FDA warns about Lipodissolve in med spas '10 Mesotherapy - Chin '07 Mesotherapy for Face Mesotherapy

Are the bags under your eyes packing for a trip? Mesotherapy (also known as meso-lipotherapy or lipodissolve) for fat removal was first proven in eye pads - those fatty bulges beneath the eyes in some people.

Are you beginning to resemble your bulldog? Meso-lipotherapy to re-sculpt the jaw line is one of its best applications. This revolutionary procedure is the only non-surgical treatment available for treating facial fat deposits.

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 Facial Contours

Meso-lipotherapy bridges the gap between health and appearance by allowing us to safely shape faces by eliminating unsightly fatty deposits. It is particularly frustrating for a person to be normal weight, or even thin, and still have a double chin or sagging jowls! These cosmetic flaws can take a toll on self-esteem and lower the quality of life, especially in today's appearance-conscious society. Meso-Lipotherapy is revolutionizing facial rejuvenation by offering the only non-surgical treatment available for treating facial fat deposits.
