Mesotherapy (Lipodissolve) Products Receive FDA Warning

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warning letters to medical spas and a company in Brazil for making false or misleading statements on their Web sites about drugs they claim will eliminate fat in a procedure called “lipodissolve”, also known as mesotherapy, lipozap, lipotherapy, or injection lipolysis.

Lipodissolve (mesotherapy) is a procedure involving a series of drug injections intended to dissolve and permanently remove small pockets of fat from various parts of the body. The FDA has received reports of adverse effects in persons who have had the procedure using these drugs, including permanent scarring, skin deformation, and deep painful knots under the skin in areas where the lipodissolve products have been injected.
