Lipo Dissolve Treatments in San Francisco at Epi Center MedSpa

Easy to perform and much less painful than liposuction or tummy tucks, Lipodissolve has swept the nation, and for good reason...

Fat-dissolving treatments should not be regarded as new miracle drugs for weight reduction. However, in cases where fat deposits cannot easily be removed by diet or exercise, these treatments can help the natural metabolic process during which fat is melted away and then eliminated from the body. This is achieved by a medication being injected directly into the area of concern. It’s called Lipodissolve.

What is Lipodissolve?

Lipo dissolve is a non-surgical method of body contouring and an alternative to minor liposculpture. It is the first, clinically proven, non-surgical therapy for melting away small-to-medium fat deposits on the face, neck and body. It offers remarkable body-sculpting results in as little as a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on the extent of the required treatment.

Lipodissolve originated in Europe and was developed further in the U.S. and Latin America. Injections are based on a mixture of standard medications, including vitamins, enzymes and phosphatidylcholine, a natural substance derived from soy. Medication is administered directly into the fat to initiate the breakdown of fat accumulation.

The main component of Lipo dissolve is phosphatidylcholine, which is a natural compound produced from the soya bean. The body uses the same substance in a number of chemical pathways, including fat metabolism. Lipodissolve has been scientifically proven to break down fat cell walls. The fat is dissolved into liquid and eliminated from the body through natural means.

What do LipoDissolve treatments involve?

Prior to treatment, you will have the lipo dissolve procedure plan explained, which will include where the injections will be made as well as how many injections you will need before the treatment commences.

To ensure a smooth reduction of the unwanted fat deposit, it is important to achieve the necessary concentration of phosphatidylcholine in every part of the treated area. This requires a specific multi-injection technique. At the time of consultation, the required dosage per area will be calculated. The amounts of phosphatidylcholine injected into one fat deposit will range according to your individual needs.

The Lipodissolve procedure takes between 15 and 30 minutes and depends on how many areas you are having treated per session. The number of required Lipo Dissolve treatments differs from person to person, depending upon body region and body size. As a rule, two to four treatments in intervals of six to eight weeks apart are necessary to successfully complete the treatment and produce the best results.

The effect of the LipoDissolve treatment session becomes apparent roughly in six to eight weeks as the active ingredients work on breaking down the fat cells in the injected area. You can resume normal activity and there are no special requirements after this procedure. You may continue to experience some mild discomfort and swelling during this time, but such feelings are normal for just one to three days.

Who are the best candidates for LipoDissolve treatment?

Both women and men who have pockets or areas of stubborn fat that is concentrated. It is particularly beneficial in areas such as the double chin, abdomen, pecks, "love handles," thighs and legs.

Treatment is not recommended for minors or children, pregnant women, nursing mothers, diabetics with vascular concerns or who are taking insulin injections, persons with autoimmune diseases, people who have liver disease, persons who are severely obese or anyone with an acute or chronic infection.

What are the benefits of Lipo Dissolve?

  • Mild, non-surgical procedure that reduces pockets of fat of the face and body without dramatic surgery.
  • Unlike Liposuction, where uneven “dents” can occur in the areas where fat has been removed, new or future weight gain after Lipodissolve treatment is accumulated evenly.
  • Extremely safe and effective.
  • No downtime. Immediately resume normal activity.
  • Phosphatidylcholine gives excellent results on cellulite and smoothes the "orange peel" effect.
  • Results remain permanent unless there is new weight gain.
Are there any possible side effects with Lipo Dissolve?

Fortunately, significant complications from Lipodissolve are infrequent. There is only slight discomfort and swelling which will subside after one to three days. You can help to minimize such symptoms by using ice packs. With very few risks or side effects, and an over 95 percent success rate, Lipo Dissolve treatment has proven to be very extremely effective. Over dosage or intoxications are not known to occur.
