Does Mesotherapy Replace Liposuction?
Mesotherapy offers an alternative to even the safest form of liposuction (see table below). For instance, Tumescent liposuction has been recognized world wide as the technique permitting the greatest safety, the most rapid recovery, the least pain and the best aesthetic results. Mesotherapy is a less-invasive alternative supported by a 1994-95 study on “topical fat reduction” by UCLA researchers. This study concluded women who had Mesotherapy injections lost weight even without diet or exercise. About 100 people a year die because of liposuction, Mesotherapy has no deaths, strokes or heart attacks. A patient’s major concern with Mesotherapy is simple bruising and liver toxicity.
