Are you looking for a non-surgical way to eliminate stubborn, localized fat? At Nu Vela Laser Medical Spa in Porter Ranch, CA, we offer lipodissolve injections, a safe and effective cosmetic injectable treatment. Also known as non-surgical fat reduction, it helps you achieve a more contoured and toned appearance without the downtime and risks associated with surgery.
Lipodissolve is a fat-dissolving product similar to Kybella. When injected into localized fat deposits of the body, it dissolves the fat and tones the area. Lipodissolve has been used in Brazil and Europe for over 40 years, and in the United States for more than twenty years.
Phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate, naturally occurring in the body, are the primary active components in lipodissolve, often mixed with numbing medication, like Lidocaine. The lipodissolve used by Dr. Raffi Dishakjian, the cosmetic surgeon at our medical spa, is prepared by a reputable, state-licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy and is as effective as Kybella.
The combination of phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate works by disrupting the fat cells and emulsifying the contents. The emulsion is then flushed from the body as waste. The inflammatory response causes new collagen to form beneath the skin. As a result, the skin often becomes firmer and denser.
Clinical studies have indicated that sodium deoxycholate, an anionic bile detergent, is the major active substance that causes emulsification and subsequent lipolysis.

Lipodissolve is not FDA-approved for cosmetic fat reduction, and its use for this purpose is considered “off-label.” It is a common practice in medicine, as FDA approval can be expensive. Since lipodissolve is made from substances already in the public domain, pharmaceutical companies are not incentivized to go through the costly approval process without the ability to secure an exclusive patent.
Despite the lack of specific FDA approval, off-label use is legal and widely practiced in dermatology, where roughly one-third of all prescriptions are for unapproved uses.
Lipodissolve injections have a long history of safe use, with millions of procedures performed over the last 40 years.
At Nu Vela Laser Medical Spa, our cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Dishakjian, has extensive experience performing thousands of these fat-dissolving injections for body contouring and has an excellent safety record. A member of the International Meso-Lipotherapy Society with accredited training, Dr. Dishakjian has been featured on ABC Channel’s Eyewitness News to provide his expert opinion on the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
The solution used in lipodissolve is composed of phosphatidylcholine and sodium deoxycholate, two substances naturally found in the human body. Phosphatidylcholine is a vital component of every cell, while sodium deoxycholate helps break down and absorb fats. Using these natural compounds contributes to the procedure’s safety and makes it a trusted option for non-surgical fat reduction.
Lipodissolve can be used for body contouring to reduce localized fat deposits virtually from any part of the human body. In addition, it is very effective in correcting plumped jowls and getting rid of fat in the under-chin area. The technique is commonly known as lipotherapy.

He will also give you an estimate of the number of treatment sessions needed to achieve the desired results.
Our fat-dissolving injections are highly versatile and can be used on various parts of the body to target localized fat deposits. Some of the most common treatment areas include:
An ideal candidate for lipodissolve is a person who is at or near their ideal body weight but has stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. This procedure is not a weight-loss solution but rather a body-contouring treatment. If you are looking for a non-surgical alternative to liposuction to refine your figure, you may be a great candidate for fat loss injections.
A lipodissolve treatment at our Porter Ranch clinic is a straightforward process. During your consultation, our skilled cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Dishakjian, will assess your target areas and create a personalized treatment plan.
The procedure involves a series of small, targeted injections into the fat pockets. The number of injections and sessions needed will depend on the size of the treatment area and the amount of fat to be dissolved. Most clients tolerate the procedure well, and it can be completed in a short office visit.

The recovery from lipodissolve is minimal, allowing you to return to your daily routine with little interruption. You may experience some common side effects, such as temporary swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites. These are typical and typically subside within a few days to a week. Most clients do not require any downtime and can resume regular activities immediately after their appointment.
Choosing lipodissolve for non-surgical fat reduction offers numerous benefits such as:
The cost of a lipodissolve treatment varies based on a few factors. The primary determinants are the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions required to achieve your desired results.

Yes, once the fat cells are destroyed by the lipodissolve solution, they are permanently removed from your body. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent new fat from accumulating.
You may begin to see results within a few weeks as your body naturally processes and eliminates the dissolved fat cells. The final results become more apparent over a period of 2-4 months as swelling subsides and the skin tightens.
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. We can use a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort. You may feel a slight stinging or burning sensation as the solution is injected.
While lipodissolve is safe for most people, it is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions. We will review your full medical history during your initial consultation to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
