Josh Stone asked:


A list of some of the alternative medicine practices you’re likely to encounter in the United States. Some of these are considered border-line acceptable even in the professional medical field, and many understand that this is unfortunate. Mostly these are just scams, quackery, and nonsense, which unfortunately gullible people believe in if they are desperate and grasping at false hope. Keep your eyes peeled for any of these, and be prepared to stamp out the harmful ones.

Hallelujah Diet

“Reverend” George M. Malkmus claims to have eliminated his colon cancer and other serious health problems more than twenty-five years ago by “following biblical principles for a natural diet and healthy lifestyle.” He and his wife Rhonda Jean operate ‘Hallelujah Acres’, where they hold seminars, sell products, and advocate a diet that consists of raw fruits and vegetables.

Malkmus and his followers claim that his methods have helped people with obesity, cancer, arthritis, and more than a hundred other health problems. He is a very eloquent speaker who is capable of inspiring people who trust in what he says. It has been speculated that he is in fact running a cult, with an unknown number of followers at the ‘Hallelujah Acres’ site.

Intra-Cellular Hyperthermia

Nicholas Bachynsky, a medical doctor whose license was revoked in the early 1990s, is largely responsible for the persistence of intracellular hyperthermia as a treatment. In April of 2004, he was imprisoned in a Floria jail to await trial on fraud charges related to sale of phony stock in a business founded on the alleged treatment.

The claim is that it is effective against cancer and Lyme disease by way of the intravenous administration of 2-4- dinitrophenol (DNP), which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned more than sixty years ago.

Herbal Medicine

Americans are now spending billions of dollars per year for herbal capsules and tablets, bulk herbs, and herbal teas. Although the teas are consumed for their flavor, most of these products are probably used for supposed medicinal qualities. Sales by multilevel distributors and pharmacies amount to hundreds of millions more for products that are obviously intended for harmful self-medication.

Herbs are also marketed by naturopaths, acupuncturists, iridologists, chiropractors, and unlicensed herbalists, many of whom prescribe them for the entire gamut of health problems of every description. Many such practitioners are not qualified to make appropriate medical diagnoses or to determine how the products they prescribe compare to proven drugs, and are not licensed to do anything at all, for that matter.

Mesotherapy

Touted as a nonsurgical alternative to liposuction, mesotherapy involves the injecting of medications and plant extracts into the layers of fat and connective tissue under the skin.

The injected ingredients may include agents that are used to open blood vessels, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, enzymes, nutrients, antibiotics, herbal cures, and hormones. Mesotherapy is said to be used in conjunction with dietary modification, hormone replacement therapy, exercise and nutritional supplements. No drug is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in mesotherapy, and none will.

Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique

Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T.), came out during the mid-1970s by chiropractor MiltonTed Morter, Jr., of Rogers, Arkansas. It is claimed to be “a holistic program that coordinates and balances the workings of all the systems of the body.” Morter defines B.E.S.T. as “a nonforceful chiropractic technique for the 21st century that removed interference from the nervous system by the use of the hands.” Morter claims that such interferences occur when subtle pulses in different parts of the body are not synchronized.

Neuralyn

Between April 1997 and June 2000, Beverly and Thomas Vigil of Meridian, Idaho, touted a product called Neuralyn on the Internet and elsewhere as a highly effective treatment for spinal cord injuries and other ailments. The couple claimed that Neuralyn was an all-natural substance made up of B vitamins, amino acids, and extracts of plants from the Yucatan Peninsula region. According to Thomas Vigil, the idea for Neuralyn came from a dream.

In fact, the Vigils teamed up with pharmacist David Taylor and concocted Neuralyn using a number of homeopathic ingredients as well as a couple of topical anesthetics. According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson, more than 100 people, most of them paraplegics or quadriplegics, paid up to $10,000 per person to come to clinics in Idaho, Utah and Colorado for Neuralyn treatment.

These people were told that Neuralyn treatments had been 85% to 95% successful, and that the product would enable spinal cord injury patients to move, stand on their own, or walk again by regrowing new nerve cells. The Vigils are now in custody facing charges.

Optometric Visual Training

This approach is based on an idea that learning can be improved by exercises that stimulate coordination of the eye muscles or improve hand-eye coordination. Its proponents assume that the basic problem that leads to reading disability is some deficit in the muscles of the visual system.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Ophthalmology have spoken out against this approach and cautioned that no eye-muscle defects can produce the learning disabilities associated with dyslexia. Dyslexia is actually a reading disorder characterized by omissions, faulty word substitutions, and impaired comprehension. It isn’t due to mental retardation, lack of schooling, or brain damage.

Thought Field Therapy

Abbreviated as TFT, its founder, psychologist Roger J. Callahan, Ph.D., claims that TFT “provides a code to nature’s healing system and addresses their fundamental causes, balancing the body’s energy system and allowing you to eliminate negative emotions within minutes and promote the body’s own healing ability.”

The Callahan Techniques site also recommends dietary supplementation for the persons who “suffer from multiple environmental sensitivities and even allergies which aggravate psychological problems.” During the TFT sessions, the therapist uses sequences of finger taps on “acupressure points” of the hands, face, and upper body. The patient at the same time does repetitive activities, such as repeats statements, counts, rolls the eyes, or hums a tune while visualizing a distressing situation.

Raj Kumar asked:


There have been an array of cellulite cures and treatments that have been made available in the market. From the basic cellulite creams, to cellulite diets, to cellulite removal through laser surgery, ultrasound, liposuction and many others. The proliferation of all these treatments have given mesotherapy, a long time treatment for cellulite, stiff competition. However, treatment through mesotherapy has been known to be effective, and relatively safe, which is why people continue to seek out this kind of treatment.

What is Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy basically is a series of injections containing a special blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, homeopathic medications, conventional medications and plant compounds. These are placed beneath the skin, in the area where the cellulite is most prominent. In most cases, the treatment should decrease body fat, and improve the appearance of the skin evening out the irregular and unsightly marks of cellulite.

Mesotherapy is used to decrease body fat and removes cellulite by increasing blood circulation in the affected area. This gets rid of the clogged fat and effectively the cellulite as well. Mesotherapy can also help bring back that youthful glow by removing prominent wrinkles, and giving a fresher look to the patient.

How many Sessions are recommended?

The mesotherapy treatments available in the market usually require 10 to 15 sessions depending on how bad the cellulite problem is. These sessions on the average are offered at $500 per injection, so treatment can become a bit expensive. After injections there can be some swelling of the affected spot, and some topical creams are given to reduce pain and swelling.

Ask the Experts

Because of the variety of components possible in each injection, it is highly recommended that you see a doctor who is an expert in the field before undergoing any mesotherapy treatment. This is a procedure which requires expertise, and a properly licensed individual. The complicated choice of what ingredients to put into the injection will be up to the doctor giving you the treatment. Ask exactly what the components of the injections are, and be informed of the possible side-effects or after treatment complications. Make sure you get what you are paying for since mesotherapy treatments do not come cheap. It is advisable to review the credentials of your prospective doctor, and check if indeed they can do the treatment properly and effectively.

Mesotherapy as a treatment for cellulite has been available for a long time, and much advancement have been made in the respective field. It should be noted that there have been no death related issues in mesotherapy treatments for cellulite removal. The treatment is safe and reliable, and can be recommended to those who are willing to pay the price. There may be many other treatments available, but few are as tried and tested as mesotherapy. This is a treatment that works especially if the patient is thorough and chooses the right medical practitioner for the job.
