What Is Lipo Disolve All About

By Charles Donavon

It is interesting to note that around 90% of women in the U.S. suffer from some degree of cellulite. Cellulite is not something that just affects women that are overweight. It afffects women that are in great physical shape as well. There are several types of lotions and exercises that are designed to elminate this problem, but they generally have little to no affect on the problem. So what is a solution to all of this you are probably asking. Well that would be lipodisolve. It is a pretty new treatment option that is gaining ground on liposuction. The drug that is injected into the fatty area to break down the fat deposits is called phosphatidyclcholine. This drug is a natural product of the soy bean.

Most women who have tried them can attest that topical creams typically have no effect on cellulite. They simply don't penetrate deep enough into the skin. In contrast, lipo disolve is injected directly into the affected areas of the body. It is believed to simulate the body's natural process for breaking down cellulite and expelling it from the body. However, more research still needs to be conducted to determine if this process is effective. It has not yet been conclusively determined that the body actually expels the excess fat.

Lipodisolve is most effective in treating problem areas that have not gone away despite diligent efforts with diet and exercise. It has been in existence for this purpose for over 10 years, and as of yet no major medical side effects have been noted. Previously phosphatidylcholine was used to treat patients with cardiac disease. It is effective at reducing plaque. Most doctors say that any area above the knee is a potential candidate for lipo disolve (except for the breasts in women). It is most commonly used on the abdomen, thighs, under the chin, the jowls, and buttocks.

This lipodisolve procedure is administered by someone that is licensed and trained to do so. There area that the patient wants treated is injected several times while the patient is lying down. A huge benefit to lipodisolve in comparison to liposuction is the amount of recovery time. You virtually can go straight back to your normal activities after each of the treatments. It is important however to be very strict with staying on a good schedule of dieting and exericise. This will help to have the most benefit from the treatents. In most cases the patient will be required to have three to four treatments for the process to be complete.

No major side effects of lipodisolve have been noted - although long-term side effects still need to be studied. Typically side effects merely include swelling and bruising. However, the ingredients, and the ratios, of the drugs used in the injection vary from doctor to doctor and from clinic to clinic. It is therefore very difficult to determine what the long term effects may be.

Each treatment can cost anywhere from $150-$1500 depending on the size and location of the area being treated. There is also no guarantee that the treatment works for everyone, although 9 out of 10 people report being satisfied with the results.

Some precautions for the treatment are important to discuss. The treated is not safe for women that are pregnant, woman that are currently breast feeding, and woman that plan to become pregnant within 6 months. Talking with your doctor when deciding if the lipodisolve treatment is right for you is very important to make sure it is right for you. - 15359
