I happened upon this newer fat-dissolving technique somehow, I’m not even sure how, but I know I was surfing the net and voila this weird procedure was in front of me. I say weird, but really Lipodissolve, as it is called, is actually very similar to a procedure called messotherapy. Messotherapy is still a somewhat mysterious procedure to me, because it is clear that some substance is injected subcutaneously which dissolves or gets rid of fat, but it is never really disclosed exact what is contained in the formula, which is supposedly all natural and homeopathic.The Lipodissolve procedure is the same, except it says that is is fundamentally different because is actually dissolves the fat below the surface of the skin, but it is basically a series of injections into fatty areas of the body, below the surface. It supposedly works by “bursting” the fat cells, destroying them, and then flushing them through the liver.
Sounds a little strange, and possibly even unsafe, but this procedure has supposedly been performed enough and proven safe enough to be allowed to stay in practice. I guess the Lipossolve patients have different reaction times, so some may need less return visits and injections than others, while some may see results in as little as two weeks.
I did have the opportunity to look at some before and after pictures of patients who had the Lipodissolve procedure done, and while some were impressive, I could barely tell between the before and afters on some of them. Also, it was not easy to find pricing on the Lipodissolve procedure, nor any solid data on how it really works other than the formula (which is supposedly homeopathic) “bursts” the fat cells and destroys them.
It did say the average fat loss in patients who have Lipodissolve procedures and multiple visits was about one inch. Not bad, not bad, however I’d like to see a little more evidence on how it works. Oh, it also seemed to somewhat reduce cellulite as well in some of the pictures I saw, but that is probably because if it is dissolving fat cells, there is less puckering and strain against the skin, resulting in a reduction in cellulite naturally – at least the appearance of it. It’s not marketed as a cellulite treatment, but it did look like it helped a little with it.
