LipoDissolve™ Treatment
Conveniently located to serve New York City
LipoDissolve™ is a non-surgical treatment that dissolves localized fat deposits which are not responsive to diet and exercise. It is not a weight loss treatment, but a body shaping treatment. Clinically, LipoDissolve™ has been found to be safe and effective with virtually no downtime. This treatment is quite popular in Europe, and it is often referred to as the non-surgical liposuction or the liposuction alternative. It can give effective body fat reduction without the risk of surgery. The LipoDissolve™ treatments use a combination of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid, which are natural occurring substances in our body. Phosphatidylcholine is also known as lecithin, which can be harvested soybeans.
LipoDissolve™ is commonly used to treat double chins, jowls, upper arms, bra rolls, abdomen, inner thighs, outer thighs, hips, love handles, knees, cellulite reduction, and male breast, gynecomastia. This treatment does not completely replace liposuction or SmartLipo™. LipoDissolve™ is ideal to treat focal areas for body liposculpting or facial liposculpting.
LipoDissolve™ treatments consist of a series of microinjections to the desired areas of fat deposition. It is a relative painless procedure. The treatments are usually spaced 2-4 weeks apart with most patients reaching their desired goal in 2-6 treatments. The fat is broken down, and it is natural eliminated by your body. LipoDissolve™ offers body contouring with fat reduction and skin tightening. The treatments are well tolerated by most people; some individuals may report a slight burning sensation, mild bruising, minor swelling, and minimal tenderness that may last 1-5 days.
LipoDissolve™ and mesotherapy are not the same therapy. Mesotherapy differs in the solution used, which is a mixture of vitamins, minerals, pharmaceuticals and homeopathic medicines that is injected into the mesoderm (skin). LipoDissolve™ is a standardized solution of known natural occurring chemical that is injected in to fatty tissue.

Lipodissolve FAQs
How does lipodissolve work?
Lipodissolve uses injectable compounds to break down localized fat cells. Your body then gradually processes and removes the treated fat.
Is lipodissolve painful?
Most patients report mild discomfort during injections. Temporary swelling or tenderness may occur after treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients need 2–4 sessions per area. The exact number depends on the thickness of the fat and your desired contour.
How long do lipodissolve results last?
The treated fat cells are permanently broken down and removed by your body. Results can last in the long term if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle.
How soon will I see results?
You may notice gradual changes within a few weeks. Full results often appear after completing your treatment series.
Can lipodissolve replace liposuction?
Lipodissolve is best for small, targeted areas. Liposuction may be more appropriate for larger fat volumes or more dramatic reshaping.
