Lipodissolve
Lipodissolve is a non-surgical method of body contouring and an alternative to minor liposculpture. It is the first, clinically proven, non-surgical therapy for melting away small-to-medium fat deposits on the face, neck and body. It offers remarkable body-sculpting results in as little as a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the extent of the required treatment.
Lipodissolve originated in Europe and was developed further in the U.S. and Latin America. Injections are based on a mixture of standard medications, including vitamins, enzymes and phosphatidylcholine, a natural substance derived from soy. Medication is administered directly into the fat to initiate the breakdown of fat accumulation.
The main component of Lipodissolve is phosphatidylcholine, which is a natural compound produced from the soya bean. The body uses the same substance in a number of chemical pathways, including fat metabolism. Lipodissolve has been scientifically proven to break down fat cell walls. The fat is dissolved into liquid and eliminated from the body through natural means.
Prior to treatment, you will have the procedure plan explained, which will include where the injections will be made as well as how many injections you will need before the treatment commences.
To ensure a smooth reduction of the unwanted fat deposit, it is important to achieve the necessary concentration of phosphatidylcholine in every part of the treated area. This requires a specific multi-injection technique. At the time of consultation, the required dosage per area will be calculated. The amounts of phosphatidylcholine injected into one fat deposit will range according to your individual needs.
The Lipodissolve procedure takes between 15 and 30 minutes and depends on how many areas you are having treated per session. The number of required treatments differs from person to person, depending upon body region and body size. As a rule, three to six treatments in intervals of six to eight weeks apart are necessary to produce the best results.
You will initially experience some redness, swelling and discomfort as the fat cells are destroyed. The full effect of each treatment session becomes apparent roughly in six to eight weeks. You may continue to experience some mild discomfort and swelling during this time, but such feelings are normal for just one to three days.
What are the benefits?
- Mild, non-surgical procedure that reduces pockets of fat of the face and body without dramatic surgery.
- Unlike Liposuction, where uneven "dents" can occur in the areas where fat has been removed, new or future weight gain after Lipodissolve treatment is accumulated evenly.
- Extremely safe and effective.
- Minimal downtime. Resume normal activity in a few days.
- Phosphatidylcholine gives excellent results on cellulite and smoothes the "orange peel" effect.
- Results remain permanent unless there is new weight gain.
