Information about Lipodisslove

How does LipoDissolve work?

     The result is selective fat lyses by breaking the adipocyte (fat cell) membranes with no damage to neighboring structures like skin, blood vessels, and peripheral nerves. The fat clearance is performed by the physiological pathways, i.e. the lymphatic, venous and immune systems. The triglycerides from the broken cells are released into the interstitial fluid where they are gradually transported through the lymphatic or venous system to the liver. In the liver they are utilized through the physiologic metabolic pathways in a process lasting between several hours to days. This is all assisted by the ketosis of diet, exercise and a weight loss program.

     The capacity of the body to carry away triglyceride molecules is much larger than the amount of triglycerides that are liberated as a result of the treatment. The broken-cells' debris is cleared by the normal inflammatory response, i.e., phagocytosis. These breakdown products are transferred safely through the blood or lymphatics and utilized in physiological pathways and/or carried away in urine or fecal elimination.

     Lipodissolve is the trade name given to a process called injection lipolysis - a term doctors use for getting rid of body fat by injecting a chemical under the skin and around the fat cells.

When will I see results?

     Results are usually seen six to twelve weeks after a series of injections, and the troubled spot is reduced. Average injection sessions around the country are between three and nine.

Who is the best candidate for LipoDissolve?

     Lipodissolve is designed to remove small, stubborn pockets of fat that refuse to disappear with exercise and diet. It's not a cure for obesity. People with a high body mass index are often not candidates for the procedure. We will not perform the procedure on patients with Insulin-Dependent Diabetes, patients on blood thinners or anti-coagulants, and patients with active serious skin infections, etc.. If you are not 100% healthy then do not do the procedure, that just makes good common sense.
