Can a series of injections help dissolve away your extra fat? That's what some medical clinics claim.
CBS went to two medical clinics in Southern California to check out their promises to melt inches off your body with a series of injections. But they discovered hidden dangers (source).
LipoZap is just one of several companies touting weight loss with a series of injections. The chemical is known as PCDC. A mixture of ingredients including lecithin and sodium. In Germany, it's marketed as lipostabil. It's become very controversial around the world and we found some companies aren't telling patients the whole story.
Lipostabil is banned in Brazil because it hasn't been approved for use. Doctors in Canada have been ordered to stop using it for fat removal. In California there's no prohibition against it. But it's not approved by the FDA.
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is doing a study but the study hasn't been completed--but for now the group has warned patients to steer clear of lipo injections
