In addition to general fat reduction, Mesotherapy is highly effective in treating cellulite. Cellulite are lumpy fat deposits on the body. Liposuction does not treat cellulite and may possibly make cellulite more pronounced. Cellulite mesotherapy treatments target problem areas and actually break down the cellulite, resulting in a smoother skin surface. With Mesotherapy, fat cells shrink in treated areas and the body does not compensate by gaining weight back in other areas, as may be common with liposuction.

Cellulite is often seen in the superficial layers of the skin on the legs, hips and buttocks. Cellulite is the result of water being retained in fat cells and eventually the cells harden and cause a lumpy, bulging effect in the skin otherwise known as a "cottage cheese" appearance. Some of the reasons for cellulite are poor circulation, poor connective tissue, fat cell herniation and hormonal imbalances. Wearing underwear that constricts areas on the buttocks and the thighs can increase the incidence of cellulite. Mesotherapy can effectively treat cellulite. Known benefits of Mesotherapy for cellulite are:

• Improved lymphatic drainage

• Removal of excess fat deposits

• Removal of hardened connective tissue

• Increased blood flow to the affected areas
