DMSO and Fat Grafting?

July 30, 2018
Asked By:westnj77 in Hudson, New Hampshire

I’ve read that DMSO is great for fat grafting because it increases blood flow and also decreases inflammation. There was an experiment that can be found online that shows that rats had fat grafting and dmso was used on one group and the other group did not. The dmso group retained much more fat than the controls. I got excited reading this, then I found some literature about some other studies of how dmso kills fat cells and it’s being used to treat cellulite. What is your thought on this Thanks
