Mesotherapy treats cellulite providing a smoother skin surface and tightening the loose skin at the same time where liposuction often increases the effects of pre-existing cellulite by spreading it to other areas of the body and leaves the skin to be surgically removed at a later date. Mesotherapy also promotes fat reduction in specific areas of the body. The fat deposits are flushed out of the chosen areas of the body and the fat is not gained back in other areas, which often occurs after Liposuction. Mesotherapy being a non-surgical procedure does not require hospital admittance, general anesthesia or downtime.
Below is summarized table of the comparison:
