Mesotherapy is a technique developed by Dr. Michel Pistor in the 1950s, which is now widely used in aesthetic medicine. This method involves injecting cocktails of active substances directly into the dermis using micro-injections.
For cellulite treatment, these injections typically contain vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, and draining agents that help stimulate microcirculation and tone the skin.
Anti-cellulite mesotherapy is particularly effective for individuals with localized cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen, or arms. It is suitable for all types of cellulite, whether adipose, aqueous, or fibrous.
Mesotherapy for cellulite is a non-invasive aesthetic medicine technique that helps reduce cellulite and improve the appearance of dimpled skin.
This method is particularly appreciated by patients seeking visible results without surgery and with minimal side effects.
Mesotherapy acts on the different components of cellulite :
• Reduction of fat : the injected active ingredients stimulate the breakdown of fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.
• Action on water retention : the injected substances also target water retention by stimulating lymphatic drainage.
• Improvement of venous circulation : this technique enhances microcirculation, helping to prevent fluid accumulation and promoting better oxygenation of tissues.
• Improvement of skin texture : by stimulating collagen and elastin production, mesotherapy firms the skin, making it visibly smoother, firmer, and more even.
Substances injected include :
• Draining agents : help eliminate retained water around fat cells.
• Vitamins and minerals : stimulate cell regeneration and contribute to skin elasticity.
• Enzymes : aid in breaking down fibrotic tissue, making the skin smoother.
Mesotherapy for cellulite can be used to treat several areas of the body where cellulite is particularly visible. It is especially effective for localized cellulite on :
• Thighs and buttocks : these areas are prone to adipose and fibrous cellulite. Mesotherapy effectively improves the appearance of orange-peel skin.
• Abdomen : this treatment is also beneficial for targeting cellulite and fat deposits on the abdomen, particularly after weight loss or postpartum.
• Arms : the arms may also develop cellulite or skin laxity. Mesotherapy helps firm the skin and reduce aesthetic concerns related to localized fat deposits.
The session begins with a consultation, during which Dr. Romano evaluates the patient’s skin condition and specific concerns.
After thorough disinfection, micro-injections of active ingredients are administered into the superficial layers of the skin, precisely targeting areas affected by cellulite. The injected solution typically includes a tailored blend of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other active agents specifically chosen for their effectiveness in reducing cellulite.
The procedure is well-tolerated and does not require anesthesia. A typical mesotherapy session lasts between 20 and 30 minutes and involves no social downtime. Mild redness or slight sensitivity may occur in the treated areas immediately after the session, but these effects subside quickly.
For enhanced results, mesotherapy is often combined with other aesthetic treatments, such as cryolipolysis and radiofrequency therapy, to further improve skin firmness and contouring.
Mesotherapy offers multiple advantages in the fight against cellulite :
• Visible cellulite reduction : one of the primary benefits of mesotherapy is the noticeable reduction of cellulite from the first few sessions. By improving blood circulation and stimulating lipolysis, this technique helps break down fat deposits responsible for the "orange peel" effect while enhancing skin firmness.
• Skin tightening and toning : in addition to reducing cellulite, mesotherapy helps firm and tone the skin. The injected vitamins and antioxidants improve skin elasticity and texture, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage : mesotherapy stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, which is essential for eliminating toxins and excess fluids. This is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from water-retention-related cellulite.
• Collagen and elastin production : the injected substances encourage the natural production of collagen and elastin, which are key to maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. The result is visibly smoother, less dimpled skin.
• Deep hydration and skin nourishment : the combination of active ingredients provides essential hydration and revitalization to the skin.
• Natural and progressive results : unlike drastic surgical procedures, mesotherapy offers subtle and gradual improvements for a harmonious and natural silhouette.
• Non-invasive technique : unlike liposuction or other surgical interventions, mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no general anesthesia or recovery time. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.
The results of mesotherapy are visible after the first few sessions, but optimal outcomes are typically achieved after completing a full protocol of 6 to 10 sessions.
The longevity of mesotherapy results depends on the type of cellulite and the patient’s ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle. On average, the effects last between 6 months and 1 year. To prolong results, maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months are recommended, as they help stabilize the achieved improvements and prevent cellulite from reappearing.
Several factors determine how long mesotherapy effects last :
• Lifestyle habits : a balanced diet and regular physical activity play a crucial role.
• Type of cellulite : adipose cellulite, for example, may return faster if there are fluctuations in weight.
• Age and skin condition : younger, more elastic skin retains results for a longer period.

Patient feedback on mesotherapy for cellulite is overwhelmingly positive. Most individuals notice a significant reduction in cellulite and firmer, smoother skin after just a few sessions.

Oui, la mésothérapie est efficace pour réduire l’aspect de la cellulite en améliorant la circulation sanguine, en favorisant le drainage des toxines.
La mésothérapie est particulièrement efficace contre la cellulite aqueuse (due à la rétention d’eau) et la cellulite adipeuse (liée à l’accumulation de graisses). Elle peut également améliorer la cellulite fibreuse, bien que cette dernière nécessite plus de séances.
Oui, la mésothérapie peut être combinée avec des traitements comme le drainage lymphatique, la cryolipolyse ou la radiofréquence pour maximiser les résultats. Ces associations favorisent l’élimination de la rétention d’eau et améliorent la fermeté de la peau.
Les résultats peuvent durer entre 6 et 12 mois, selon le mode de vie et l’entretien de la peau. Des séances régulières et une bonne hygiène de vie prolongent les effets du traitement.
Oui, la mésothérapie est adaptée à tous les types de peau. Cependant, un diagnostic personnalisé est recommandé pour adapter le protocole aux besoins spécifiques de chaque patient.
