Understanding Fat Dissolving Injections

Fat-dissolving injections, specifically Lipodissolve, are an advanced, nonsurgical option for targeting and eliminating stubborn fat deposits. Utilizing a blend of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholic acid (DC), this treatment effectively breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally cleared by the body. It's important to note that Lipodissolve is not FDA-cleared. Deoxycholic acid, a component of human bile acid, disrupts fat cell membranes, causing cell death. Phosphatidylcholine, an essential phospholipid, emulsifies fat into nanosized particles, facilitating absorption and transportation. Together, they burst and break down fat cells, making them easier for the body to process.

In addition to fat dissolution, Lipodissolve stimulates collagen production in the treated area, helping to tighten tissues and improve skin laxity. This scientifically backed method targets areas resistant to diet and exercise, providing a non-surgical alternative for body contouring and enhanced confidence.

Our Process

Upon arrival at Limelight Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Tyler captures photos to document your progress and refine future treatments. The skin is cleansed and carefully marked for injection.

For the injections, Dr. Tyler may choose between a sharp needle or cannula, depending on the treatment area. Initially, a cannula is often used for even distribution of the solution. In follow-up sessions, a needle may be employed to target specific areas still exhibiting fullness due to remaining fat. This approach ensures precise and effective fat dissolution.

Results are most often seen after 2 to 4 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, allowing the body time to adapt and process the dissolved fat.

Pre & Post Treatment Care

Avoid RetinA, retinoids, harsh scrubs, and exfoliating products two days before and after the procedure. Men should shave the treatment area one day prior. Avoid creams, lotions, or makeup on the treatment areas before your appointment. Schedule your appointment 2-4 weeks ahead of any special event to accommodate potential bruising and swelling. Avoid blood-thinning medications 3-4 days prior and 1-2 days post-treatment.

Post-treatment, avoid extreme heat, alcohol, sodium, and wearing tight clothing for three days. Refrain from strenuous exercise and sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling. Increase your water intake and use arnica gel for soothing relief. If you experience discomfort, acetaminophen may be taken. It is also common to notice some numbness around the treated area about 48 hours after the procedure.
