Frequently,
a patient would see Dr. Romero to lose weight in certain parts of
the body such as the chin, upper arms, below the bra strap, the love
handles, around the belly and the cellulite on the thighs. Finally,
there is a medical technique called Mesotherapy that can achieve
isolated fat loss. |
| |
WHAT
IS MESOTHERAPY? |
| |
|
Mesotherapy is the
technique of injecting bioactive chemicals into the mesodermal fat
area under the skin. The fat is released from the fat cells and
excreted out of the body. Mesotherapy can be considered as body
sculpting, something like liposuction without surgery.
Mesotherapy was started more than a half century ago in France. It
has just been recently been introduced in the United States.

WHAT DRUGS ARE USED IN MESOTHERAPY? |
| |
|
The chemicals used are
approved for other uses in the body such as aminophylline, a drug
commonly used to treat asthma. Other chemicals used are
phosphatidylcholine, similar to what is found in the gallbladder, to
help in fat digestion. Isoproterenol, multivitamins, and other drugs
may be used depending on the goal of mesotherapy. |

WHO CAN PERFORM MESOTHERAPY? |
| |
|
Physicians who undergo
preceptorial training are best prepared to perform mesotherapy.
Weekend seminars with limited practical teaching are available to
doctors wishing to learn mesotherapy. Dr Romero underwent a hands-on
mini-fellowship under a board-certified mesotherapist. Dr Romero has
helped thousands of patients lose weight over 17 years of mainly
bariatric practice. He is very pleased to add mesotherapy to the
many valuable services he provides. |

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? |
| |
|
Many
mesotherapists charge $500 for a treatment session PER
targeted area. Some charge $25 per injection, up to $1500 per
session. Dr Romero is pleased to offer a very limited price of only
$375 per session for up to 3
treatment areas. These could easily cost $750 somewhere else. A
prepaid package of 5 treatment sessions for $1750 (only $350 per
session, regularly $500 each or 5 for $2500) and 10 treatments for
$3000 (only $300 per session, regularly $500 each or 10 for $5000) are available. A consultation fee $195

HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED? |
| |
|
An average patient will
need 5 to 10 treatments, depending on how many areas need to be
treated and on the the severity of fat accumulation. Treatments are
ideally one week apart to take advantage of the progressive effect
of the chemicals. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT NOT EVERYONE RESPONDS THE
SAME WAY! |

bruising and swelling which could be minimized with preparations

rare, may result from the numbing cream. |

ARE RESULTS OF MESOTHERAPY PERMANENT? |
| |
|
Mesotherapy, being so
new, has unanswered questions. Like many medical principles, it is
gaining popularity among doctors and patients alike because it
works. It is believed that the fat that is lost is excreted out of
the body . Unless the patient accumulates fat again, the fat lost is
gone. Mesotherapy must be followed by high standards of diet and
exercise to maintain the improvements in your body. |
