What You Didn’t Know About Lipodissolve

Lipodissolve shocked the modern medical world by introducing in a new way of breaking down fat without the need for a surgery. Many people have already tried this treatment and claimed that they are satisfied with the result. The treatment involves injecting a solution composed of substances naturally present in living things, phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate, together known as PCDC. Undergoing series of treatment is supposed to dissolve fats in localized areas of the body where high concentration of fats is present. This includes areas in the thighs, arms, and abdomen, back, love handles, cheeks, under the eyelids and under the chin. The treatments could also remove unwanted cellulite, skin sagging and improve skin elasticity and firmness

PCDC is composed of two natural substances. The main ingredient is phosphatidylcholine (PC), a compound from soybean. The other one is deoxycholate which is natural bile taken from liver. The concoction may also include other substances such as multivitamins, plant extracts, enzymes, hormones, antibiotics and anti inflammatory drugs. Phosphatidylcholine is approved by FDA to break down blood sugar and is used for heart-attack prevention but it is not approved as a concoction or as an injectable. Most of the other substances in the Lipodissolve formula have no FDA approval as part of an injectable solution.

Because Lipodissolve treatment is not approved by FDA, there is no standard procedure as to how each session is to be conducted. Treatment procedure, dosage, and formula depend on the physician conducting the session. Controversies about safety and legality of the treatment and formula used are not yet settled under FDA regulations. Despite all of this, people are taking their risks in trying the treatment.

Several sessions two to three weeks apart are needed to complete Lipodissolve treatment procedure to ensure the best result. Each session may cost $350 to $1,500 depending on the area of the body that needs to be treated. Dissolving fats under the eyelids will cost considerably less than breaking down fats in the tummy. This is largely due to the fact that less amount of solution is needed for the fats in the eyelid than those in the tummy and lesser number of treatments is necessary.

The concern of most people who are against Lipodissolve is the outlet of dissolved fat after the treatment. They fear that when fats are dissolved they would eventually go to organs or systems where it could pose more problems. One of the theories is that dissolved fat would go to blood vessels which may clog it ant cause stroke or heart attack. Another theory says that dissolved fat would end up in the liver, endangering the organ.

People are warned about using unapproved drugs and treatments. If they would still want to try it its entirely on their own risk. They might at least do some background check on the physician who will conduct the treatment. Their track record and credentials would tell a lot about their ability to conduct the treatment. Try to check out photos of results if theyre available. Other peoples opinion specially feed backs of those who have tried the treatment can also help. They could shed some light to the truth about Lipodissolve with their own experience.
