"Do you do Lipo Zap? If so, what is the cost? How safe is it?"


"An excellent question!! That process has, to my knowledge not been fully divulged to anyone or undergone any clinical, peer-reviewed trials in the US to determine effectiveness. Our societies have discouraged us from engaging in treatments such as this because they have not been scientifically evaluated in the US. The term "mesotherapy" means trying to treat or dissolve fat with injections. Quite typically, the effectiveness of a medical treatment is inversely proportional to the amount of advertising used to promote it. I would advise waiting until there is an approved and accepted type of injection treatment for fat. I do not do "Lipozap" because it is a name coined for one specific type of injection. If it is still around in another year, then perhaps it will have been investigated. I would also check on the credentials of the doctor or find out who exactly administers the "Lipozap" treatment to each patient."



Please note that this is the opinion of Dr. B, a plastic surgeon.

I make 0 (zero) statements on the effectiveness of any lipozap or lipodisolve treatment, as I am not a medical professional. However, I do quote customers and provide links to their blog or website address.

If you have had lipozap, lipodissolve, liposuction or ultrashape, please do feel free to leave a comment and tell us about your experience (good or bad be honest, and paying customers only please, thanks), and if you would reccommend it or not and why, thanks and gracias!
