The shots were more painful than I had anticipated. Went home that night iced my legs and the swelling began. It was so painful and hard to move my legs. Then in the morning open lesions began forming at the injection sites. Called the doctor, they said to give it time, but I stopped by the...

My experience was painful..but good. I would only recommend this procedure if one is fit and exercises regularly, and eats relatively clean. My problem with my saddlebags was from being overweight from pregnancy and I had loose skin with giggly type of fat in this area.

Who hasn't heard of Mesotherapy? I did and was always curious about it. The only thing good about the procedure was the funny gas I got hooked up to while I got poked. I had absolutely no results except for motivation to stick to my workout routine and diet.

I am slim, but had a problem with a bit of a double chin. After research, I found a cosmetician/ "Heiltherapeutin" who would do a few small injections in my face. She warned that I would have some pain and swelling, and that I would need to apply ice.
The injections were not...

Mesotherapy: was it worth it?
Mesotherapy Information
Mesotherapy is an injection designed to melt away fat that persists despite exercise and proper diet. Mesotherapy is also marketed as a cellulite treatment.
Mesotherapy involves a drug mixture injected into the body over a number of treatment sessions. These shots are meant to dissolve or melt away body fat as an alternative to invasive surgery like in Liposuction surgery. Mesotherapy is also known as meso, "Flab Jab", "Fat Jab", and Lipodissolve
The procedure is not approved by the US FDA. In fact, the FDA has warned consumers about the safety and marketing claims associated with lipodissolve and mesotherapy. The FDA is alerting consumers that
- The FDA has not evaluated or approved products for use in lipodissolve (mesotherapy)
- FDA is not aware of evidence supporting the effectiveness of the substances used in lipodissolve for fat elimination
- the safety of these substances, when used alone or in combination, is unknown
- FDA is not aware of clinical studies to support medical uses of lipodissolve
- In addition, FDA has reports of unexpected side effects in people who’ve undergone the lipodissolve procedure.
Mesotherapy/Lipodissolve side effects include, according to the FDA:
- permanent scarring
- skin deformation
- deep, painful knots under the skin in areas where the lipodissolve treatments were injected
