Get answers to common questions about Lipo Dissolve.

Lipo Dissolve uses a fat-dissolving injectable solution delivered into targeted areas. The solution breaks down fat cell membranes, releasing contents which the body naturally processes and eliminates via lymphatic and metabolic mechanisms over several weeks.

When performed by qualified providers at Saged NYC, Lipo Dissolve is generally safe. Side effects like swelling, bruising, and numbness are temporary. A medical consultation determines candidacy and minimizes risks depending on health history and treatment area.

Treatment plans vary based on area size and individual response. Many clients see noticeable improvement after two to four sessions spaced several weeks apart, while larger areas may require additional treatments for optimal contouring.

Expect mild swelling, bruising, soreness, and temporary numbness in the treated area. Most clients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours, while full settling and visible reduction occur over several weeks as the body clears dissolved fat.

Destroyed fat cells are permanently removed, so treated areas typically won't regain fat in the same spot. However, weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, so maintaining healthy lifestyle habits helps preserve results long-term.

Ideal candidates are near their goal weight with localized pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise. A consultation screens for medical contraindications, assesses skin laxity, and determines whether injectable dissolution or another modality best achieves desired contouring.
