The US FDA has begun cracking down on people who offer fat-melting "lipodissolve" injections. They say that the nonsurgical method to dissolve body fat is not approved and may have serious side effects.
The injections are being promoted as a "no-knife" alternative to liposuction and other fat-removing surgeries. Promoters say that they can help dissolve small fat deposits in the belly, thighs, and arms. But the FDA released a statement yesterday saying that it is "not aware of any credible scientific evidence that supports the effectiveness of any of these substances for fat elimination."
FDA officials also say they've received reports of lipodissolve patients with permanent scarring, dark skin spots, and even hard lumps left after the treatment. So obviously if you're looking for a way to get rid of your ugly body fat you should think twice before giving this unapproved treatment a try!
