Q: Is Lipodissolve the same as Mesotherapy?
A: No. Lipodissolve is injected into the subcutaneous tissue (fat) using only PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (PPC). Mesotherapy can make use of over 200 different compounds. These are injected into the skin, not the fat.
Q: Is it safe?
A: Yes. In over 18,000 treatments no unexpected side effects were noted.
Q: What are the expected side effects?
A: Discomfort, swelling, itching, bruising, and sensitivity-to-touch can occur but are well tolerated and last usually less than one week.
Q: Does the treatment hurt?
A: The area is ’numbed‘ first with a topical anesthetic cream. Most patients admit to only slight discomfort and willingly return for further treatments.
Q: How many treatments are needed?
A: Two to four treatments may be required. The amount of fat to be dissolved determines the number of treatments needed.
Q: Who is a good candidate?
A: Healthy people age 18-75 who have fat deposits that persist despite diet and exercise.
Q: Will everyone benefit?
A: Overwhelmingly the majority of patients treated will respond, however 2-3% may not.
