LipoDissolve? Mesotherapy?

ingenue · Jun 17th, 2008, 10:14 AM

Has anyone tried this procedure? It involves getting injections into problem areas, with something that supposedly circulates and flushes the fat out through urine and stools over the course of a few days. They say that you lose about 1 - 2 inches off of the treated areas in about three days. Of course, it sounds too good to be true, but has anyone tried it? Mesotherapy is similar. This is the site of the local clinic when i get home (I'm currently in France). It's not too expensive, so, any opinions? Yes, no?

I have never tried anything but have heard conflicting testimonials. I've heard it doesn't work and that there isn't anything that can get rid of cellulite???? and then I've heard it was amazing.

Apparently nobody's actually done this. I can't find testimonials anywhere. :/

I actually worked at a plastic surgeon's office who did this. Basically, it IS too good to be true

It's NOT a quick fix, and not for large areas. The only place he really would use it would be the under the chin after a face lift. You know, the little area that *always* needs a little firming up. In fact, he'd only use 2-5cc's at that area.

It's also pretty rough - not like a Botox shot. Imagine a needle, used just like the lipo wands!

I hope you aren't too disappointed - I wanted to see if anyone else would respond to you. If I were you, I wouldn't waste my money - and if you really want treatment, go for the regular lipo!

Paying for mesotherapy is just paying for expensive pee.

I tried mesotherapy on my thighs few years ago. It didn't do anything. I don't recommend it.

I have tried mesotherapy: it is painful, I ended up being blue all over legs, and it did not do a thing for me.

save your money on that.

Thanks for all the replies ladies! I'm not overweight (I'm a size 8 on top, 10 on bottom), I'm just not thin and was hoping to rid myself of some stubborn saddle bags. But, maybe I'll just keep on doing lunges.

Thanks again, I couldn't find anything straightforward anywhere!
