Mesotherapy with Isoproterenol

How Isoproterenol Works in Mesotherapy

Fat cells have receptors on their surfaces that detect several types of chemical signals. One of these receptors is called the beta-receptor. When the beta-receptors are triggered, they tell fat cells to start breaking down the fat inside them. Isoproterenol turns on the beta-receptors. This causes the fat cells to break down the fat inside them.
