In response to an article released by the FDA (posted on our fb Wall) warning about the dangers of lipodissolve, I'd like to state that Zel has never performed this therapy. We have always been concerned about serious complications. We understand that there are always risks to all the procedures we perform; yet with so little data on lipodissolve, in my opinion, the benefits do not yet outweigh the risks.
The FDA states that it has had multiple adverse incident reports from clients of medispas in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Florida, Minnesota, Idaho, and Maryland who underwent fat melting injections. This procedure is not FDA approved and can lead to infections and hard tender lumps under that skin.
In light of those reports, the FDA has sent warning letters to those medispas to stop their advertising claims that this therapy is safe and effective as there is no scientific data to support these statements.
