Lipo Dissolve
Lipo dissolve is a variation of weight reduction. It is also known as mesotherapy, lipolysis or lipostabil. It uses different types of chemicals and technological advances to make the undesirable fat melt away. Lipo dissolve is touted as an alternative to the more traditional liposuction. This is a non-surgical approach. It involves injecting various medications into the target region to melt or dissolve away the fat. Popular regions for using lipo dissolve are abdomen, hips and waist. The fat dissolvers in a lipolysis injection include phosphatidylcholine (PPC) - a soybean extract, and sodium deoxycholate – a bile derivative. In addition, the injections may contain multivitamins, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. This treatment has yet to receive approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States. The individual must realize it requires more than a single visit to the administering physician to achieve the maximum desirable effect.
