Yes, and it is painful. OK, quick history on mesotherapy, only plastic surgeons or specialists are performing this procedure. To do say your waist area will probally cost $2000. Basically, they take pinch the fat and inject into it several areas. This is suppose to be a new procedure. Now, for the truth, since I am old school, basically what the active ingredient is tricana(which has been around for years and years) I know BodyBuilders that where using this in the late 70's and I believe they were getting it out of France. You see Tricana, if you can get a hold of it, costs less than a $100 for that procedure. You can even get the whole mesotherapy kit on line for next to nothing. So, if you ever get that over priced procedure, I can tell you, I got the same results through diet! IMO

Pestys right on. Lots of pinning, pain, and swelling for minimal results. I say just for 2-3 session I wouldn't expect much, maybe .5-1mm fat decrease in treated area. Hardly noticeable unless you have an extremely low body fat level.

Pesty... thanks for your explanation. I'm not familiar at all with this procedure.

Not only plastic surgeons are doing this. Its a very simple procedure and if the person doing it uses a little lidocaine in each syringe it is painless. You will feel a little burning the night of and the day after and it is very effective. 200 bucks an area...If you pay more your getting ripped off.

That is a procedure, that you got to get injected a couple sessions, so add up $200 every time, usally 3-4 times to see results. I know guys in the 80's who were using Tricana, they use it 2-4 weeks. You normally will not see results in 1 session.

If the mix is right you will see huge results. If its week and diluted like what plastic surgeons give it takes a lot. Ive seen people who had one treatment and didnt need anymore in that area. 20 shots in upper stomach 20 in lower and a week later they looked insane.

You are not talking about Mesotherapy, it does not work like that. It was used in France since 1952, it is shot 25-100 injections over a period of 4-10 weeks. IMO, it works, but not like a good diet.
