Key points
Mesotherapy for cellulite in Geneva
Mesotherapy for cellulite is a non-invasive aesthetic medicine technique that treats cellulite and improves orange-peel skin.
This method is particularly appreciated by patients seeking visible results without surgery and with minimal side effects.

How does
mesotherapy work for cellulite?
Mesotherapy acts on the different components of cellulite:
• Fat reduction: injected ingredients stimulate fat cell breakdown, with cells subsequently eliminated naturally by the body.
• Action on water retention: injected ingredients also address water retention by stimulating lymphatic drainage.
• Improved venous circulation: this technique improves blood microcirculation, helping prevent fluid accumulation and promoting better tissue oxygenation.
• Improved skin quality: by stimulating collagen and elastin production, mesotherapy firms skin, making it visibly softer, more toned and uniform.
Injected substances include:
• Drainage agents: to eliminate water stored around adipocytes (fat cells).
• Vitamins and minerals: to stimulate cellular regeneration and support skin elasticity.
• Enzymes: to help dissolve fibrosis and smooth skin.
Body areas treated with anti-cellulite mesotherapy
Mesotherapy for cellulite can treat several body areas where cellulite is particularly visible. It is especially effective for cellulite located on:
• The thighs and buttocks: these areas are particularly prone to adipose and fibrous cellulite. Mesotherapy effectively improves orange-peel skin.
• The abdomen: mesotherapy also effectively treats cellulite and abdominal fat deposits, particularly after weight loss or postpartum.
• The arms: arms can also develop cellulite or laxity. Mesotherapy firms skin and reduces aesthetic concerns associated with localised fat deposits.
What happens during a session of
Anti-cellulite mesotherapy
The session begins with a consultation in which Dr Romano assesses skin condition and the patient's specific needs.
After disinfection, active substances are injected into superficial skin layers, precisely targeting areas affected by cellulite. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other ingredients are specifically selected for their effectiveness against cellulite.
The procedure causes little pain and requires no anaesthetic. A session generally lasts 20 to 30 minutes and involves no social downtime. Mild redness or tenderness may occur in the treated area afterwards, but these effects disappear quickly.
Mesotherapy is often combined with other aesthetic medicine techniques, particularly cryolipolysis and radiofrequency.

Benefits of mesotherapy
for cellulite
Anti-cellulite mesotherapy offers numerous benefits.
• Visible cellulite reduction: the main benefit is visibly reduced cellulite from the first sessions. By improving blood circulation, this technique helps break down fat deposits responsible for orange-peel skin while improving firmness.
• Skin firming: as well as reducing cellulite, mesotherapy helps tone and firm skin. Injected vitamins and antioxidants improve elasticity and quality for a smoother, tighter appearance.
• Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage: mesotherapy stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, essential for eliminating toxins and excess water. This particularly benefits people with fluid-related cellulite caused by water retention.
• Skin firming: injected substances stimulate collagen and elastin production, essential for maintaining elasticity and firmness. Skin becomes smoother with less visible dimpling.
• Skin hydration and nourishment.
• Natural results: results are gradual and natural. This technique improves the figure.
• Non-invasive technique: unlike surgical procedures such as liposuction, mesotherapy requires neither general anaesthesia nor recovery time. Patients can resume usual activities immediately after sessions.
How long do the
effects of mesotherapy last for
cellulite?

Results are visible from the first sessions, but optimal after a full protocol of 6 to 10 sessions.
How long results last
Duration depends on cellulite type and the patient's ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Results may last 6 months to 1 year. Maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 months are recommended for long-term preservation, depending on cellulite progression. They stabilise results and prevent cellulite recurrence.
Factors affecting how long results last
The durability of mesotherapy effects depends on several factors:
• Lifestyle: a balanced diet and regular exercise are essential.
• Cellulite type: adipose cellulite, for example, may return faster with weight fluctuations.
• Age and skin condition: younger, more elastic skin produces longer-lasting results.
Anti-cellulite mesotherapy in Geneva: how much does a session cost?
A mesotherapy session for cellulite starts from 300 CHF. This reflects the specialised treatment of localised areas and preparation adapted to each cellulite type. Small amounts of active substances are injected directly into subcutaneous tissue, requiring sterile equipment, approved products and a skilled medical procedure.
Cost can vary according to the size of the treated area, injected products and relevant combinations with other techniques. Every protocol is personalised, with a plan established after initial clinical examination to determine the number of sessions.
Mesotherapy is often offered as a course, with closely spaced initial sessions and wider intervals as progress is observed. The price applies per session, without a package.
In Geneva, consulting a doctor for this indication ensures treatment safety and consistent follow-up. The price therefore reflects a tailored medical procedure within a rigorous, supervised approach rather than a simple cosmetic intervention.

Results may last 6 to 12 months, depending on lifestyle and skin maintenance. Regular sessions and a healthy lifestyle prolong effects.
