Mesotherapy is a type of treatment using injections of fluids that are tailored to stimulate the mesoderm and for a variety of purposes. Mesoderm is the subcutaneous layer that contains fat and connective tissue.

The mesotherapy technique was pioneered by Michel Pistor, a doctor who came from France. Initially, he developed this technique for the treatment of tinnitus or ringing in the ears and to treat pain. Today, mesotherapy is used in a variety of procedures, from treating ailments to beautify physical appearance. The mesotherapy technique uses small amounts of pharmaceutical drugs, vitamins, homeopathic substances, and natural essences, which can relieve pain, treat muscular and vascular conditions, eliminate cellulite, aging skin, and lose weight. The main ingredient of mesotherapy fluid is phosphatidylcholine, an organic compound commonly found in soy products. It also contains a small amount of bile salts which make the main compound more soluble. This formula will be injected into the skin, the location and amount depends on the patient’s condition.
