Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy was developed
in France in the 1950's by the physician Dr Michel Pistor
and consisted initially of injections into the mesoderm with
conventional medication and not with homeopathics or botanicals.
However, mesotherapy has evolved to include use of natural
medicines, biotherapeutic solutions (herbal / plant extracts
and homeopathic, anti-homotoxic, nutritional, vitamin, and
mineral solutions that are injected subcutaneously into the
mesoderm (not into acupoints). Mesotherapy was first used
to treat such conditions as rheumatism, sports injuries, and
for the improvement of blood circulation. It is useful in
helping with chronic pain or to reduce an area plagued with
cellulite. Mesotherapy is common in aesthetic medicine for
the treatment of cosmetic conditions including skin rejuvenation
and improvement, as a treatment for cellulite, wrinkles and
localised fat reduction. In mesotherapy, injections are with
short needles (sometimes attached to a meso-gun). Mesotherapists
never give injections into ligaments or muscles, or into trigger
points, only local injections.
See also, Mesopuncture, that
involves injecting subcutaneously along meridian pathways
and into specific acupuncture points and ashi points.
