Sometimes, no matter how much you exercise, certain pockets of fat just won't budge. Our Fat Dissolving Injections (Lipodissolve) use a naturally occurring acid to permanently break down fat cells, which your body then naturally eliminates.
Common Treatment Areas
This treatment is designed for contouring stubborn areas, not for weight loss. It is perfect for:
Lipodissolve vs. Liposuction
Why choose injections over surgery?
| Feature | Fat Dissolving Injections | Surgical Liposuction |
|---|---|---|
| Downtime | Minimal (Return to work next day) | Weeks of recovery |
| Scarring | None (Needle entry only) | Possible incision scars |
| Anesthesia | Topical Numbing Cream | General Anesthesia |
| Result Type | Gradual, natural reduction | Sudden, dramatic change |
What to Expect
The Treatment
We use a fine needle to inject the solution directly into the fat layer. The active ingredient (Deoxycholic Acid) disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing it to break down. The appointment takes about 30 minutes.
Recovery & "The Swell"
It is normal to experience swelling, redness, and a "jelly-like" feeling in the treated area for 3-5 days. This swelling is actually a good sign—it means the solution is working to break down the fat.
Results
Fat reduction is permanent (as long as you maintain a stable weight). Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Common Questions
Does it hurt?
Discomfort is minimal. We apply a strong numbing cream beforehand, and the solution often contains lidocaine to numb the area from the inside as we inject.
Is it permanent?
Yes. Once the fat cells are destroyed and metabolized by your body, they do not regenerate.
Contour your body, safely.
