Fat Dissolving FAQ

What is Lipodissolve?

Lipodissolve, also known as injection lipolysis or mesotherapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a mixture of substances, a product that is found naturally in our bodies (phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate) into targeted areas to reduce localized fat deposits. When injected into subcutaneous fat, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.

How does Lipodissolve work?

The injected solution is believed to break down the fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated from the body over time.

What areas can be treated with Lipodissolve?

Lipodissolve is commonly used to target areas with stubborn fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, bra fat, back and double chin.

Is Lipodissolve a substitute for weight loss?

No, Lipodissolve is not a weight loss method. It is meant to address specific areas of localized fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Is Lipodissolve safe?

Lipodissolve has been associated with certain risks and side effects, including swelling, bruising, redness, and discomfort at the injection site. It's essential to consult a qualified healthcare professional before considering this procedure.

How many sessions are typically needed?

The number of sessions required varies depending on the individual and the treatment area and satisfaction with results. Usually, 1-2 sessions are required.

What is the recovery period like? Recovery time is relatively short for most patients, but some may experience mild discomfort and swelling for a few days following the procedure. It is advised to take a week off work particularly for double chin treatment.

Are the results permanent?

The results of Lipodissolve can be long-lasting, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet and exercise is crucial for optimal outcomes.

Who is a good candidate for Lipodissolve?

Ideal candidates for Lipodissolve are generally individuals close to their target weight, in good overall health, and seeking to target specific fat deposits.

Does it hurt?

The product will be mixed with a local anaesthetic, so once injected it will numb the area and will stay numb for a little while. Patients note that it can become quite tender and remain tender for a couple of days but nothing severe.

How long does it take to see results from double chin fat dissolving treatment?

Results from double chin fat dissolving treatment can be seen within 4-6 weeks after the first treatment, with full results visible 2-3 months after the final treatment.
