You know that sagging skin develops slowly as collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid become deficient. Now just imagine the body areas of sagging skin where fat accumulates underneath. Mesotherapy is an injected solution that has been well proven[1] to cause permanent fat necrosis; therefore, it safely dissolves fat.
These are the “spot fat” areas that can be successfully treated with mesotherapy:
Since 1987, physicians from Italy and France used phosphatidylcholine for the first time to treat localized fat deposits. After numerous smaller studies later showed it to be effective and safe, the first mesotherapy training programs were established in North America in 2004. I attended one of those in Las Vegas, NV in 2005, although I never implemented it into practice at that time. Since 2010 there have been more than 100,000 healthcare providers of mesotherapy worldwide and have provided hundreds of thousands of treatments cumulatively.
You’ll be pleased to know that there are only two simple ingredients in the mesotherapy solution that is injected into spot fat body areas. These are:
Phosphatidylcholine (PC)
It was first identified as a common fat emulsifier in foods, called Lecithin. In 1959 a study showed it increases the solubility of cholesterol and reduced triglyceride levels. Since then, the FDA has classified phosphatidylcholine as a nutrient supplement to boost cognitive function; phosphatidylcholine makes up nearly 40% of human cell membranes.
Sodium deoxycholate (DC)
This is a natural, non-allergenic bile salt that dissolves fat.
Although the procedure is similar, the amounts and injection details vary depending on the body area. In general, many small injections of 0.1 to 0.8 ml are placed 1-2 inches apart, into the center of the fat pad area being treated using a tiny 30 or 31-gauge needle. Lidocaine mixed with the solution makes it almost painless. Most small fat pocket areas require 3-4 injection sessions, every 4-5 weeks to allow for healing between treatment sessions.
In general, you can expect to have 85% overall satisfaction from mesotherapy lipolysis, with tolerable pain (after injections for a few hours) and minimal risks.
