Lipodissolve - Is it Safe???
Date:9/24/2007

reatment are untested and the procedure remains unregulated. Consumers need to be aware that there are definite risks of complications from a procedure like Lipodissolve, which involves the injection of a foreign substance derived from cow bile into the body."

Dr. Schlessinger continued, "Lipodissolve is essentially a drug that has not been tested or FDA approved. While I do hold hope that it will eventually be studied under controlled trials, until this is done there is no way to ensure that it is safe. There is a huge industry that has been built up to promote this and they tout studies showing its safety, but all of these studies have been performed by the company selling the product. This flies in the face of solid, scientific research."

Joel Schlessinger M.D., board-certified dermatologist and general cosmetic surgeon, is the President of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery and past president of the Nebraska Dermatology Society. He is currently working with the FDA and the Nebraska State Board of Healing Arts to regulate Lipodissolve.
