The mesotherapy is a method developed by Dr. Michel Pistor in the 1950s, which is today widely used in the field of aesthetic-oriented medicine. This technique consists of injecting cocktails of active substances directly into the dermis, often using a gun.
In the context of cellulite treatment, these injections generally contain vitamins, enzymes, amino acids and draining agents that help stimulate microcirculation and tone the skin.
The anti-cellulite mesotherapy is particularly effective for people with localized cellulite on the thighs, buttocks, abdomen or arms. It is suitable for all types of cellulite, whether adipose, aqueous or fibrous.
The mesotherapy for cellulite is a non-invasive aesthetic-oriented medicine technique that makes it possible to treat cellulite and improve orange-peel skin.
This method is particularly appreciated by patients seeking visible results without surgery and with minimal side effects.
The mesotherapy acts on the different components of cellulite :
• Reduction of fat : the injected actives stimulate the catabolism of fat cells, which are subsequently eliminated naturally by the body.
• Action on water retention : the injected actives also act on water retention by stimulating lymphatic drainage.
• Improvement of venous circulation : this technique improves blood microcirculation, which helps prevent fluid accumulation and promotes better oxygenation of the tissues.
• Improvement of skin quality : by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, the mesotherapy firms the skin, making it visibly softer, more toned and more even.
The injected substances are :
• Draining agents : which allow the elimination of water stored around adipocytes (fat cells).
• Vitamins and minerals : which stimulate cellular regeneration and contribute to the elasticity of the skin.
• Enzymes : which help dissolve fibrosis and make 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 :
• The thighs and the buttocks : these areas are particularly prone to adipose and fibrous cellulite. Mesotherapy is effective for improving orange-peel skin.
• The abdomen : mesotherapy is also effective for treating cellulite and fat deposits in the abdominal area, especially after weight loss or in post-partum.
• The arms : the arms can also show cellulite or skin laxity. Mesotherapy helps to firm the skin and reduce the imperfections linked to localized fat deposits.
The session begins with a consultation where Dr. Romano evaluates the condition of the skin and the patient’s specific needs.
After disinfection, injections of active substances are performed in the superficial layers of the skin, precisely targeting the areas affected by cellulite. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other actives are specifically selected for their effectiveness against cellulite.
The procedure is not very painful, and the application of an anesthetic is not necessary. A mesotherapy session generally lasts between 20 and 30 minutes and does not require any social downtime. At the end of the session, the patient may experience slight redness or feel a bit of sensitivity in the treated area, but these effects disappear quickly.
Mesotherapy is often combined with other aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques, notably with cryolipolysis and radiofrequency.
The anti-cellulite mesotherapy offers many benefits.
• Visible reduction of cellulite : the main advantage of mesotherapy is the visible reduction of cellulite from the first sessions. By improving blood circulation, this technique helps break down the fat deposits responsible for orange-peel skin, while improving skin firmness.
• Skin firming : in addition to reducing cellulite, mesotherapy helps tone and firm the skin. The injected vitamins and antioxidants contribute to improving the elasticity and quality of the skin, for a smoother and tighter appearance.
• Improvement of circulation and lymphatic drainage : mesotherapy stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, which is essential for eliminating toxins and excess water. This is particularly beneficial for people suffering from aqueous cellulite, caused by water retention.
• Skin firming : the injected substances stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, essential for maintaining the elasticity and firmness of the skin. The result is smoother skin, with fewer dimples.
• Hydration and nourishment of the skin.
• Natural results : the results are progressive and natural. This technique allows an improvement of the silhouette.
• Non-invasive technique : unlike surgical procedures such as liposuction, mesotherapy is a non-invasive solution that requires no general anesthesia or recovery period. Patients can resume their usual activities immediately after the sessions.
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 duration of the results depends on the type of cellulite and on the patient’s ability to maintain a good lifestyle. They can last between 6 months and 1 year. To maintain long-term results, it is recommended to carry out maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months, depending on the evolution of the cellulite. These sessions help stabilize the results obtained and prevent the reappearance of cellulite.
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.
The price of a mesotherapy session against cellulite starts from 300 CHF. This amount reflects the specificity of the treatment, which targets localized areas and requires a preparation adapted to each type of cellulite. The technique consists of injecting small quantities of active substances directly into the subcutaneous tissue, which involves sterile equipment, approved products, and a controlled medical procedure.
The cost of a session may vary depending on several parameters : the extent of the treated area, the type of products injected, as well as any combinations with other techniques when relevant. Each protocol is personalized, and a treatment plan is established following an initial clinical examination, allowing the determination of the number of sessions required.
Mesotherapy is often considered as a treatment course, with initial sessions close together, then spaced out according to the observed evolution. The price applies to each session, without any package.
In Geneva, consulting a doctor for this type of indication ensures not only the safety of the treatment, but also the coherence of the follow-up. The price therefore reflects not merely an aesthetic intervention, but a tailor-made medical act, integrated into a rigorous and supervised approach.
The opinions of patients who undergo mesotherapy for cellulite are mostly positive. Most patients notice a significant reduction in cellulite and a firming of the skin after a few sessions. In addition, patients appreciate the non-invasive nature of the technique and the fact that it does not require any social downtime.
