Fat Dissolving Injections
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical cosmetic medicine treatment. Mesotherapy employs multiple injections of pharmaceutical and homeopathic preparations, plant extracts, vitamins, and other ingredients into subcutaneous fat.
Active ingredients are released into the target area rapidly but in a gentle manner with no side-effects. The formulation used at Kayleigh May Aesthetics are made without preservatives and are completely pure and sterile. The combination of lipo-active ingredients aids in mobilization of free fatty acids. Thus, it helps in the fat metabolization. Lidocaine is included within the injection to minimise pain.
