Diet And Subdermal Therapy

For INSTITUTO MÉDICO LÁSER, the best body treatment to fight excess volume, orange skin and flaccidness is by large the combination of two techniques: mesotherapy and subdermal therapy (Silhouette).

The combination of both techniques achieves outstanding results:

• Reduction of cellulitis

• Modelling of body contour

• Intensification of skin tone

• Improvement of blood microcirculation and lymphatic flow

• Elimination of muscle tension and rigidness

The patient also needs nutritional advice and because of this the normal protocol followed at INSTITUTO MÉDICO LÁSER is as follows:

• Two 45-min long weekly sessions with the Silhouette device

• 1 mesotherapy session after one of the two Silhouette sessions

• Diet medical control and progress check up every three weeks (the first week coincides with the first treatment session).

INSTITUTO MÉDICO LÁSER employs pure homeopathic mesotherapy, a concept imported from Germany, a vanguard country in the use of alternative treatments in aesthetic medicine as well as in other fields across medical specialties.

Cellulitis, a classic problem with contrasted solutions
The term cellulitis is defined as a localised accumulation of fat that produces an alteration in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, giving rise to the typical “orange peel look”. Cellulitis can develop as easily in thin as in obese people, but mainly in women.

Nutritional habits that are altered by the substitution of the Mediterranean diet by dietary habits imported from other countries favour the development of cellulitis. Other more influencing factors are the genetic load of the patient and a sedentary style of life.

Mesotherapy and subdermal therapy (Silhouette) are two medically consolidated medical techniques with contrasted and very satisfactory results after years of clinical experience.

Mesotherapy consists in the administration of natural substances (in no case hormones) through microinjections administered into the affected area, which produces a decreased volume in the treated area. Treatment consists of a minimum of 10 weekly sessions.

Subdermal therapy consists of an aspiration massage applied by specifically trained health personnel. This massaging produces a drainage of fat tissue and stimulates microcirculation and elastic fibres in the skin, correcting flaccidness and improving body contour. The treatment recommended consists of a minimum of 10 weekly sessions.

The best results are achieved when these two treatment modalities are applied together for a global approach to the problem. Normally, the patient goes down between one and two sizes, locally in the area that needs correction.

After the complete treatment, it is sufficient to have one monthly combined session of mesotherapy Silhouette and LPG to maintain the results indefinitely.

Nonetheless, it is essential to pay close attention to your diet. Instituto Médico Láser offers its patients the possibility to benefit from an individualised approach under the supervision of Dr Martínez Riquelme, a specialist in endocrinology and nutrition and an expert in this type of treatments. Dr Martínez will advice you in the most appropriate nutritional approach to follow to eliminate and prevent the reappearance of cellulitis.
