What is Lipodissolve?

Lipodissolve is a non-surgical body contouring procedure that offers an alternative to traditional tumescent liposuction. This innovative technique involves injecting a specialized compound under the skin to dissolve localized fat deposits with minimal invasiveness.

Key Features of Lipodissolve

• Non-surgical fat reduction method
• Targets isolated problem areas resistant to diet and exercise
• Minimal downtime and discomfort
• Uses naturally occurring compounds

How Lipodissolve Works

The procedure utilizes Phosphatidylcholine (PPC), a naturally occurring enzyme derived from soy lecithin. This compound has been medically proven to break down fat cells and reduce cholesterol. During treatment, multiple micro-injections are administered into subcutaneous fat layers.

Treatment Areas

Lipodissolve can effectively treat various body regions, including:

• Lower eye pads
• Chin and jowls
• Cheeks
• Abdomen
• Upper and lower back
• Upper arms
• Hips and thighs
• Knees
• Buttocks
• Love handles

Treatment Process and Recovery

The Lipodissolve procedure typically involves one to five treatment sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Most patients experience mild discomfort, with common side effects including temporary burning or stinging sensations and localized swelling that subsides within 2-4 days.

Ideal Candidates

Lipodissolve is best suited for healthy individuals who are:

• Close to their medically ideal body weight
• Have isolated fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
• Do not have extreme skin laxity

Important Considerations

While Lipodissolve permanently destroys targeted fat cells, remaining cells can still enlarge with weight gain. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen is crucial for sustaining results.
