NOT Worth the Money or Pain. Very Minor Results. I Found Something else That REALLY WORKED.

I did lipodissolve (aka mesotherapy) starting in March, 2008. I did 3 areas (front of thighs, back of thighs, and upper hip area), 4 rounds each area, so my treatment course lasted until the end of May. I did one area per week, rotating until all areas were complete. It was SO PAINFUL! I was terribly swollen (in weird looking STREAKS!), had ugly purple spots where they injected me, the skin in each area was HOT for several days after each injection round, and I constantly had trouble sitting or walking.
I dreaded having to go to the bathroom & sit on that hard toilet (which happened way too often as you must drink a lot of water). I had to wear larger pants because of the swelling. Per their advice, I drank lots of water & massaged the areas (as much as I could with the pain). But after 3 months of torture I really didn't see any results.
I am 5'3 and weighed 128 at the time and have always been pear shaped (two sizes apart from top to bottom). ALL of my 'bad fat' has always been below the waist, so I tried lipodissolve to eliminate that & even out my shape. I normally do a 1 hour power walk 4 times a week but that fat is always there so I thought this would help. The cellulite appearance did reduce VERY slightly (or perhaps I tried to convince myself it was somewhat worth it at the time), but I still had all that weight & jiggle as if nothing happened, so it was certainly NOT worth it, especially the $6800 price tag!
Since then I tried several other things (different diets & workouts) and nothing solved my problem. But then this past fall I discovered the hCG diet and it actually worked! I am now 117 pounds and a size small both top AND bottom! I did the real hCG drops (NOT the 'homeopathic' ones) and it was a total success. During the hCG diet, I lost only the 'bad fat' which cleared out of that area, even those ugly pockets of cellulite I've been carrying around since I was a teenager are gone.
I wish I would have known about hCG 4 years ago. I paid $120 for it, which seems high, but it was MUCH better than $6800 for nothing. I guess you live & learn. My sister has 3 boys & has been trying for years to get rid of her baby weight. I told her about both the lipodissolve when I was doing that, & recently about the hCG diet. She's pear shaped like me, and lost 23 pounds with hCG, and has also evened out her shape. So, if you're thinking about doing lippodissolve, DON'T DO IT!!! Perhaps if it's for your chin area or somewhere small like that, it may be OK. But for anything else, I recommend the hCG diet. It actually WORKS, only targets the bad fat, lasts just one month, it's A LOT cheaper & is PAIN FREE.

Could you PLEASE provide the name of the "real" drops of HCG? Did you have to change your diet? Or just use the drop? Thanks so much!

HCG diet has to be done with a 500 calorie per day diet. No fat, sugar or dairy. It is a very hard diet to do but if you have the will you will be successful. From what I have seen results are great when the diet is followed correctly

500 calories a day is a starvation diet. It is unhealthy and unsustainable. The only way to lose weight is to eat slightly less calories that you burn each day. And the only way to keep it off is to eat the same number of calories you need per day. The only 2 ways to alter the balance of calories is to reduce consumption (calories in) and increase activity (calories burned). It's not rocket science. There's no magic pill or drops.

Your not in starvation mode with real hcg, hcg is fat and you are adding ( I think 3,500 calories ) in the drops, real hcg is hard to get unless you go to a doctor, I always bought my hcg from a great company called Healthy Hcg, they have new drops called Nano drops, I tryed them they work, you can call and they are very helpful. I do hcg once a year before I move to the beach for the winter months, I LOVE the hcg diet, it works,I cook lots of different recipes and usually do go a little over 500 calories a day since I'm active. But you just can't do 500 cal a day without the drops, people think they can, also the hcg gives me tons of energy and feel great, look HCG forum, that's excellent

That is not always the case, I exercise and eat a low calorie diet and lose 0. I use my fitness pal to make sure I am in range, sometimes it is hormonal

I have to disagree with you, the drops are keeping you from maybe feeling famished, but the fact is that 500 calories a day is seriously unhealthy and dangerous. The only reason you're dropping weigjt is because of low cal intake...and it cannot and will not be maintained. A family member refused to listen and did the same thing you did, once she was off them, and you have to get off them, she gained the weight back and then some! By the way, when one looses weight it's lost all over, there's no such thing as particular areas, it's not like the drops have a visual map.... I' m 130 and carry the weight on my boobs, 128 at 5.3 is really good.
