TLDR The book gives a basic overview of mesotherapy and fat-dissolving injections but lacks detailed guidance and effectiveness comparisons for practitioners.
The document is a book review of "Aesthetic Mesotherapy and Injection Lipolysis in Clinical Practice," which provides a historical overview of mesotherapy and injection lipolysis but does not instruct on how to perform these techniques. The book discusses the development of cellulite and fat deposits and the disagreement on their exact causes. It is noted that the field can be divided into two disciplines: aesthetic mesotherapy for treating ageing, hair loss, and cosmetic issues, and the use of chemicals like phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate for treating fat deposits and cellulite. The reviewer criticizes the book for not differentiating sufficiently between these two disciplines and for not providing guidance on the effectiveness of various formulations used in aesthetic mesotherapy, as there have been no clinical studies comparing them. The book is recommended for those new to the field but not for experienced practitioners seeking advanced knowledge on treatment formulations.
