FDA warns about Lipodissolve in med spas '10 Remove Body Fat: Mesotherapy for Body Anti-aging VanderVeer Facial - LipoDissolve

Do you have "love handles" or "saddlebags" that no amount of dieting or exercise seems to touch? Would you prefer not to undergo plastic surgery?

Mesotherapy (also known as meso-lipotherapy or lipodissolve) is the exciting new medical alternative to liposuction for spot fat reduction and cellulite treatment.

History

Discovered in 1952 by French Physician Dr. Michel Pistor, mesotherapy is the practice of painlessly injecting small amounts of medications, amino acids, vitamins and minerals into the fat and connective tissue that makes up the middle layer of skin called the mesoderm. The technique was first used to treat such conditions as vascular diseases, sports trauma, infectious diseases, rheumatologic diseases, and to improve circulation.

Soon after its discovery, physicians started using the technique for aesthetic improvements. Mesotherapy has a variety of applications: spot fat reduction, cellulite reduction, hair rejuvenation, scar revision, improvement of the quality and tone of skin and the reduction of wrinkles.

Safety

Meso-lipotherapy is a cutting edge alternative to liposuction, plastic surgery and other invasive cosmetic procedures. Thousands of patients around the world have benefited from these treatments.

Although Meso-lipotherapy can be used on a very overweight person, a person with limited areas of fat can lose inches more economically than a person who may first require a weight loss program before beginning Meso-lipotherapy. Ideally, a patient will be within thirty pounds of their preferred weight before attempting Meso-lipotherapy.

Changing Body Contours

Meso-lipotherapy bridges the gap between health and appearance by allowing us to safely shape bodies by eliminating unwanted fat and unsightly cellulite. It is particularly frustrating for a person to lose a considerable amount of weight and still have areas of their body with excessive fatty deposits - love handles, tummy rolls, saddlebags, and cellulite. Even in people with normal weight, these cosmetic flaws can take a toll on self-esteem and lower the quality of life, especially in today's appearance-conscious society.

Lipomas

Meso-lipotherapy has also proven effective for the non-surgical treatment of lipomas. Lipomas are the most commonly occuring benign soft tissue growth. Lipomas are clusters of fat cells in a thin, fibrous capsule found below the skin. They can occur almost anywhere in the body but are found most often on the face, neck, upper thighs, and arms. Some people have multiple lipomas and while their cause is not completely understood, it is recognized that the tendency to develop them is inherited. And while overweight people may develop lipomas, obesity does not cause them.

Meso-lipotherapy is the only non-surgical intervention for lipomas. With injections there are no scars, no anesthesia, no stitches, no down-time.
