Fat Reduction – Lipo Dissolving Injections

Lipodissolve™ Uses

Lipodissolve™ can be used on a variety of areas of the body including the arms, chin, belly, and legs. Lipodissolve™ functions as both a method for removing fat deposits that remain unaffected by diet and exercise and as an effective technique for treating cellulite. While liposuction treatments generally result in significant post-treatment swelling, healthy skin actually tightens around the site of Lipodissolve™ injection, creating a firmer, more toned appearance without the need for lift or tuck surgery. 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.

Fat Removal

Lipodissolve™, the latest innovation in non-surgical cosmetic treatments, removes fat from small areas. It does this by breaking down the bonds that maintain the solid form of body fat. Once the fat is converted to liquid form, the body is able to remove the fat naturally at a much more rapid pace than your normal metabolism is able to accomplish. The body’s fat removal process will take from several weeks to a few months to complete, depending upon the patient. For larger treatment areas such as the entire lower body, liposuction may still be necessary to achieve dramatic improvement.

Lipodissolve™ for Cellulite

Lipodissolve™ treatment has an impressive track record for smoothing and removing cellulite, the dimpled “orange peel” skin that often affects the buttocks and legs. The skin actually tightens over the area injected with the Lipodissolve™ solution, which can noticeably diminish the appearance of cellulite.

The Lipodissolve™ Procedure

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. 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 sessions are always spaced between 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Lipodissolve™ can be used on almost any area of the body that carries a small, but stubborn fat deposit. The treatment is often used to diminish the appearance of a double chin, to remove unsightly underarm fat, or to decrease the width of your waist, sometimes by several inches. It can even be used to improve the appearance of baggy eyes. Lipodissolve™ treatment is not effective in the treatment of large fat deposits, so consult your doctor to determine whether Lipodissolve™ or liposuction is a better choice for improving your body contour or facial appearance.

Preparing for Lipodissolve™ – Patient Instructions

Because Lipodissolve™ treatment is non-surgical, very little in the way of formal preparation is required in comparison to more extensive cosmetic surgeries. It is a good idea not to skip meals and to drink plenty of water on the day of your treatment. This will decrease the likelihood of painful bruising.

During your initial consultation, your therapist will perform an examination of the areas that you wish to target through Lipodissolve™ treatments. Lipodissolve™ treatment is gentler on your body than other methods of fat removal because it is gradual. You will see signs of improvement, but seldom achieve your target weight loss goal after a single treatment session.

Lipodissolve™ is only proven to work well for removing small to medium deposits of fat. If you have been diagnosed with severe to moderate obesity, then you will likely need to prepare for Lipodissolve™ therapy by first losing as much weight as possible through diet and exercise. If you are unable to lose weight through these means, liposuction may be the answer.

Lipodissolve™ Recovery

Recovering from a Lipodissolve™ is a very quick process. 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.

You should probably refrain from any strenuous exercise on the day you receive your injections and stick to gentle exercises for about a week following the injection.

Lipodissolve™ injections do not necessarily result in weight loss, but rather a modification of the body’s contours.

Lipodissolve™ Risks and Benefits

The Lipodissolve™ treatment has many benefits and few risks, but risks do exist. Side effects such as lumps, bruising, and skin tenderness may occur at the sites of injection, but these are temporary and generally subside within a few days.
