Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy Treatment Claims The Procedure

Mesotherapy uses a questionable technique known as injection lipolysis. As its name implies, injection lipolysis breaks down fat by injecting chemical solutions directly into the subcutaneous tissue. The ingredients used for mesotherapy vary according to the practitioner, but usually contain a combination of drugs, plant extracts, vitamins and other substances.

Although mesotherapy has used for many years in Europe, no credible scientific evidence exists to support its effectiveness. It has not received approval by the Food and Drug Administration, and several medical organizations have issued warnings about its use. One major concern is the lack of control over the ingredients used in the formulations. They are not regulated.
