Tone up for the Holidays!

I think I changed my mind about what I want for Christmas this year. I might just go for the gold and get mesotherapy!

If you don't know, you will soon as most women are already familiar with this wonderful procedure. Mesotherapy is a non-invasive procedure that is used to reduce cellulite and is offered at Le Beau Visage.

Mesotherapy tightens the skin and reduces stretch marks. This laser cellulite reduction, sometimes referred to as 'lipo dissolve' is a cellulite treatment that targets problem areas with micro-injections of conventional or homeopathic medicines, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Tiny "medicinal bullets" are delivered directly into the mesoderm (middle layer of skin). The content mixture of the injection varies in accordance with each unique case and specific area to be treated.

Restrictions vary, depending on the condition being treated and you should always talk to your Doctor before receiving this treatment. The best part of getting mesotherapy done at Le Beau Visage - is that Dr. Riehs is a full time, on-site physician - and he medically supervises all procedures and services.

For after care, Dr. Riehs will discuss particulars to your case. However, it's best not to take hot showers for at least 6 to 8 hours and he recommends that patients eat a high-protein meal, and avoid caffeine or other stimulants before treatment. (I can do that to look GOOD!!)

Mesotherapy is a relatively painless procedure due to the use of anesthetic creams applied to the area prior to injection, while liposuction often results in some pain after the surgery, as well as during the healing weeks that follow. Sedation is not necessary with Mesotherapy, and the patient can walk out of the office a few moments after the treatment. This procedure is performed on-site by Dr. Riehs - and depending on the area, and desired results - it is recommended to receive injections every two weeks, and 10 treatments are suggested.

Your holiday dreams can now be a reality - with mesotherapy, a safe and effective alternative to liposuction. Be the envy of those New Year's Eve parties when you strut that cute little red dress!
