Mesotherapy arrived to United States in the 1990's and since than it has been questioned as far as its safety and effectiveness. Since the arrival it has also been seeking the FDA approval. The Food and Drug Administration has approved many commonly used drugs used in mesotherapy like Aminophylline, Yohimbine, Procaine, Lidocaine, L-Carnitine, but not for the use as a liquid solution for the injections directly into the skin. There are some compounds used by the mesotherapy practitioners that do not have the FDA approval like vitamins, minerals, biotin. There are not considered drug or foods. So far there are no new updates on the subject from FDA.
