Fat reduction shots (Cut line injection) - ME CLINIC SEOUL
Information
- Mesotherapy, which is the injection of substances locally into mesodermally derived subcutaneous tissue, developed from empirical observations of a French physician in the 1950s. Although popular in Europe for many medical purposes, it is used for local cosmetic fat reduction in the United States.
- Aminophylline is a mixture of theophylline and ethylenediamine. It is a common asthma medication and has a mode of action and efficacy similar to that of caffeine. In mesotherapy, it is used to promote the breakdown of fat and induce vasodilation. Aminophylline effectively inhibits phosphodiesterase, thereby increasing cAMP concentration, which allows for more efficient breakdown of fat in the cell.
- Aminophylline has a narrow therapeutic index. Adverse reactions can be encountered at dosages of around 250mg in most individuals. Side effects include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Cardiac arrhythmias and seizures are possible at serum levels exceeding 20mg/ml. As with yohimbine, I believe exclusion of aminophylline from the injection solution will not largely affect the outcome of the mesotherapy treatment, but allows for a much safer approach to treatment.
- Mesotherapy involves microinjections (2-12mm depth) of solution (0.1-0.3mL) into the subcutaneous tissue of the area(s) to be treated. Typically, treatments are performed weekly, bi-weekly or monthly depending on the area to be treated.
