Lipodissolve

Lipodissolve is a non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction as being less costly. Lipodissolve is also commonly called mesotherapy, lipolysis, or injection lipolysis. It is a cosmetic procedure specifically designed to reduce fat in problem spots like the abdominal, jowls, under the chin, below the arms, hips, the inner and outer thighs, and the love handles. In addition, it can performed to "get rid of cellulite" in the legs. Lipodissolve is not a weight loss procedure. It's main purpose is to treat areas on patients who are within or near their ideal weight, but simply have "problem areas" that continue to maintain fat even with exercise and a healthy diet.

It involves the usage of micro-fine needles to inject two drugs known as phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate straight into fatty tissues to dissolve fat cells. The body will naturally clear them by the way of the liver through the body's normal waste-removal process. The treatments usually last for twenty to thirty minutes. Specialists may or may not give an anesthetic to alleviate pain and discomfort that is normally connected to lipodissolve injections. Most patients have signs of insignificant swelling, bruising, redness, and soreness. Groups and individuals who are positive for the procedure claim that clients will have an improvement in their appearance in the following four weeks, and will keep improving up to 90 days as the body continues to eliminate the dissolved fat. Proponents of lipodissolve insist that it absolutely has the desired results, although the drugs involved have not been thoroughly researched or cleared by the FDA.

Risks & Side Effects

Although it is a non-surgical procedure, the caution must always be used before having lipodissolve performed because, similar to any other medical procedure, there is a possibility of some type of side effect, especially if done on patients who are not in the best of health or have a history of adverse reactions to the ingredients used. The good news is in the United States more than 2,000 lipodissolve procedures have been done with desired outcomes in over 90% of the patients and none showed any major side effects.

The biggest risk associated to a lipodissolve treatment is not every medical professional performing the procedure is qualified to do so. However, they are able to do so as it is not governed by the FDA. From knowing this, it is very important and recommended to do your own due diligence to find out which practitioners are most qualified and have the best educational credentials and experience. The main risk to the patient is an allergic reaction to the solution or where the lipodissolve specialist gives too much of the solution in one treatment which potentially could have unwanted outcome like ongoing pain and consistent burning sensations.

Preparing for a Lipodissolve Session

There is not much preparation required before going into a lipodissolve treatment. The specialist will provide an initial appointment in which the patient will be asked questions about current and past health history, issues, and problems. If the patient is considered to be sufficiently healthy for the treatment, another session is scheduled. An excellent tip for lipodissolve preparation is to drink lots of water and keep yourself hydrated, especially on the day of the treatment, because this will dercrease the amount of swelling and bruising post-procedure
