What Is Lipodissolve and How Does It Work?
Looking for a non-invasive way to reduce unwanted body fat and sculpt the ultimate physique? Then, it’s time to discover Lipodissolve! These cosmetic injections allow you to target localized fatty deposits that are hard to conquer with diet and exercise alone. Ready to learn more? Join us for a guide to Lipodissolve to learn what it is and how it can help you transform your appearance.
What Is Lipodissolve?
Lipodissolve is a specially formulated compound containing multiple pharmaceutical-grade substances that break down fat cells. In other words, it stimulates the process of lipolysis. Here’s a closer look at how it works:
What does Lipodissolve target?
As with other body sculpting treatments like liposuction, Lipodissolve is not a weight loss solution. Instead, it’s used to eliminate small amounts of fat to contour specific body parts.
You can use this injection to target excess fat around your abdomen, shape your thighs, and tighten up jiggly arms. It can also help you define your jaw and minimize the appearance of a double chin.
Who’s a good candidate for Lipodissolve?
Before undergoing this treatment, you should be close to your ideal body weight and be in good overall health. Remember that Lipodissolve is best for localized areas of fatty tissue, not overall weight loss. Patients with other medical conditions may experience more severe side effects and have a higher risk of complications.
What results can you expect from Lipodissolve?
Lipodissolve can help you contour your physique and sculpt certain areas to help you achieve your ideal body shape. It may even improve the appearance of cellulite!
How does Lipodissolve work?
If it sounds too good to be true, we’re here to tell you that the magic is real! Here’s a closer look at how Lipodissolve offers a non-surgical approach to body contouring:
Injection procedure
Before your Lipodissolve procedure, you can expect to meet with your provider to discuss your medical history, treatment goals, and any allergies you have. They might also take blood work to analyze in the lab before the procedure.
Then, they’ll take a few “before” pictures and use an ultrasound device to analyze the fat distribution in the treatment area and mark injection sites.
After placing a few strategic injections, they will likely ice the area to minimize inflammation. You’ll need to take it easy and treat the injection site with care in the days after treatment. About 24 hours after the procedure, begin incorporating gentle exercise into your routine. Slowly work your way up to more strenuous physical activity.
To maximize results, consider scheduling the next injection about four weeks after your initial treatment. It’s important to remember that the results of Lipodissolve may not be permanent. Lifestyle changes, pregnancy, and hormonal fluctuations can cause new fat cells to form in the treatment area.
Fat cell breakdown
The chemical solution used in Lipodissolve aids in dissolving and eliminating fat cells. After exposure, these unwanted fatty deposits become inflamed, harden, and break down over several weeks.
Fat removal
Once the fat cells begin to break down, your body will flush them out through your waste system. It’s essential to drink plenty of water in the weeks after treatment to facilitate this process.
Cellulite treatment
While liposuction can physically remove unwanted body fat, it can’t address cellulite. However, Lipodissolve can eliminate fatty tissue and improve the appearance of cellulite without the downtime and safety concerns associated with invasive surgical lipo procedures.
What are the side effects of Lipodissolve?
Lipodissolve is not FDA-approved, but it’s very similar to injections like Kybella that have received the official stamp of approval. Most side effects are mild and resolve within a week of treatment. Here are some reactions to watch out for:
Mild pain or itching
While some people experience a stinging sensation in the treatment area after Lipodissolve, others report tenderness or itchy skin. Avoid touching the injection site, and be sure to wash with an antibacterial soap during the early stages of recovery.
Swelling and bruising
Swelling and bruising are also common after Lipodissolve. Remember, this procedure creates controlled inflammation within your fat deposits, so some swelling, redness, and irritation are expected.
Nodules
In some cases, small nodules can form beneath the skin after Lipodissolve. This may happen because of fluid accumulation, tissue damage, or rare allergic reactions. A professional injection specialist will take certain precautions against this response.
