Dr. Verbeeten was one of the first physicians to introduce mesotherapy in Toronto. She is highly experienced in its application and performs all Mesotherapy injections personally. She has a particular interest in this therapy and has been featured on the CBC National News as well as CTV news regarding this treatment. Body Beautica has established the standard of excellence in Mesotherapy for spot fat reduction. Mesotherapy involves tiny injections of phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate as well as other harmless naturally occurring substances that initiate an inflammatory process in the fat below the skin.
This inflammation coaxes the fat cells to release their fat, which the body then eliminates easily. Unlike liposuction where the fat cells are removed, with Mesotherapy the fat cells remain, but with far less fat in them. The effect is gradual over 2 to 5 weeks after any one treatment and the end result is natural in its appearance. The number of treatments varies from client to client. It is not a question of whether the procedure works, rather how many treatments it will take to get the desired result.
Lipodissolve is a similar treatment and differs from Mesotherapy in the depth of injection and the type of solutions used. Both mesotherapy and lipodissolve are ideal treatments for those clients who are at their ideal weight but would like to reduce the fat in certain areas that do not respond to exercise. Examples are double chins, jowls, and small saddle bags at the hips. Generally, for double chins and jowls, 2 to 3 treatments are required.
