LIPODISSOLVE: MESOTHERAPY FOR FAT REDUCTION

I exercise regularlyand eat a healthy diet but some of the fat in my body remains. Is there anything that can be done?

Lipodissolve is an innovative application of mesotherapy that specifi cally targets localized fat and cellulite deposits. A series of mico injections of medications into the skin can help contour unwanted fat deposits. One medication that is used is phosphatidylcholine, a natural substance derived from soybean lecithin. Phosphatidycholine makes up 40% of our cell membranes and is found throughout our bodies. The body naturally eliminates the residue after a lipodissolve session over the following 3 or 4 weeks. Side effects are bruising, discomfort or itching. Lipodissolve can help fatty deposits under the chin, the bra strap area, saddle bags, the lower abdomen and inner thighs. Cellulite can also be helped with these injections. Lipodissolve injections are suitable for people with localized fat deposits which cannot be reduced with diet and exercise. These injections do not result in weight loss, they can modify body contours. It is important to maintain a healthy active lifestyle as this procedure will not work if you are gaining weight.
