Lipodissolve
Who is it For?
This is a safe and affordable treatment. It is ideal for many, many people - From those with lean figures desiring a perfect body, to the larger figured individual requiring weight loss and figure shaping, without undergoing a more invasive liposuction procedure.
How Does it Work? Lipodissolve is gently injected into troublesome fat deposits with a micro-fine needle similar to an acupuncture needle. Injections take only a few minutes and are easily tolerated. A topical anaesthetic is applied prior to treatment. There is no 'down time' so you can return directly to your work or social life. It is safe and easy! After a few days the treated areas slowly begin to soften and the fatty tissue thickness gradually reduces.
What is LipoDissolve?
The major ingredient Phosphatidylsholine is a natural product derived from soy. This ingredient is already in your body and is found in abundance in your fat cell membranes. When injected into your fatty tissue at high concentration it disrupts the cell membranes of the fat cells and results in the fat cell contents being melted and then released into the surrounding tissue.
Your body's scavenging cells slowly remove these contents in the same way that a bruise is slowly removed. The resorbed fat is partly eliminated from your body via the intestines and partly used as fuel. Lipodissolve forces your body to burn your unwanted fat.
Lipodissolve not recommended in pregnancy, breastfeeding or if you suffer from severe renal, hepatic or metabolic disease.
Does It Hurt?
Unlike Liposuction - no special garments need to be worn for weeks on end. Treated areas become a little flamed, red, warm and slightly tender for a few days. This is due to Lipodissolve dissolving your unwanted body fat cells. This minor discomfort is easily controlled with simple analgesics but these are seldom required.
What Parts of the Body can it Treat?
The commonest treated areas are - abdomen, thighs, hips, saddle bags, love handles, flanks, buttock, arms, neck, lower third of face and bags below the eyes. It can even help cellulite and stretch marks.
How many treatments?
The number of treatments required varies for each individual and the degree of improvement that is desired. Many people are satisfied with the results obtained with one or two treatments, whereas others may desire more.
How Much Does it Cost?
Lipodissolve is a fraction of the Cost of liposuction. The cost of Lipodissolve treatment is usually $250 - $750 per area, depending upon the size of the treated area.
