Just about everyone is familiar with fat pockets that you cannot get rid of. No matter how much you exercise, eat healthily and maintain your body at a healthy weight, localized fatty pockets fat pockets will continue to be problematic.
A possible explanation behind this is that some fat cells have a predominance of beta receptors and others have a dominance of alpha receptors.
Beta receptors are very receptive to the presence of adrenaline which is produced by exercise. Fat cell breakdown is triggered when adrenaline attaches to the beta receptors. Fatty areas with a predominance of beta receptors respond to exercise and a person on a regular exercise program will see noticeable results.
The opposite applies to fatty areas with a predominance of alpha receptors. When adrenaline attaches to alpha receptors, fat breakdown slows down and the fat tends to accumulate more. This explains why some people will experience problems in areas that just won't respond to a consistent and regular exercise. These problem areas are typically around the hips, tummy and upper thighs, leading to love handles, saddle bags, spare and tummy rolls.
Cellulite can be defined as a medical disorder observed as microscopic changes within the skin. These invisible changes manifest later after puberty as dimples. Cellulite is caused by skin that has deteriorated to a point that buoyant fat cells are able to push into the dermis, the middle layer of the skin, and show through the surface as unsightly lumps and bumps.
One plausible explanation - which also explains why very few men suffer from cellulite - is based on the composition and behavior of women's fat cells and the connective tissue that holds them in place. Very simply, a woman's connective tissue is very inflexible, so as females gain weight their fat cells expand, and tend to bulge upwards towards the surface of the skin, giving the classic orange-peel appearance of cellulite. In men, not only is there generally less fat on the thighs, but also the outer skin is thicker and thus obscures what is happening to any surplus fat below.
Cellulite is a progressive condition and if not treated can become a major stumbling block to self esteem and a healthy body. The best treatment is early intervention. Any treatment modality on its own can make a big difference, but in our eyes it's not sufficient. Cellulite has different forms and grades and thus success at combating cellulite needs a combination of treatments that include lymphatic drainage, reduction of fat cells, stretching of connective tissue and collagen stimulation

For Cellulite and resistant Fat; Millions of women are dissatisfied with the appearance of their bodies. More than 80% of women over the age of 20, regardless of their weight or size, are affected by cellulite and resistant fat. Most women are looking for a solution for the treatment of dimpled, sagging skin and pockets of resistant fat.
Studies have shown that over time, adipose tissue becomes lazy and begin storing excess fat. The good news is that the latest treatments such as Mesotherapy involve combinations of active ingredients that are more effective than ever at eliminating excess fat and cellulite and treatments should be started before the grade of cellulite deteriorates to a level which is more resistant to treatment
The mesotherapy is introduced into the skin either by small micro injections or by transdermal mesotherapy in patients who have a fear of needles (see Transdermal Mesotherapy) The needles used in Mesotherapy are very short and thin so the doctor can deliver the medications to the right depth.
Different mesotherapy ingredients are used for different indications. In addition, the long term results of Mesotherapy treatments are very dependent on what active ingredients are present in the Mesotherapy solution and how many treatments are prescribed.
These combinations present in the cocktail stimulate the production of collagen so that the dermis is strengthened thereby improving skin tone and texture.

The safety of the procedure is dependent on who injects the Mesotherapy product and how it is injected. At Body Renewal, mesotherapy / Lipodissolve treatments are only performed by doctors and strict aseptic condition adhered to.

Mesotherapy was recognized by the French National Academy of Medicine in 1986 as an integral part of traditional medicine. Each day, thousands of doctors worldwide use Mesotherapy to help tens of thousands of patients.
For anti ageing benefits, mesotherapy with Growth Factors stimulates the fibroblasts to produce collagen, which is the major support structure for the skin. If one can keep one's skin firm and taught with collagen, then the sagging that takes place over time can be contained as tighter skin supports the soft tissues of the face and body.
A series of treatments is necessary usually 1 treatment every 10 days foe the first month and then 1 treatment every 6 to 12 weeks for maintenance. Rather than waiting until their problems are bothersome again, patients must appreciate that maintenance goes a long way and that single mesotherapy treatments should be repeated twice yearly after an initial course.
After mesotherapy for cellulite and far reduction (Lipodissolve) a mild redness and swelling of the skin occurs following the procedure which usually resolves within 1 to 3 days depending on the mesotherapy solution used. Mild bruising may occur and this usually resolves after 7 days. However, since the introduction of a radiofrequency RF procedure after the Mesotherapy treatment there are only mild side effects such as swelling and bruising which resolve without any consequences and we have seen a dramatic improvement in long term results, see RAIL-THIN procedure . For best results 4 to 8 treatments are needed 2 weeks apart.
Mesotherapy safely treats all skin types without significant pain or down-time. It can erase centimeters of the areas treated in 4 to 6 treatment sessions 2 to 4 weeks apart..
At Body Renewal hundreds of mesotherapy treatments have been administered to our patients with great results. Since the introduction of a radiofrequency RF after the Lipodissolve treatments, we have seen a dramatic improvement in the side effect profile and long term results of a mesotherapy treatment.
