Looking for a way to get rid of excess body fat without having to undergo liposuction or other forms of weight loss surgery? Modern medicine offers a number of different minimally invasive treatment options and one of them has become a popular way to treat and eliminate excess pockets of body fat which accumulate over time or due to genetics.

Lipodissolve is one treatment option which is growing in popularity and which helps to eliminate excess body fat in specific locations without the use of surgery. The treatment involves using an injection of a naturally occurring solution comprised of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate. Both are found naturally in the gall bladder and act to digest fats in the body. The injections can be used in various parts of the body and have permanent results to an extent. Patients can still gain the weight back in that area with general body weight gain, but if they maintain a healthy weight and do not gain any weight, then the treatment is most effective.

Repeat injections may be necessary to eliminate the fat in the desired area. Body fat located under the chin is one popular treatment location as well as many others. Lipodissolve can be a great way to help even out the effects of liposuction if the desired results were not achieved. If liposuction was performed and extra pockets of fat remain, lipodissolve is one way to achieve a smoother appearance in the area. This injection fat reducer generally works best when it is used on areas of the skin that have more fat content, are not bony, and are larger, such as the thighs, buttocks, stomach, etc. The areas that are the most difficult to treat tend to be the ankles, fingers, and other areas of the body that generally have less fat and are bonier.

Furthermore, lipodissolve can work great for cellulite on the body and the reduction of male breasts. It is an excellent treatment option for those who don't wish to undergo any sort of surgical treatment and who would rather have fat reduced without surgery. Having said this however, it does not work well to treat morbid obesity or for the reduction of general body weight. It works best when applied to specific areas rather than as an attempt to get rid of overall weight gain. Some of the minor side effects associated with the treatment include soreness, redness, swelling, pain, itching and bruising. These symptoms usually subside within a few days after the treatment. One to four treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results depending on the area being treated. The effects of the treatment are gradual and take a few weeks to months to develop fully. It is difficult to tell how effective the treatment is or will be immediately after. Due to this, doctors do not promote having treatments done too close together and suggest spreading them out to see what each individual treatment will do for the body so that money and time are not wasted.
