Weight Loss Trends - Does Lipodissolve Really Melt Fat?

People worldwide are bombarded with images of gorgeous movie stars who are skinny - completely sans cellulite. There are many things people do to shed fat. While doctors generally say that diet and exercise are the best ways to get thinner a lot of people turn to cosmetic surgery as a magic solution.

People who read health magazines have seen advertisements promoting simple cellulite busting treatments such as Mesotherapy, where drugs are used to 'melt' fat cells. Do these shots and drugs work?

Here are some guidelines. The treatment known as cellulite melting lipo dissolve (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 fat. 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 physicians are not allowed to administer the most commonly injected drugs.

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

Why not stick to diet and exercise?

Obesity has fueled a billion dollar weight loss product industry. Unfortunately for the consumer, all of these products are not reputable. Learn whether you are being told the truth or being sold a bad bill of goods.
