WHAT IS LIPODISSOLVE?

Lipodissolve is a non-surgical injection procedure that reduces fat deposits and cellulite.  It is also known as Mesotherapy. 

Lipodissolve is comprised of a combination of phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and deoxycholate (DC), which are naturally occurring components in the body, injected into those stubborn pockets of fat. The injections change the fat from a solid to a liquid, which is then expelled from the body naturally via the body's waste and lymphatic system. ​

FACTS ABOUT FAT

  • The number of fat cells you have in your body is determined during childhood and adolescence. 

  • Once the number of fat cells is set, it will remain constant regardless of weight gain or loss.

  • Liposuction and Lipodissolve destroy the targeted fat cells, and they are permanently removed from the body.

  • As you gain weight, remaining fat cells enlarge.

  • Fat cells can grow up to 10 times in size to store extra fat. 

  • As you lose weight, remaining fat cells shrink but they don't disappear.

  • A normal person can have between 25 and 35 billion fat cells in their body. 

  • Because the number of fat cells a person has is determined in childhood and adolescence, children and young adults should maintain healthy lifestyles, including a healthy diet, appropriate caloric intake, and exercise, preventing excessive weight gain, to limit the number of fat cells developed.
