Mesotherapy for fat reduction

Khaled El-Hoshy, MD answers: Mesotherapy - What can I use to help injection sites heal?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for creams/lotions to use to help with the healing of the injection sites and to make sure no scarring occurs.

Phosphadityl chloine/deoxycholate is NOT yet FDA approved for human use in USA. There is no indication for its usage, therefore it is NOT an "off-label ' use of a medication. The treating physician should fully inform the patient about this fact.

Overseas, "proper" use by a qualified physician can cause reduction in localised fat deposits. The pain/ swelling can remain for a couple of days after the procedure. There should be no scarring or infection if proper technique/sterility/medications are used.
