Body Mesotherapy

Summer. Suitcase almost packed. Destination sun. On one side, the cellulite concern that lingers in every woman's mind, on the other, the risk of photo-aging damage and returning from vacation with tired, dehydrated skin, nullifying all the effort made throughout the year for impeccable skin appearance. Image The Urban Medi Spa recommends continuing self-care during this crucial pre-departure period with two essential treatments. 'Due to their speed and efficacy, these are the most requested treatments during this period,' explains Dr. Beltrami. Anti-cellulite Leg Treatment To prevent the so-called orange peel effect and significantly reduce water retention, mesotherapy cocktail is ideal, utilizing a mix of homeopathic medications selected according to the patient's characteristics and cellulite level. Since panniculopathy results from various factors, the medications target microcirculation, fluid drainage, and adipose tissue metabolism. The mesotherapy cocktail is particularly indicated during this time of year as it develops an improvement and maintenance function for legs before and after summer. The treatment typically requires 6-8 weekly sessions for optimal results. Anti-aging Facial Treatment And for the face? While using protective creams is essential to defend the skin from UV rays, it might not be sufficient. The recommendation to prepare skin for sun exposure and maintain it youthful and hydrated afterward is biorevitalization, a natural treatment that counteracts photo-aging damage. 'Considering patient requests, I recommend two closely scheduled biorevitalization sessions before departure and one follow-up session upon return from vacation, to provide the epidermis with a youthful, luminous, and hydrated appearance,' states Dr. Salentina.

Summer is approaching, and the question remains the same: how to achieve toned and slim legs before swimsuit season? The solution lies in an integrated approach combining a healthy lifestyle with advanced medical-aesthetic treatments. While maintaining a proper low-sodium diet rich in fruits and vegetables, adequate hydration, and regular physical activity is essential, Image The Urban Medi Spa has developed a specific protocol combining three scientifically validated treatments for enhanced results. 1. Storz® Shock Wave Therapy: Acoustic waves stimulate natural repair processes through mechanotransduction. This process promotes blood circulation, dilation, and reconstruction of the venous-lymphatic microcirculatory system vessels. Cell membranes become temporarily more permeable, optimizing metabolic exchanges and reducing oxidative stress, resulting in firmer and more compact tissue. 2. Mesotherapy: Given the multifactorial etiology of PEFS (Edematous-Fibro-Sclerotic Panniculopathy), mesotherapy treatment comprises various substances injected into the mid-dermis, providing trophic action on microcirculation and promoting drainage, lipolysis, revitalization, and firmness of connective tissues. 3. Oxygen Ozone Therapy: This therapy improves blood circulation and cellular oxygenation, accelerating the body's repair mechanisms. It is particularly effective in treating cellulite caused by water retention and circulatory insufficiency, visibly reducing the orange-peel effect. The synergy of these three treatments constitutes the Perfect Legs Protocol, specifically designed to address cellulite in its various manifestations. The protocol targets the accumulation of fluids and fatty acids that compromise microcirculation in specific areas such as hips, thighs, and buttocks.

Shock wave therapy represents an innovative treatment for addressing cellulite at Istituto Image in Milan. "These are acoustic pressure impulses, similar to those used to break down kidney stones," explains Dr. Paolo Salentina, aesthetic physician at Istituto Image in Milan. "They are transmitted using a handpiece (V-Actor 200 Awt applicator) that is passed over the treatment areas. The impulses break down both the fibrous tissue causing cellulite and the adipose cell membranes. A complete cycle consists of 5-8 sessions." The treatment acts deeply on connective tissue structure, stimulating microcirculation and promoting excess fluid drainage. The mechanical energy of shock waves also promotes new collagen production, contributing to improved skin elasticity.

Today we want to explore anti-cellulite mesotherapy and specifically a new product at our disposal. We discuss this with Dr. Salentina. What is cellulite? How to combat cellulite? To combat cellulite, it is essential to adopt a healthy and balanced lifestyle and implement a multi-step strategy. All steps are important: from nutrition to exercise, including the application of body creams. An integrated approach combining different therapeutic methodologies offers the best results. Mesotherapy Treatment Given the multifactorial causes of cellulite, mesotherapy treatment consists of different substances delivered to the mid-dermis through micro-injections. The aim is to generate a trophic action on microcirculation, promote drainage, lipolysis, and strengthen connective tissues. What is new about this mesotherapy? This is the first injectable device specifically indicated for cellulite treatment. It works by removing extracellular toxic agents deposited due to microcirculation alterations, which are a contributing factor in the genesis of cellulite. Can areas with laxity and sagging also be treated? In this case, I typically combine the action of polynucleotides, which interact with the dermal matrix increasing collagen release. My experience is not limited to common areas such as abdomen and gluteal regions but has extended with excellent results to toning inner arms, breasts, inner thighs, knees, and other areas.

An Additional Tool to Combat Orange Peel Skin Anti-cellulite massage is performed by combining various manual techniques. The objective is to combine mechanical-biochemical effects to achieve toning, drainage, and improved superficial and deep circulation to reduce orange peel skin appearance and alleviate lower limb heaviness typical during warm seasons. Anti-cellulite Massage: Phase 1 The massage is performed on the entire lower limbs, gluteal area, and trochanteric region, with possible extension to hips and abdomen. To combat cellulite, manual techniques progress from superficial to deep, increasing the treatment area temperature and promoting cellular exchange. Anti-cellulite Massage: Phase 2 The second phase focuses on mobilizing excess fluids toward main lymphatic and venous pathways. Rhythmic and deep effleurage techniques drain toxins and metabolic waste from subcutaneous and fascial layers. Effectiveness is achieved through the therapist's hand positioning and gravity assistance. The limb may be elevated during treatment to enhance fluid displacement and prevent stagnation. Anti-cellulite Massage: Phase 3 For Enhanced Effectiveness... The basal metabolism of massaged tissues remains accelerated post-treatment, especially when combined with physical exercise, proper nutrition, and professional cream application. To maintain continuous biochemical effects, daily application of a professional cream such as Zein Obagi Cellulite Control is recommended during the treatment period. Anti-cellulite massage is effective for early stages of cellulite and can be combined with other specific treatments such as shock waves and oxygen-ozone therapy, providing both therapeutic and relaxation benefits. Recommended Treatment Cycle For optimal results, two massages per week are recommended, complemented with home application of Zein Obagi Cellulite Control cream.
