Lipodissolve

Lipodissolve injections offer a non-surgical solution for reducing small pockets of localised fat which helps smoothen the skin. The active ingredient of Lipodissolve injections is phosphatidylcholine, it is a naturally occurring substance that is extracted from soy beans. This substance is also normally produced in the body and has various functions, one of these is fat metabolism. When this substance is injected into the area of need it will break down the fat deposits helping you achieve a smoother and rejuvenated appearance.

Aftercare

Immediate Post-Procedure (Days 1-2):

  • Expect some mild swelling, redness, and tenderness at the treatment site immediately after Lipodissolve. These side effects typically subside within a few hours to 3 days.
  • Bruising may occur but usually resolves within a week.
  • Drink plenty of fluids
  • You may take panadol/ibuprofen
  • If experiencing discomfort, apply ice for 10 min every hour.
  • Avoid washing the treated area or taking a shower for at least four hours.

  • Refrain from taking any supplements until 48 hours after your procedure.
  • Avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours after your treatment.
  • Following your Lipodissolve procedure, it’s essential to engage in a targeted massage technique to aid the fat elimination process, promote even distribution of the treatment, and optimize your results. Massage the treated area for approximately 15 minutes each day for the first 2 weeks post-treatment. Aim for 5 minutes of massage, 5 times a day.
