I have seen the results of mesotherapy, and it wasn't pretty! The results-divots, high points, unaesthetic results, that required surgery to improve but not fix.

This procedure is too unpredictible for me to recommend.  Don't do this.  Really, don't do it. On second thouight, don't do it.

A: Mesotherapy - Modern Snake Oil

Mesotherapy is a term applied to the process of injecting something under the skin with the hope to "dissolve away" fat.  It is not FDA approved, and has not been proven to work.  The "stuff" that is being injected is a cocktail of other agents that are approved for use on humans (hopefully!) but not specifically for Mesotherapy.  There are no standard formulations, so even if you were to try and purchase a Mesotherapy treatment, you would have no way to know how much to pay!  My advice is to stay away from this stuff.  If you want to be experimented on, do it in a controlled clinical trial that has gone through an IRB - at least there you will be monitored!
