Meso and Lipo therapies are the latest FDA approved procedures for spot-reduction of cellulite and fat. These non-surgical, minimally invasive procedures are currently being performed on the eyes, chin, jowls, arms, bra handles, love handles, abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks. The fact is cellulite is different than fat. Cellulite appears when fat cells become trapped in the dermal area (or mesoderm) of the skin. These cells then swell, resulting in the "orange peel" or dimpling effect. 90% of post-pubescent females will develop cellulite, which is believed to be caused by several factors including heredity, smoking, lack of exercise and poor diet, and lactation. Pharmaceutically compounded substances such as Phosphatidyl choline are injected into the dermal layer of skin, where fat and cellulite accumulate. The combination of substances lyse (or destroy) the fat cells and transport the cells through the lymphatic system where they are naturally eliminated from the body. Mesotherapy and Lipotherapy are not weight loss programs; however, both treatments can spot reduce cellulite and fat that diet, exercise and even surgery can not help.
