The FDA has started to crack down on spas administering fat-melting injections. While many spas are marketing these injections, also called lipodissolve injections, as a minimally-invasive alternative to liposuction, the FDA claims they have not been proven safe or effective.
Lipodissolve injections are used to dissolve unwanted fat near the legs, arms, and belly. However, the FDA has not approved fat-melting injections for this use, and they have begun citing spas administering these treatments.
In a letter to several spas across the country, the FDA has warned these spas that they are in violation of law by promoting false and misleading statements regarding the safety and effectiveness of a product whose clinical data does not support these claims. The cited spas must stop making these claims, and they have 15 working days to inform the FDA of the steps that have been taken to rectify these violations.
The FDA has received reports of patients who have suffered permanent scarring, hard lumps, and dark spots on their skin as a result of lipodissolve injections. If you have suffered an injury from your lipodissolve treatment, you may be entitled to receive compensation in a product liability lawsuit. An experienced defective product lawyer can help determine if you have a valid claim.
