How Much Does Mesotherapy Cost?

Despite popular belief, mesotherapy is not the same as fat - dissolving injections.  Mesotherapy is a technique of injection of medication, or another substance under the skin.  The idea is that the medications are absorbed via subdermal plexus and produce specific result, like reduction of inflammation, not necessarily related to cosmetic surgery at all. The original idea was that anti-inflammatory medications can help with improvement of arthritis symptoms, chronic... more

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.

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.

I do not recommend it and I warn against it. Patients that I have seen after the therapy have all been unhappy with the results. Also, we just dont know where the fat goes; being absorbed by your body is not physiologically sound. Just dont do it. If you're interested in getting rid of the trouble areas, do what is proven to be effective and has a higher saftety index—liposuction. Hope that helps.

I would urge great caution and only proceed if you have a trusted friend or family member who has undergone the treatment with satisfactory results. Because I currently don't perform the procedure, I cannot give you advice on the costs. However, I have seen several, treatment "failures"... more

Until the proper scientific studies have been performed and until appropriate safety information and guidelines have been established and until Mesotherapy or Lipodissolve has been FDA approved - don't do it!  Either lose the fat with diet and exercise or have liposuction.
