Doctor Michel Pistor

After studying at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris, Doctor Michel Pistor  chose to practice general medicine in a small rural village.

In 1952, he created mesotherapy , a therapeutic technique innovative in its simplicity. The Larousse dictionary defines it as follows: "a therapeutic procedure consisting of injecting minimal doses of medication, at a shallow depth, using very fine needles, as close as possible to the painful or diseased area."

He summarized this approach with the concise phrase: "Little, rarely, and in the right place." This philosophy guided his research and practice, optimizing the effectiveness of treatments while minimizing side effects.

In 1964, he founded the French Society of Mesotherapy (SFM) and later established and chaired the International Society of Mesotherapy.

Doctor Michel Pistor also perfected his method by introducing slow mesotherapy (mesoperfusion) in 1983, followed by micromesotherapy in 1998. In 1968, he presented mesotherapy , a versatile technique, to the French Academy of Medicine, which contributed to its legitimacy in the medical field.

In 1968, he presented mesotherapy, a versatile technique, to the French Academy of Medicine. His research and inventions led to the creation of Mesotherapy Diplomas (Diu) recognized by the National Council of the Order of Physicians in Paris (Pitié-Salpêtrière), Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Dijon, and Marseille, which was joined by Lyon in 2011.

Doctor Michel Pistor  also participated in the design of the devices required to implement his therapy, notably the Pistor 4 injection gun. His contributions earned him the title of Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur. His legacy lives on through the development of mesotherapy and the creation of numerous national mesotherapy societies, often established with the support of the SFM, thus contributing to the international reputation of French medicine.
