Lipodissolve
For non-surgical body sculpting of stubborn love handles and more...


Benefit:
Lipodissolve is an innovative application of Mesotherapy that specifically targets and dissolves localized fat and cellulite deposits.

How it works:
The treatment slowly dissolves the deposits with injections of a fat-dissolving substance called Phospatidylcholine, a natural substance derived from soy bean lecithin. Phosphatidylcholine makes up 40% of our cell membranes, and is found throughout our bodies. The body naturally eliminates the residue after a Lipodissolve session over the following three to four weeks.

Mesotherapy is the practice of using micro-injections of conventional or homeopathic medication and/or vitamins into the "mesoderm," or middle layer of skin, to deliver healing or corrective treatment to a specific area of the body. The technique was pioneered in France by Dr. Michel Pistor and has been performed there since 1952. The French Academy of Medicine gave Mesotherapy formal recognition in 1987 and it is taught in French medical schools. France currently has more than 15,000 physicians practicing Mesotherapy. The procedure has now spread throughout Europe as well as South & North America.

Mesotherapy has been used in the treatment of acne, arthritis and joint problems, and sports injuries, as well as for cosmetic purposes, such as reducing cellulite and fat. While each Mesotherapy treatment may involve hundreds of small injections, the treatment sessions typically take only minutes to complete.


   
Best Suited For: Length of Treatment: How it Feels:
The areas that respond best to Lipodissolve treatment - in those who are not excessively overweight -- are certain stubborn fat deposits that resist further reduction after diet and exercise. These include the double chins, the abdomen, love handles, backs of arms, thigh saddlebags, knees, and wings (the area on the back, just beside the armpits).
A few minutes to a half an hour depending upon the size of the area treated.
May experience slight tingling during treatment. Topical anaesthesia can be used for more sensitive treatment areas.
     
Downtime: Frequency Required:  
After-effects may include redness or swelling, and disappear in a short time. Most people return to regular activity right away. On average, one to four treatments, with 14 to 21 day intervals between them, are required to achieve the desired results.
