promotional[edit]

This article reads like an advertisement. "Melt" fat? The only fat I ever saw melt was on a stove at 300 degrees F. I had one friend try this kind of treatment. Her results? NO IMPROVEMENT. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.65.217.189 (talk) 01:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious, how long does the current warning stay on a page? This is 2013 and it was noted as being posted in 2009?--Jack (talk) 21:42, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It stays until the problem is solved.-- Brainy J ~✿~ (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After doing a quick search through journals, there doesn't appear to be any scientific/medical proof of efficacy of these treatments, other than a couple of articles authored by individuals/groups with severe conflicts of interest. Definitely reads as an advertisement. yames2 08:58, 2 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yames2 (talk • contribs)

Injection lipolysis removed[edit]

I removed references to injection lipolysis. First, I believe that injections by strict definition are surgical. I would want a practitioner to have sufficient surgical training to know the anatomy and principles of sterility before performing an injection. For comparison, in the US at least, Botox is performed by physicians. Second, injection lipolysis is in a completely different class of treatments from these transcutaneous devices. The transcutaneous devices operate on similar principles, and have sufficiently extensive research backing to be FDA approved. Finally, injection lipolysis has its own article already, and doesn't need to be rehashed in this one. AlphaAntares (talk) 10:30, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
