Blog Stuck On You

Television and music stars promote the image of being wafer thin, and their followers try everything to achieve the same look. There are many ways to shed fat. While dieticians generally say that diet and exercise are the best ways to get rid of cellulite a lot of people turn to cosmetic surgery as a magic solution.

Those who watch the news have seen advertisements promoting effortless cellulite busting treatments such as Lipostabil, where drugs are used to ‘melt’ fat cells. Are injections truly a substitute for diet and exercise?

Here are some guidelines. The treatment known as mesotherapy (many names actually) is fairly non-invasive. Compare it to liposuction, which uses a tub to literally suck out several liters of fat. These injections really only remove small amounts of unsightly cellulite. The most common lipodissolve drug is a combination of phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate, which you can learn more about on the Internet.

Something to consider - the FDA or Food and Drug Administration has not approved these drugs. The reason the drugs haven’t been approved is because few good studies have been done to prove safety and efficacy. In some countries lipodissolve has been banned.

Do your homework before signing up for injection lipolysis so you know what to expect.
