Lipodissolve Injections

Reduction of fat deposits by injection therapy ( flab jab)  

Lipodissolve is an exciting breakthrough in treating stubborn areas of fat in the body without surgery. The areas which can be treated includes belly, buttocks ,hips, thighs, love handles, dorsal bulges, upper arms, double chin, jowls, cheeks, and cellulite.

Simply melting fat away by means of an injection – a fascinating idea turned into reality by Dr. Rittes, a South-American dermatologist. In 1995, she developed a procedure during which the substance phosphatidylcholine (PPT) is directly injected into undesired fat deposits. The active substance is a natural compound produced from soya bean. The body uses the same substance in a number of chemical pathways, particularly in the field of fat metabolism.

Dr. Hasengschwandtner of Austria developed this therapy further. He has now carried out some thousands of treatments in this field. Thanks to his further development work, more rapid and effective treatment results have been produced compared with a few years ago.

An exciting breakthrough for body contouring

Lipodissolve injections should not be regarded as a new miracle drug for weight reduction. However for fat deposits, which cannot be removed by diet or exercise, lipodissolve injections are effective. They do this by helping the natural metabolic process during which fat is melted away and then eliminated from the body. The medication is directly injected into the area concerned. Areas suitable for treatment are:

LipodissolveFace

  • tear sacs (lower eyelid)
  • double chin
  • jowls
  • cheeks

Body

  • buttocks / upper leg adiposity
  • inner thigh
  • lower buttocks / transition to thigh
  • love handles (particularly in men)
  • hips
  • upper and lower belly
  • fat bulges at shoulder-arm-joints
  • upper arm
  • knees
  • dorsal areas

Treatment of cellulite

  • thighs

Lipoma (fatty lumps)

The number of treatments differs from person to person, depending upon body region and body size. As a rule, 2 – 4 treatments at intervals of 6 –8 weeks are necessary to successfully complete the treatment. Research has shown that more than 80% of the patients are very satisfied with the results after 2 – 3 treatments.

Risks & Side effects

The medication used for lipodissolve injections is a natural chemical, which acts in the body to protect the liver, and has also been used by doctors for many years to prevent fat embolism in the blood. Although a relatively new treatment, many thousands of treatment courses all over the world have now been completed, and no serious side effects have been observed up to now. Nevertheless, it is considered essential that medical experts trained in this field should only carry out the therapy. In order to obtain successful results, knowledge of the anatomical distribution of fat deposits in the body, the correct injection technique and the right dosage for the treatment are of the utmost importance. Doctors affiliated to NETWORK-Lipolysis including Dr Jilani who was among the first doctors in the UK to train in lipodissolve, have all been trained in these areas.

Although there have been delays in the manufacturers achieving full approval for these treatments for cosmetic indications, they have been widely used without significant problems. In the case of Lipostabil health risks have not been observed by either Dr. Rittes or by Dr. Hasengschwandtner. The active substance itself and its elimination from the body via metabolism have been fully investigated and documented, and have revealed no serious problems.

It should be noted that almost every patient shows some temporary side effects after treatment including redness, itching, swelling and muscular aching and in some cases haematoma (bruising). After a few days, however, any discomfort at the treated region will disappear.
