Many dermatologists and plastic surgeons worry about Mesotherapy because they do not understand the outcomes of the treatment.
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive procedure which employs a series of multiple injections of pharmaceutical and homeopathic chemical agents into the selective areas of fat, inducing fat cells to rupture and cause cellular death. A patient may feel burning and irritation at the injection site and experience swelling at the time of the injections and immediately afterwards. The most common agents injected are Phosphatidylcholine/Sodium Deoxycholate.
Personally, I have been very interested in Mesotherapy, but I am reluctant to use it until I know I can expect a consistent positive outcome. Therefore, I must recommend that you be extremely cautious. If you remain insistent on Mesotherapy, you should seek treatment by physicians who are properly trained and certified by The American Board of Aesthetic Mesotherapy.
Mesotherapy is not FDA approved. The FDA cannot control the use of practitioners performing Mesotherapy because this practice falls under the jurisdiction of state medical boards. Therefore, check with your state medical boards to see if Mesotherapy treatments are permitted.
Thank you for your question, and I hope this helps.
