Mesotherapy and phosphatidylcholi…fication and review.

This review found that phosphatidylcholine injections (often called fat-dissolving injections) do show some effectiveness at removing small pockets of fat, but the results come mainly from the deoxycholate ingredient acting as a detergent that breaks down fat cells—not from phosphatidylcholine itself. Most claims about mesotherapy for fat or cellulite removal lack solid peer-reviewed evidence, despite being popular in Europe and Brazil.
