Mesotherapy are injections composed of a mixture of different pharmaceutical agents including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other medications.

Lipo dissolve uses a pharmaceutical compound called phosphatidylcholine deoxycholate (PPC) administered through a series of micro-injections to permanently dissolve fat.

Mesotherapy injections are placeded at the hypodermic level (barely underneath the skin). 

Lipo dissolve injections are placed in the central layer of subcutaneous fat.

The fat cells absorb the Phosphatidylcholine and become slightly inflamed.

Then they harden. The hardened fat cells break down within a few weeks resulting in measurable inch loss.

The treatments are administered at least two weeks apart to allow your body respond to it.

Depending on your body type and physiology and responce rate, we may recommend spacing your treatments further apart.

Each person's body is different.

Most people fall into a four to six treatment range. Others require as many as nine. 

We will be happy to design a customize a program for you at the time of your private consultation.

There may be limited localized discomfort upon injection, and a slight burning sensation immediately following the treatment.

Swelling will occur in the treated area, and soreness and inflammation will be experienced for several days after treatment.  It means that medications work.

In some cases, localized bruising may occur.

Phosphatidylcholine dioxycholate is not FDA approved. It is a combination of several ingredients prepared for each patient by a state licensed compounding pharmacy.

The ingredients have been used for a variety of medical purposes in the US and around the world.

Both patients and physicians continue to be pleased with the results when Lipodissolve is appropriately used.

At the time of birth each person has a certain number of fat cells and after adolescence they will not develop any more (some medical conditions and morbid obesity are exceptions).

Lipo dissolve will dissolve fat permanently in the areas of treatment.  It will leave only a thin layer of fat cells at the surface.

If an individual gains weight, the fat cells in the untreated areas will naturally get larger.

Therefore, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by watching diet and maintaining regular exercising not only to avoid excess weight gain but also for your overall health.

Normally, patients can resume their routine schedule immediately after injections. Some people experience swelling, tenderness or minimal bruising which may require them to rest a little bit after their treatment.

The minimal disruption of normal activity is the reason that most patients find this treatment so attractive.

Lipo dissolve is not designed for weight loss. While the procedure will dissolve fat in main trouble areas, the overall amount of weight lost is not significant.

For those patients who want or need to lose weight, we suggest losing it before lipo dissolve procedure.

Lipo dissolve is a gradual dissolution of fat. Your friends will not necessarily know you had something done.
