Abdominal haematoma--a mesotherapy complication.

Sir, Mesotherapy is a treatment directed at the mesodermderived tissues (bone, fat, muscle, cartilage) by injection of multiple compounds. Since first described by Pistor (1), it has been used for multiple purposes such as musculoskeletal and dermatological pathologies, aesthetics and chronic pain (2). In the last few years some side effects have been described (3). The utility of mesotherapy in the treatment of localized obesity is increasing because of its vasodilator and lipolytic potential (4). A major complication resulting after mesotherapy in the treatment of localized obesity is reported here.
