LIPODISSOLVE
Lipodissolve (or Lipo-dissolve) is a series of micro-injections used to dissolve fat deposits on the face and body. Lipodissolve was
originally discovered in Italy in the early 1980’s and modified in Europe in 2002. Lipodissolve is the best therapy for those who have localized
areas of fat deposits which need reduction and have poor response to diet and exercise, or those who unable or unwilling to undergo sugery but still looking for body contouring.
Lipodissolve micro-injections target the fat deposits. The medications injected initiate the fat to gradually loosen, liquefy and finally dissolve and eliminate through the
natural process. Lipodissolve is also sometimes used by plastic surgeons to mobilize fat during liposuction, or after liposuction to correct surgical deformities such as
increased cellulite from liposuction and ‘ripple’ effect from surgery.
Lipodissolve is not a weight loss program, and although some patients have dramatic reduction in circumferal measurement, the actual weight loss may be insignificant.
This occurs even with liposuction surgery of fat because fat itself is very light in weight. Call today for your free consultation to find out if Lipodissolve is right
for you.

LIPODISSOLVE F.A.Q
Will the fat return after Lipodissolve treatment?
The fat will return if you gain more weight in the future, but observations in Lipodissolve have shown that the fat often stay off quite well in the treated area even after some overall
weight gain.
Which part of the body can be treated with Lipodissolve?
Lipodissolve can be used to address fat deposits of:
- Thighs
- Hips
- Double chin/neck
- Fat of the cheeks and midface
- Fat deposits of the lower eye fat pads
- Upper arms
- Upper/ lower abdomen
- Love handles
- Back
- Knees and legs
- Gynecomastia
- Cellulite
- Lipomas
- Fat of the pubic/genital area
What are the side-effects?
Common side-effects are some burning in the area injected, bruising, swelling, and ache. Women should avoid treatment before and during their period, as this created a much greater
experience of discomfort and pain
What is the recovery time?
Depending on body area treated, patients often return to normal activity immediately after treatment. Patients having facial treatments for double chin or facial fat will have extensive
and unattractive swelling and may wish to stay off from work 3-4 days although this is not necessary. The normal time for swelling and soreness to disappear is one week. Some minor
swelling may persist longer.
How many treatments will I need?
It varies from patient to patient case and body areas targeted. It is normal that results are seen in 1-4 sessions although your case can differ.
How fast will I see results?
Treatments are repeated every 4-6 weeks apart. If you address large body areas, like the abdomen, and require several sessions you may notice minimal results between the first and
second session which improves with additional sessions. Many smaller areas, like double chin, often give satisfactory results two months after a single session.
Can results become uneven?
The different injection techniques can be used either for skin retraction or fat reduction. In procedures for fat reduction there has been no reports until date where unevenness
in areas injected have been observed from the injections. Often Lipodissolve has been used to correct uneven effects from other procedures, such as surgical lipoplasty and cellulite.
