Lipo Dissolve

Lipodissolve (or Lipo Dissolve) is a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. The main ingredient in Lipodissolve is phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylcholine is a natural product found in our body. Its main role in the body is to help emulsify and breakdown fat and cholesterol and is a key constituent of our cell membranes and high density lipoproteins (the good cholesterol). The phosphatidylcholine that is used is derived from soybeans and has the same molecular structure as the phosphatidylcholine in our bodies.

When injected directly into fat deposits, Lipodissolve helps breakdown and emulsify the fat deposits. It is similar to Mesotherapy, but uses different chemicals that result in faster response time and quicker fat loss. During the Lipodissolve procedure a formula of Phosphatidylcholine and Sodium Deoxcycholate is injected into the unwanted fatty deposits. It causes the existing fat cells to dissolve and be flushed from your body over a period of weeks through the body's natural metabolic processes.

About the Procedure

Lipodissolve™ treatment involves the removal of fat using chemical injections. The Lipodissolve™ formula consists of vitamins, enzymes, and a natural, soy-derived substance called phosphatidylcholine, the main chemical component in soya oil. Phosphatidylcholine is a very safe substance, which has been used by doctors in higher doses as a treatment for high cholesterol. The needle used in the Lipodissolve™ treatment is very fine, about the size of an acupuncture needle. If you do not elect to use local anesthetic to numb the injection site, then you will experience a slight stinging sensation, but most patients report that it is bearable. Once the Lipodissolve™ treatment is injected into the targeted fat deposit, the molecular bonds between the fat molecules are dissolved, causing the fat to change its phase from solid to liquid. The procedure itself only takes about 15 to 30 minutes. The body uses its natural waste-filtration organs such as the liver and the intestines to gradually issue the fat out of the body over the next few weeks to months. Most patients observe improvement in their treated areas after about four weeks. The most successful course of Lipodissolve™ therapy is a series of treatment sessions carefully calibrated to build off of the positive results you are already exhibiting.

Treatment Areas

Unlike traditional liposuction, in which fat cells are suctioned out of the body, Lipodissolve™ can be used on flabby arms, belly fat, and a double chin as injections that break down the walls of fatty cells and let the body flush out the fat as waste.

The Recovery

Recovering from a Lipodissolve™ is a very quick process. Most doctors will not require you to take any time off from your regular responsibilities following treatment. Ask your doctor prior to undergoing the procedure if you will need someone else to drive you home. It is not uncommon to experience a slight burning sensation around the treated area for about an hour after the injections. You may experience some skin tenderness, swelling, and, less commonly, bruising around the site of injection for a day or two after the procedure. Your Lipodissolve™ doctor will give you post- procedure patient instructions on how to control any side effects.
