Ideal Candidates for LipoDissolve
The perfect candidate for LipoDissolve is someone who routinely exercises and eats a healthy diet but cannot shed that extra layer of fat. LipoDissolve is not intended for weight loss. Through the procedure small amounts of unwanted fat are dissolved but overall weight loss is insignificant. The change to your body is gradual so you must be patient with the results.
Permanent Results from LipoDissolve
Genetics determines the number of fat cells (adipocytes) each person has in their body. If you are pre-dispositioned to have more fat cells, it may be more difficult to get rid of the top layer of fat. LipoDissolve helps to permanently dissolve these fat cells so only a thin layer of cells remain.
If you gain more weight the treated areas will not be affected but any non-treated areas (including visceral fat cells under the treated locations) will expand. LipoDissolve should be looked at as an investment in an improved body image, therefore diet and exercise are recommended to avoid any excess weight gain.
LipoDissolve Chemistry
LipoDissolve is made of a pharmaceutical compound called phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate or PCDC. A series of micro-injections containing the compound are delivered to the targeted treatment areas where pockets of fat have developed around areas such as the stomach, buttocks, thighs, arms or chin.
The injections work by absorbing into the fat cells causing them to swell (become slightly inflamed) and then harden. These hardened fat cells then break down and within a few weeks results can be seen, in some cases measurable inch loss.
Once discarded from the body, the fat cell no longer exists. After several treatments, the skin will be smooth and natural.
Safety of LipoDissolve
PCDC is no stranger to the medical industry. The compound has been used in various medical applications since the 1950s and for cosmetic purposes since the mid 90s. To date over 85,000 treatments have been administered, and no significant adverse affects have been identified with PCDC injections.
Treatment Time Frame
Results vary per person – some patients may see results in as little as two treatments or as many as nine treatments. On average, most people get the best results in 4-9 treatments. Time between treatments is normally 2 weeks but will depend on your body type and physiology.
It is recommended to only treat up to three body areas at the same time. However, patients with a higher BMI should only treat one area at a time in addition to starting a nutrition program.
It is highly recommended that patients keep a healthy diet and lifestyle for maximum results.
After LipoDissolve Treatment
After your LipoDissolve treatments, you may experience some localized pain and discomfort in the treated area. A minor burning sensation is felt immediately following the treatment. Some soreness and inflammation may be experienced several days after treatment, and in some cases, localized bruising may occur.
Patients should avoid any vigorous physical activity or exercise for 48 hours after treatment. You should be able to resume work immediately.
