Grammy Award winning singer Roberta Flack is one of the most recognized voices of mesotherapy. Her lifelong struggle with weight loss led her to the discovery of this advanced application that at the time meant a regimen of painful hypodermic treatments. By 2003, Flack had lost more than 35 pounds but endured over 500 injections. "I did a lot of singing when he was sticking me," Flack told CBS News. Luckily, for thousands of other mesotharapy patients, painful injections are a thing of the past, thanks to a product called MesoDerm - a tool that delivers the same mesotharapy drugs without the use of needles.
MesoDerm® uses a *Mesoporation® principle that delivers the desired drug directly through the skin, bypassing the injection process while maintaining the highest levels of efficacy. The key to the process is Electroporation, which reorganizes the cellular membrane via electrical impulses, creating temporary channels called Mesopores, which allow the chosen drug to penetrate the tissue.
This process can be used to deliver a wide variety of drugs used for rejuvenation, wrinkles, fat deposits, cellulites, bleaching, acne and other skin problems. Due to the non-invasive delivery method, there is no pain, swelling, or tissue damage to the patient. Because it is a not an injection, it can be performed by trained personnel under the supervision of a physician.
Unlike the legendary vocalist who had to suffer through repeated painful injections, mesotharapy patients now can enjoy painless treatments that offer the same results - without having to sing the blues through every visit.
*Mesoporation is a process developed by Microlab Biomedical, an Italian Bioengineering Company, and American doctor Aleksy Dobradin M.D. MesoDerm® is FDA approved and registered as a Class III medical device. It is available in the USA and can only be purchased by licensed physicians.

Mesotherapy Is An Unproven, Dangerous Fad
posted by Celestial Teapot on 30 Jan 2008 at 5:53 amMedical News Today offers us yet another naked commercial promotion for a medically unproven and dangerous procedure. I'm pleased Roberta Flack lost some weight four years ago, although I have to question the judgment of anyone who would be willing to endure 500 injections to lose 35 pounds. It is also very unlikely she maintained her weight loss. The citation of her experience constitutes mere anecdotal evidence and is totally useless in evaluating the effectiveness of "mesotherapy". "There is simply no data, no science and no information, to my knowledge, that mesotherapy works," according to Rod Rohrich, M.D., Chairman, Dept. of Plastic Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons issued a position statement not endorsing mesotherapy because to date, there has been no established mechanism of action, demonstrated efficacy, or established safety profile with any of the drugs used in mesotherapy.
