MESOTHERAPY

What is Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a treatment that stimulates the mesoderm, or middle layer of the skin, which will, in turn, relieve a wide variety of symptoms and ailments. The connective tissue of the body, primarily the collagen, which makes up the bone, ligaments, tendons, and muscle, is derived from the mesoderm. The mesoderm also involves the fat or adipose tissue and connective tissues around organs. It works by controlling pain syndromes, or diseases by microinjections at the point of the pain, lesions, disturbance or disease. Mesotherapy introduces the same medicine through multiple micro-injections at or around the point of trouble, never deeper than subcutaneous or intradermally. Just droplets of homeopathic medication , amino acids and vitamins are painlessly administered.
