Mesotherapy began with Dr. M Pistor in France in 1952, with "meso" coming from mesoderm, the targeted superficial skin level. These were given in the skin for a with a variety of substances (the earliest being numbing medications such as procaine) and for variety of reasons but with no good controlled research trials. In 1981 Dr. Jacque Le Coz began using these techniques for athletic medicine using the skin as a controlled release delivery vehicle for local therapy of tendonitis and fasciitis.
The pioneers of Lipotherapy (mesotherapy technique used to treat fat accumulations) are Dr. Patricia Rittes and Dr. Roman Chubaty, under whom Dr. Berger trained. Phosphatidylcholine (lecithin of prescription grade purity) has been used intravenously since the 1950's in cardiac related illnesses to reduce cholesterol and plaque. Dr. Rittes has done over 26,000 treatments of body fat and Dr. Chubaty has done over 1000 treatments using phosphatidylcholine. There is now good research showing this to be a safe, effective and simple technique
