Minneapolis Lipodissolve doctors

• Any time one is eating a healthy diet and exercising on a regular basis, that will certainly increase the results with LipoDissolve.

• Additionally, I have several plastic surgeons who perform liposuction who will send patients to me for additional touchups at the end. For example, patients say they love the results of liposuction and they can fit into smaller clothing; however, sometimes the cannula can leave little track marks, dimples, and grooves. This is a great job for LipoDissolve to smooth these out.

• I tell patients that with LipoDissolve treatments, specifically LipoDissolve Ultra in our clinic, it usually takes two to four treatments. I tell patients to count on four treatments, so if it takes four, that is exactly what they counted on, and if it takes fewer than four, then that is a bonus. I also tell patients if they do not see any changes after two treatments, they should probably stop.

• In my clinic, we have a success rate of approximately 80%, so four out of five patients get very nice results with LipoDissolve. Unfortunately, one out of five doesn't and I do not know how to predict who these patients will be. In fact, I wish I could, because I would tell those one in five patients not to do it, and I would tell everybody else to go ahead and then all my patients would be thrilled. Nevertheless, I tell patients if they don't see any movement after two treatments, to please stop from moving forward, but if they do see results, absolutely, keep going and treat other areas.

• That brings me to the other point, I tell patients to start out with one area to make sure they are a good responder, and if they are, then we can certainly expand our treatment plans to include all areas that bother them.

• Because it involves multiple injections, bruising can be significant. I tell patients to use homeopathic arnica pills starting five days before their treatment and to use arnica gel post treatment. I think this makes a big difference in minimizing any bruising.

Are mesotherapy and Lipodissolve the same thing?

The question of the difference between LipoDissolve and mesotherapy is one that is hotly debated.

• Mesotherapy is a general term for the injection of materials into the middle layer of skin for therapeutic results. It is a very general term, and it is used for many things including the treatment of unwanted fat, cellulite, hair loss, keloid scars, joint pain, and skin rejuvenation, plus many others.
• In my opinion, LipoDissolve is a type of mesotherapy. Using an analogy, if you look in a parking lot, you see automobiles, and a Jaguar is a type of automobile seen in the parking lot. I will note that many LipoDissolve purists consider LipoDissolve completely separate from mesotherapy, but if you look at the techniques, formulas, and volumes used currently by well-known practitioners of mesotherapy and LipoDissolve, they are very similar.

Once again, I look at LipoDissolve as a unique standalone treatment for the dissolution of unwanted fat; however, it is very similar to certain procedures that people are doing in mesotherapy. Even though I consider LipoDissolve a type of mesotherapy, I would specifically caution anyone who wants to have unwanted fat treated to go to someone who is trained in classical LipoDissolve Ultra. I think this is the big difference. When you want LipoDissolve, go to someone who calls himself or herself an expert in LipoDissolve therapy, most notably LipoDissolve Ultra.
