  According to Dr. Michael Pistor, the founding father of Mesotherapy, Mesotherapy is "surgical medicine," that is, medications are injected directly into the dermis at the site of pathology or condition being treated. Mesotherapy introduces microscopic quantities of natural extracts, homeopathic agents, pharmaceuticals and vitamins into the skin to treat a variety of conditions.
Its advantages include the elimination of side effects and contraindications associated with many medications. Intolerance to a medication is often triggered when it reaches parts of the body that have no need for it. In many cases, previously intolerant patients can tolerate the drugs in Mesotherapeutic form. Once the medication is delivered, the body is stimulated to heal itself. Because the target areas are immediately reached with undiluted medication, the amounts needed are reduced, making Mesotherapy more cost effective and more instantaneous. The microinjections are relatively painless, and side effects are limited to minor bruising.
