Fat-Dissolving Spa Treatments Are a Scam

by Megan on April 13, 2010

The FDA is lashing out at and warning the nation against procedures, which involve the injection of substances that are not approved by the government body. These procedures include lipodissolve, mesotherapy, lipozap, lipotherapy and lipolysis, and the FDA have officially issued warnings to spas in five different states to stop claiming their procedures can “dissolve” fat.

“We are concerned that these companies are misleading consumers,” says Dr. Janet Woodcock, director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “It is important for anyone who is considering this voluntary procedure to understand that the products used to perform lipodissolve procedures are not approved by the FDA for fat removal.”

It seems many of the ingredients used in as well as the manufacturing of the injections themselves are from Brazil. It has been found that the two main drugs used, phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate, do not work when tested in credible clinical trials.
