Lipodissolve
Lipodissolve is a non-surgical medical procedure that involves the injection of a compound called phosphatidylcholine into small localized fat deposits to dissolve fat. Phosphatidylcoline (PPC) is a naturally occuring enzyme and is the main component of soy lecithin. Lecithin has been medically proven to have the ability to break down fat and reduce cholesterol. PPC has been used for fat removal by lipodissolve physicians for several years now as a non invasive alternative to surgical procedures such as liposuction. It is in fact a “spot-fat loss” or “targeted fat loss” treatment administered through a series of injections which dissolve unwanted localized areas of fat, giving the area a firm, better toned appearance. The treatment requires no surgical incisions (traditional liposuction techniques do), but rather a series of injections of a combination of homeopathic agents and FDA approved drugs.
LipoDissolve solution promotes a process known as lysis, or the “dissolution” of fat from fat cells. The fat is converted to its liquid form, a process in which the bonds that connect fat molecules together are broken. This liquified fat is then taken by the lymphatic system to the liver, where it is metabolized and then naturally filtered out of the body through urination over the course of a few weeks.
Is Lipodissolve the same as Mesotherapy?
No. The procedures may appear similar, but the number of treatments and the depth at which the solution is administered are different. With Mesotherapy, the medication is delivered in small amounts. In contrast, the lipodissolve solution is injected in a higher quantity and deeper into the fat wall.
The lipodissolve procedure consists of a series of injections, made with a small syringe. Most patients typically undergo between only 1-3 treatments. The number of these treatments depend upon the individuals personal body, and the desired amount of weight-loss.
When several visits are desired, the treatments are usually applied 8 weeks apart for the same area of treatment, and 2 weeks apart for seperate target areas.
Unlike liposuction, lipodissolve procedures have no downtime after application. You should be able to go about your normal day right out of the office. Also unlike liposuction, there is no swelling afterward.
Results become apparent usually 4-7 weeks after the initial visit, although some patients report no noticeable results until up to 12 weeks after the treatment. Lipodissolve is advertised as having permanent results. This can be true because the fat cells treated are totally dissolved and flushed out of the system. However, if one does not exercise, maintain good health, and/or develops or continues poor eating habits, new fat cells can form.
Many parts of the body can benefit from the Lipodissolve : arms, chin, legs, buttocks, and abdomen.
While there are no reports of permanent or life-threatening complications, some side-effects may be experienced. Some of these include lumps, bruising, or skin-tenderness at the injection site, and allergic reactions.
