Lipo-Dissolve (fat dissolving mesotherapy injection)

Lipo-dissolve or fat-dissolving injections can be a satisfying way to reduce unwanted fat deposits in some patients. Like all medications, it works better in some people than others.

This patient underwent one session of lipo-dissolve, resulting in a noticeable reduction in the double chin.

The video below demonstrate lipo-dissove: fat dissolving mesotherapy. It is most effective in smaller fat deposits such as:

  • double chin and chubby cheeks.
  • upper arms
  • armpit
  • smaller abdominal deposits
  • lovehandles
  • knee pad pads

However, it is not a solution to replace liposuction or large volume weight loss.

This lady presented with a complaint about a fat bulge in the back of her arm, and she had difficulty wearing any short-sleeved dresses or shirts. She had one injection of lipo-dissolve. She had a good outcome. Some people get very good results after one session, but generally speaking, most people need 2-3 sessions.

FAQ – Lipo-dissolve mesotherapy

Some medications are known to shrink and destroy the fat cells. PPC (phosphatidylcholine) and deoxycholate (DC) are two of the well-known ingredients. When this mixture is injected into the fat deposit, and over the next 4-6 weeks fat from these injected areas will melt. The way individuals respond to the lipo-dissolve varies – some will have better result than others.

Lipo-dissolve usually requires multiple treatment, but it is popular in our clinic as it is non surgical and there is no downtime.

What are Fat dissolving injections ?

Lipo-Dissolve is a technical term used to describe “dissolve the fat.” It is also called fat melt or fat dissolving injections. It is a non-surgical procedure where active fat dissolving ingredients are injected directly into the area of undesired fat deposit, and they have shown to dissolve the fat.

How does it work ?

Fat cells are spherical cells with their fatty content contained in a membrane – just like a water balloon. Lipid is the main content of the cell membrane and when it touches the lipodissolve ingredients, it bursts – like popping a water balloon. The content of the fat cell is then absorbed by the body. It is then transported to the liver where it is excreted from the body through the bowel.

Is it right for me?

We do not recommend lipo-dissolve for a large bulge of fat as for these individuals the surgery is the best way. We have a technology called Vaser-Liposculpture. It is one of the best liposculpting machine in the world. However, not everybody likes the idea of undergoing invasive procedures and not everybody has a lot of fat that requires removal using an invasive procedure.

So, if your expectations are realistic and you don’t have any contraindications, then you may benefit from Fat-Dissolve. However, outcomes vary individually.

Who can’t have them?

PPC & DC are both derived from natural soya bean. For this reason, if you have an allergy to soya beans, you can not have this injection. If you have bleeding tendencies, insulin-dependent diabetes, or are pregnant, you can not have this treatment.

What are the popular treatment areas?

  • Face slimming (chubby cheek)
  • Double Chin
  • Stomach
  • Love handle
  • Sides (love handle) and back
  • Arms
  • Knee

Our Fat-Dissolve mesotherapy ingredients include:

Phosphatidyl Choline (PPC) & Deoxycholate (DC) – these are primarily derived from natural soya bean.

Is it a new treatment?

Fat-Dissolve is not a new treatment. It has been around for over 50 years and there are many clinics all around the world that perform lipo-dissolve mesotherapy.

One of the main active ingredients PPC was first developed by a German doctor to treat a life threatening condition called “Fat embolism”. Fat embolism is a condition where a fat globule gets inside the blood vessel following a trauma and it then flows within the blood vessel and gets stuck in the heart. This causes a heart attack. Phosphatidyl Choline when injected into the vein, dissolves the fat globules and treats heart attack.

Lipo-dissolve in Cosmetic Medicine

Lipodissolve was popularised by Dr Franz from Sweden. He came to Australia to teach the Australian doctors how to perform Lipodissolve in 2006. Dr Kim was one of the first doctors to attend the Lipo-dissolve workshop in Sydney by Dr Franz. We have been performing Lipodissolve for 15 years.

What happens during Fat-Dissolve?

Fat-Dissolve is not a weight reduction treatment. It only works on localised fat deposits.
> The area of the undesirable fat deposit is marked.
> The fat under the skin of the marked area is then injected with Fat-Dissolve.
> Several injections are given per area to enable Fat-Dissolve to evenly spread within the localised fat deposit.
The whole procedure takes about 5 minutes.

Does it hurt?

Injection itself is rarely painful and it is well tolerated. Numbing cream is not required before the injection.

What can you expect after the Fat-Dissolve?

  • Swelling which lasts 1-2 days. In some patients they may last longer.
  • Bruising (from the injection) lasting up to 1 week. In some areas such as knees and arms, they can last considerably longer.
  • There is no restriction on daily life.
  • Make up can be applied immediately after the injection.
  • Tenderness of the injected site. 

When can I see the result?

After each injection, it takes approximately 4-6 weeks to see the result. We will schedule you for the second consult and injection at an interval of 6 weeks or longer. 
Each injection can give you about 20% of final reduction.
So it is important to have 2-4 sessions of injections to obtain the desired fat reduction and body shape.

Will the fat return after Fat-Dissolve treatment?

The fat will return if you gain more weight in the future. If your weight stays same, then it is likely that the slimmed appearance will stay for a long time.
If they do return you have a choice of re-doing Lipo-dissolve.

Is Lipo-Dissolve safe?

The complications that have been noted are:

  • Prolonged swelling
  • Prolonged bruising
  • Prolonged redness
  • Prolonged tenderness at the injection site
  • Allergic reaction
  • Cystic fluid collection and fat necrosis.

What is the cost?

Our fee is $750 for one area. If you require multiple areas, the cost will be multiplied accordingly.
