 Via USA Today: Lipodissolve proves popular despite lack of FDA nod

The American Society of Non-surgical Aesthetics, a trade group, estimates that 50,000 to 100,000 lipodissolve treatments have been performed in the USA and Europe. That's nothing compared with the 300,000 liposuction procedures performed last year in the USA, but the lipodissolve group predicts its U.S. market will grow to 500,000 a year.

JJlin writes: Anyone can perform mesotherapy. I tell people its cheaper to inject yourself in the comfort of your own home. You can purchase sterile needles and mesotherapy injectables online, compounding pharmacies, just about anywhere. Instructions online as well.

Aestheticianspa writes: I perform manicures, mesotherapy, botox, and laser hair in my garage transformed into a spa like office. I think anyone can do it as long as you have a doctors lisc. Just send em the check every month. :)

And Cosmo: Its pretty safe and effective. You can pick up the solution at any compounding pharmacy or online and inject it yourself. I tried it many times on a friend. Real easy for anyone. Go for it.

JJlin again: I agree w/ Cosmo. Who cares if it works or not? Everyone should get into Mesotherapy. Its cheap, easy and good cash.

Where to begin. It seems hard for me to believe that this kind of activity is actually happening let alone there are those who are posting that injecting yourself or others in the comfort of your home or garage is a good idea. The stupidity is overwhelming.

If you are injecting anyone and are not a licensed medical provider you are practicing medicine without a license, a felony in every state. If you are injecting yourself you are just plain stupid and should be removed from the gene pool as fast as possible. It's no wonder that mesotherapy has a hit-and-miss reputation for being pseudo-garage-science.
