What is Mesotherapy, and Is It Safe?

Mesotherapy is a technique that injects materials into the soft tissue and fat for various ailments

. The material injected into the body is typically vitamins, minerals, homeopathic materials, or proprietary materials that may be unknown. The injections are usually made into the soft tissue and fat, although there may be occasional injections into muscle.

Mesotherapy started in Europe in the 1960's and is currently being done throughout the world for various diseases and ailments. In plastic surgery, mesotherapy is often done to dissolve fat.This is also known as lipodissolve.

Theoretically, mesotherapy may be effective in dissolving fat, but in reality there are some practical concerns. The biggest concern is that it isimpossible to know exactly how much dissolving material is needed in a particular area of the body. You cannot see or feel the injected material underneath the skin, so it is impossible to know where and how much fat will actually be dissolved.

With regular liposuction, it is possible to judge how much fat has been removed by feeling and looking at an area. This is not possible with mesotherapy, since it takes time for the fat to dissolve. This technique cannot be observed in the operating room during the time of the procedure.

Finally, mesotherapy isnot considered a safe procedure in the US. The FDA has released an article stating that it is not considered an "approved" procedure, and the American Society of Plastic Surgery has also released a paper commenting on the concerns of dissolving fat through injections.
