The FDA has issued an alert on the surging craze for fat dissolving injections and the adverse side effects. Most of these fat burning injections have ingredients not evaluated by the FDA and the injections except Kybella did not receive the FDA approval for use.
People falling for these non-invasive short cuts to shed pounds do not think about the hidden health risks of these honey traps. These fat melting injections are used to dissolve fats in specific areas such as upper arms, thigh, abdomen, chin, buttocks, hip and legs. Unlike the weight loss injections like, Wegovy, Belviq, Mounjaro and such other injections, which work as a whole in reducing the weight, the fat dissolving injections concentrate on small areas.
The substances in these injections target the fat in smaller regions and break down the cells and improve the physical appearance to a toned one. The promise for rapid results allures the people to fall for these injections.
Kybella, the only FDA-approved fat dissolving injection has an ingredient called deoxycholic acid, which breaks down the fat cells. Fat loss doesn’t mean weight loss in the case of fat dissolving injections. If you want to reduce weight, you have think about a healthy diet plan and exercise.
Other fat reduction injections like Kabelline, Aqualyx, Lemon Bottle, Lipo Lab and Lipodissolve make use of ingredients like phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholate (DC). The safety and efficacy of these ingredients are not evaluated or approved by the FDA for fat reduction. Hence, the medicines with these ingredients pose highest health risks to the users.
The FDA has received many adverse reports like skin infections, skin deformities, permanent scars, painful nodule formation and so on from the use of these fat melters. The agency has also found that people get these fat dissolving injections from online and inject themselves or get treated from unauthorized clinics. Improper injection administration or needle handling also can lead to these side effects.
The FDA had issued warnings to many spas for using Lipodissolve without permission in 2010 itself. Despite the warnings and adverse side effects, people continue to fall like swarm of files to the flame.
Getting injections from approved or licensed practitioners and ensuring that it is FDA-approved can save people from possible harms. In case of getting injured, never hesitate to get legal assistance. An experienced lawyer and a well-versed medical record review company can bolster your claims on the side effects of fat dissolving injections.
