When injected directly into fat deposits, Lipo Dissolve helps breakdown and emulsify the fat deposits. It uses the body's own natural methods of excreting fat to permanently reduce fat deposits. Lipo Dissolve or phosphatidylcholine has two ends which act like the ends of a magnet. One end is attracted to water, and the other end is attracted to fat. After injection, phosphatidylcholine surrounds the fat cell, and because of this property, it allows the fat cells to become emulsified and soluble in the circulation where it is then removed permanently by the liver, bowels, and kidneys.

It is especially effective for the treatment of problem areas that may not be eliminated with diet and exercise alone. We use only the highest quality phosphatidylcholine. It is made in a sterile laboratory in a nitrogen chamber. This ensures that the product has maximal stability.

It has been used for reducing fat deposits for about 10 years now, but has been used for other medical purposes for much longer. It has been used intravenously to dissolve atheromatous plaques in cardiac disease and to dissolve fat embolizims. Orally, it has been used as a liver protective agent.

What Areas Can Be Treated? 

The most common areas that are treated are; abdominal bulges, love handles, back fat, saddle bags, thighs (inner and outer), side of buttocks, lower buttocks, arms, and double chins, cheeks and jowels. In men, it can be used to reduce fat, as long as there are no medical problems causing the accumulation of glandular tissue in this area e.g. from abnormal hormonal disturbances. The female breast cannot be treated as it is mainly glandualr tissue. It can also be injected in lipomas to dissolve them non surgically. Injected more superficially, lipo dissolve can also remove cellulite - the lumpy, dimpled, orange peel appearance of skin that usually affects buttocks and legs.

What does Treatment with Lipo Dissolve Involve?

Local anaesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area for approximately oneto two hours under Glad-wrap. This can be done in the clinic, or at home if you wish to save time. We also advise you to take Arnica prior to your procedue. (Arnica is a naturopathic medication that helps reduce swelling and bruising).

Before your treatment, you will be measured and photographed (these photos are confidential and are so you are able to see the changes after your treatment). The treatment area is then systematically injected with Lipo Dissolve through a fine needle after cleansing the area with chlorhexidine and alcohol (disinfectant). There are multiple injections in each area, and injections are spaced approximatelly 1.5cm apart.
