Is mesotherapy(a type of non surgical liposuction) safe ?

Unproven: Mesotherapy is not fda approved. There is no standardization of the formulas used. No one can predict the results or the side effects. The stuff doesn't melt fat - it kills it, leaving lumpy scar deposits that are hard to correct. Not recommended, no matter how cheap it might be.

No proven benefit: Mesotherapy is unproven to help with the claims made about fat reduction, and can cause serious problems. I have seen many patients who not only received no benefit from the treatment, but have been disfigured by it. The asps and asaps have been investigating mesotherapy for years, and can show no predictable results despite controlled use. In the real world, there is no standardization for this.

Not at this time: There are no fda approved methods and many other countries have banned or limited the used of these products. There are currently several products being evaluated in clinical trials and it is likely we will see some more consistent, safe and regulated products in the next 5 years.

No: I cannot recommend the mesotherapy as a safe method for adipose tissue removal.
