From eve magazine, April 2004, in an article trying out different methods of achieving a pert bottom (I'm working my way through the list).
Mesotherapy involves injecting small amounts of a homeopathic solution, including specialised vitamin B1, artichoke and sea minerals to increase circulation. The solution is injected beneath the skin's surface twice a week for four to eight weeks. Yearly maintenance is recommended. The clinic claims an 80% success rate.
...
at first I had 30 to 40 injections in my bottom, thighs and lower back, an inch apart. But the number of injections and the dose increase and now, after 15 sessions, I'm having about 50 injections a time.
...
Some patients see an improvement in skin tone after four sessions and, because I have a healthy lifestyle, the treatment should have worked well for me. If the skin tingles, or there's an itchiness, that's a sign that the treatment is working. But I haven't felt any of that. Nor have I noticed any change in my shape. But different bodies react in different ways and it may just take a little longer with me. If it works, then the slight discomfort will be a small price to pay.The price of this : £450 for eight sessions. So this woman has spent £900, seen no improvement at all after around 700 injections, but is still holding on to the belief that it might just work if given time. Oh well, there's one born every minute I guess.
Needless to say, actually going to a gym, dieting and liposuction were all effective within 6 weeks.
