LIPODISSOLVE

Lipodissolve is an injected form of fat reduction. The goal of Lipodissolve injections is to reduce the amount of unwanted fat in areas around the body including the abdomen, hips, and thighs as well as reduce the appearance of cellulite without surgery.

At Glow, we use a form of injection lipolysis that reduces the amount of fat in the treated areas. Unlike mesotherapy, Lipodissolve has defined components, phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholate (DC). The DC component of Lipodissolve is a bile salt which breaks down fat whereas PC helps in the digestion and drainage of the broken down fats.

Lipodissolve permanently destroys and removes some of your unwanted fat cells. Once they have been destroyed they don’t come back. And as we do not grow or develop new fat cells after puberty, the results are permanent.

During a Lipodissolve treatment no topical anesthetic is needed, however, icing the treatment area for 4-5 minutes prior to injection can reduce patient discomfort. The treatment area will then be injected in various locations for even coverage. Depending on the size, as little as 3-6cc may be injected whereas a larger area such as the stomach may receive 40-60cc. Once injection is complete, most patients are able to resume all normal activities. For optimal results, 4-10 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart will be needed.

A consultation is required to determine if this treatment is right for you.
