If you’re looking for a non-surgical fat reduction treatment to address stubborn areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise, mesotherapy, also known as lipodissolve, may be an effective solution. Mesotherapy fat reduction is commonly used to contour areas such as the double chin, abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms. It is a popular option for patients seeking body contouring without surgery in New Rochelle and throughout Westchester County.
What Is Mesotherapy (Lipodissolve)?
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment that uses fat-dissolving injections to target localized fat deposits. The injectable solution often contains deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When injected into fatty tissue, deoxycholic acid disrupts fat cell membranes, causing the fat cells to permanently break down. The body then gradually eliminates the destroyed fat cells through the lymphatic system. Deoxycholic acid is FDA-approved for submental fat (double chin). When used in other areas, lipodissolve is considered an off-label application based on provider expertise.
Areas Treated With Mesotherapy Fat Reduction
- Double chin (submental fat)
- Jawline and jowls
- Upper and lower abdomen
- Love handles (flanks)
- Inner and outer thighs
- Upper arms
- Bra bulge and back rolls
- Knees
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Mesotherapy is best suited for individuals who are near their ideal weight and struggle with small pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise. It is not a weight-loss treatment and is not intended for large-volume fat reduction. A consultation with a licensed medical provider is required to determine candidacy.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment sessions typically last 20–45 minutes. Mild to moderate discomfort is expected, and numbing may be used. Most patients require 2–4 sessions per area, spaced several weeks apart. Downtime is minimal.
Side Effects and Recovery
Common temporary side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, and firmness under the skin. Swelling is expected and typically resolves within 1–2 weeks.
When Will You See Results?
Results develop gradually over several weeks as the body metabolizes destroyed fat cells. Once eliminated, fat cells do not return as long as weight remains stable.
