LIPODISSOLVE and MESOTHERAPY to Get Rid of Unwanted Fat and Cellulite

What is Lipodissolve?
Lipodissolve is the use of several micro-injections to combat a variety of localized fat deposits and cellulite. It is ideal for areas on the body that do not respond to diet and exercise, like the abdomen, hips, “love handles,” thighs, “saddle bags,” “bra strap area,” and the back. It can also be used for the fat pads under the eyes and the jaw and “double chins.” For small to medium fat deposits, it can replace surgery!

Sounds Great but Does It Really Work?
Lipodissolve has been called “the most promising discovery in aesthetic medicine since Botox®” by the American Society of Non-Surgical Aesthetics. It is often referred to as “the non-surgical lipoplasty” or “lipo in a needle.” It has been used successfully in the US for cosmetic purposes since 2002.

Is Lipodissolve Safe?
The substance used in Lipodissolve is derived from lecithin, a nutritional substance found in both plants (soy) and animals (egg yolks). Lipodissolve treatments use the plant lecithin derivative. This substance (PPC) has been used in the US for more than 50 years for cardiac emergencies. It has been injected intravenously to “dissolve” the fatty deposits in blood vessels. Over fifty years of clinical data have shown no known damaging effects on other organs. Moreover, many clinical studies were published in 2005 in the US and Europe on the use of the substance to treat subcutaneous fat deposits and additional reports are expected to be published, showing efficacy and safety. More than 18,000 plus Lipodissolve procedures have been completed worldwide with no reports of adverse reactions.

Will I Lose Weight?
Lipodissolve is not a weight loss therapy and it is not intended for large volumes of fat. You will lose subcutaneous fat deposits that are small to moderate in size. You will lose inches, rather than pounds. People may tell you that it looks like you are losing weight.

How does Lipodissolve work?
The substance used in Lipodissolve works by lysing (breaking) the fat cells. The fat cells that are broken necrose (die). The fat within the lysed fat cells escapes into your tissues. Your body will react with a big inflammatory response due to the action of Lipodissolve. Your body senses this free fat that has escaped from the fat cell as an invader and starts a process by which it will pick up that fat and excrete it. Most of the fat is excreted through the digestive system, though some people also experience an increase in sweating.

What can I expect from Lipodissolve?
When you have your Lipodissolve procedure, we will first take your vital signs and review your medical history. We will take photos and measurements for your chart so we can track your progress. We will prep the area with antiseptic solution. You will receive several micro-injections of the Lipodissolve in the treated area. These injections are not painful; most patients rate them a 2 or 3 on a scale of 10. If you desire, we can apply a topical anesthetic on the area prior to your injections, but you would need to come for your appointment about 45 minutes early so the anesthetic has time to work. Soon after the injections (even before you leave Le Salon di Bellezza) you will start to feel the local inflammatory response - stinging, itching, tenderness, swelling, redness, mild bruising – in the treated area. These symptoms will last between one and five days. We will see you to evaluate you and treat you again (if needed) in 4 to 6 weeks.

How many Lipodissolve treatments will I need?
Most patients obtain their desired results with 1 to 4 Lipodissolve treatments. Though we will provide our medical opinion, we expect the patient to decide when he/she has reached that point; for example, some patients want to have a “6 pack” while others just want to look better in their clothes.

WHAT IS MESOTHERAPY?
Mesotherapy was formulated in France and has been used there since 1952. In the US, it’s been used since 1999. Mesotherapy is a series of superficial microinjections of a mixture of FDA approved medications, vitamins and minerals. These injections penetrate your mesoderm, the layer of fat and connective tissue under your skin. This mixture differs depending on the condition of the area being treated and is formulated specifically for
YOUR needs.

Mesotherapy can treat an array of conditions.
Mesotherapy is a cutting-edge medical technique to treat:

• Cellulite
• Unwanted fat
• Wrinkles and aging skin
• Excess skin or fat on the jaw/neck
• Aged hands

How does Mesotherapy work?

A. In General
The micro-injections of FDA approved medications, vitamins and minerals penetrate the mesoderm, or middle layer of skin, and act as a “medicinal bullet” delivered to a specific target in the body. The skin (mesoderm) acts as an efficient time-released delivery system. Mesotherapy works by stimulating the body to heal itself in the targeted areas.
B. For Fat or Spot Reduction
The formula of medications used in Mesotherapy melts the fat beneath the skin and from deeper fat cells. After the fat is dissolved, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and carried away and removed from the body through the kidneys. Mesotherapy can be used to eliminate unwanted stubborn fat in any area, like the abdomen, hips, “love handles,” “saddle bags,” and the “bra strap area.” It can also be used for double chins. For desired results, about 10 treatment sessions are required, spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart. The patient can expect NO downtime or disruptions in his or her daily life.
C. To Get Rid of Cellulite
Mesotherapy can be used to rid the body of cellulite from the legs and the buttocks. Mesotherapy can rid these “orange peel” like skin areas by repairing tissue, shrinking the fat cells and increasing circulation. After completion of the treatments, the patient can expect to see a result of a smoother even-toned appearance. Generally, patients must commit to 10-15 weekly treatments to achieve desired results.
D. For Skin Rejuvenation
The Mesotherapeutic process known as Mesolift involves microinjections into the face and neck area to activate the cells metabolically and stimulate the natural collagen and elastin producing process. This treatment not only reduces the appearance of existing wrinkles, but also helps prevent them from forming. Some patients start in their 30’s or 40’s, while others start in their 60’s or 70’s. We recommend about 4 to 6 treatments on the face and neck at 1-2 weeks apart. To maintain the skin’s youthful appearance, we recommend follow-up treatments every 3 to 4 weeks.

What can I expect following Mesotherapy?
The patient may experience some bruising and slight discomfort. We recommend that you drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to flush out the breakdown products of the tissue. There is NO downtime or disruption in daily living.
