Lipolysis or Mesotherapy at Sunshine Health DPC
At Sunshine Health DPC, we offer lipolysis or mesotherapy as a non-surgical solution for reducing localized fat deposits and improving body contour. These treatments are ideal for individuals seeking a minimally invasive method to target stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
What is Lipolysis or Mesotherapy?
Lipolysis or mesotherapy involves the use of injections containing a specially formulated solution to break down fat cells in targeted areas. The treatment uses naturally occurring or FDA-approved substances, such as phosphatidylcholine (PPC) or deoxycholic acid, which work to dissolve fat cells. Once broken down, these fat cells are metabolized and eliminated by the body’s natural processes.
