What Is Mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy was first introduced in 1952 by a French doctor named Dr. Michel Pistor. Mesotherapy uses injections to rejuvenate skin, eliminate fatty deposits and treat unsightly cellulite. These injections are filled with various combinations of medications, vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
