Lipodissolve Uncovered

By Jerry Carson

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

Lipodissolve is composed of two substances known to be naturally present in human cell membrane. The first and the main ingredient of the solution is phosphatidylcholine. It can be extracted from soybean and egg white. The next most important ingredient is deoxycholate, which is derived from liver. The two combined are called PCDC. There are other substances in the solution which includes multivitamins, enzymes and hormones. Anti inflammatory medicine and antibiotics may also be mixed in the solution. Phosphatidylcholine is FDA approved for as medication for heart-attack and stroke while deoxycholate is long been known as an emulsifier.

Lipodissolve is not yet approved by FDA for dissolving fat in the body. Because of this, no standard procedure on how to execute the treatment is ever approved. The physician who will conduct the session will decide his preferred procedure, dosage to be used, and the ingredients of the formula. There are controversies surrounding Lipodissolve regarding legality of the procedure and formula used. These issues are being settled under FDA regulations but no final word has been released so far. There are states such as Kansas where Lipodissolve is close to being banned.

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 who are willing to undergo Lipodissolve treatment must take the risk on their own responsibility. The risk may be lessened if the physician has a good track record with regards to administering the same procedure. History of previous patients, if available, should be closely examined. If there are photos of patients before and after the treatment, it would show how effective the procedure is done by that physician.
