S.A. Doctor Offers Syringe Treatments To Eliminate Fat, Cellulite
Mesotherapy Expensive, Some Claim Unsafe
In cases of spot-fat reduction, Chase uses a syringe that he said blocks the fat-entry gates and stimulates the fat-exit gates so that fat cells literally shrink in size and are metabolized by the body.While Chase said there has never been a complication or death in the 50 years mesotherapy has been used, critics fear the fat released could travel to other organs in the body.But Suzette Christensen, of San Antonio, said the results speak for themselves."I wear shorts now and don't worry about dimples peaking out behind my shorts," Christensen said. She now hopes to have similar success on her stomach.Mesotherapy takes between five and 15 treatments and each treatment requires between 20 and 200 injections. The cost is not cheap -- $500 per treatment.Copyright 2004 by KSAT.com All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
