First described in FRANCE by Docteur Michel Pistor in 1958, Mesotherapy is a treatment method devised for controlling pain syndromes, or diseases by micro-injections at the point of the human body where pain is felt, or the disease is present. This avoids oral medications which first has to go into the stomach and back through the bloodstream to the point of the pain, lesion, 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 medication, painlessly administrated. To achieve these multiple micro-injections we use an electronic injector, which can be programmed to make one single injection or multiple micro-injections.

1 - How was this name selected ?
Because "MESO" in Greek means "Middle" and Mesotherapy is always the stimulation of the mesodermal tissue. In the embryonic development you have three tissues: ectodermal, mesodermal and endodermal. In the development of the embryo all the human organism is 90% of mesodermal tissue.

2- Why would a small amount of medication, applied at the point of trouble, have better effect than the standard kind of injection ?
When you give oral medication or intramuscular injections, you know the total amount you have given, but you don't know how much of this medication is delivered to the site where action is necessary.
It is very difficult to know if the diseased tissue has received the amount of medication required to have the desired action.
It is more logical to put a very small quantity of medicine at the site of the disease, and/or near the diseased part.

3 - Why is the high speed of injection an advantage ?
Because the injection is so quick that pain has not enough time to reach the cortex where it is recorded. There is little possibility of a pain reaction when you give a high speed injection. That is the reason for performing Mesotherapy with the automatic repetitive machine.

4 - Will small amount of medication reach the bloodtream of the body ?
The micro-circulation is located in the connective tissue. The connective tissue has venous and arterial blood vessels: the vasa vasorum. The vasa vasorum will conduct the medication as far as necessary to circulate in the human body.

5 - Is the amount of medication you inject always the same, and what is this amount ?
The amount of medication we use is between 2/100 cc and 3/100 cc, depending on the disease and anatomy. When we use Mesotherapy for finger-pain or arthritis we use about 5 minims around the finger. A larger area, like lumbago-pain, up to hundred drops. But this is still very little in volume.

6 - What are the most common conditions treated ?
- Pain issue from backache, rheumatism.
- Migraine headache, neuralgia.
- Stress.
- Blood circulation disorders(heavy legs, veins).
- Asthma and chronic bronchitis.
- Repetitive sinusitis and rhinitis.
- Sports medicine (sprain, tendinitis, contractures).
- Pain troubles after surgery .
- Aesthetic medicine (wrinkles, alopecia, cellulitis..).

7 - May be treated with Mesotherapy ?

Children - adults - diabetics - the allergic ones - pregnant women - old people - patients suffering from ulcers or gastrite - patients under anticoagulants.
