Last year I decided to invest in "lipo shots" or what its called in clinics -- mesotherapy. My reaction to them is a bit mixed, but overall, positive. For one thing, they are MUCHO expensive, the time involved in each session is pretty extreme (3-4 hours usually), the soreness afterwards feels like liposuction (which i have had too...jeez) and the effect is cumulative, meaning you will need more than one session to see results. HOWEVER, after saying all that, I will say that after 5 sessions of what they call 'full body" (from my tummy to my knees in front and my back to my knees in back) there was NOTICEABLE inprovement in the reduction of cellulite (we took pics and it was astounding, really) and now, after a year, it is still really good. Sure I still have some cellulite, a small amount, but none of the extreme look I had this time last year. Sooooo.....I believe if you find a reputable clinic with a DOCTOR who administers the injections (approximately 600 injections per session....not for babies who hate needles) and who creates a formula for your particular situation, it DOES work...and other than soreness I had no bad side effects. Just my $3,800 worth (yeah, thats what 5 sessions cost me...still cheaper than lipo on the same body surface mass)...but I lost no weight with the injections, if you're wondering. That part is still up to me, and me alone, it seems. Sigh...grumble grumble.
Chrissie M It's only a number.
I'm making progress.
