Fat happens. Like it or not, we can’t escape the reality that trouble spots on our body may exist even with proper diet and exercise. The media has been quick to label common problem areas with enduring terms, such as “muffin top”, “love handles”, or “stomach pooch.” But the reality is that certain fat deposits may never go away without intervention and calling attention to them with cute names doesn’t improve the situation.
Surgery is an option, but requires significant downtime and recovery. More convenient and less discomforting is a procedure involving micro-injections of two naturally occurring chemicals – phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate – into the fatty areas. This procedure is known as LipoMelt and acts like a detergent to dissolve fat and naturally expel it.
LipoMelt is a minor procedure used to remove small amounts of fat in localized areas and should always be performed by a trained and certified physician or registered nurse. Although a relatively new introduction in the United States, the procedure has been widely used in Europe for more than two decades. Infinity MedSpa is the first practice in the Santa Clarita Valley to utilize this technologically advanced fat reduction therapy.
Which parts of the body can be treated with LipoMelt?
• Thighs and hips
• Double chin/neck
• Fat around the cheeks and midface
• Fat deposits of the lower eye pads
• Upper and lower arms
• Upper and lower abdomen
• Waist
• Fat deposits on the back
• Knees and legs
The results of LipoMelt vary and depend on the size of the area treated. The highest fat loss typically occurs in the waist/belly area. Results are gradual and can take a few months.
The results of LipoMelt vary and depend on the size of the area treated. The highest fat loss typically occurs in the waist/belly area. Results are gradual and can take a few months to become obvious. A loss of two to three inches of fat usually requires at least two to four therapy sessions over the course of a few months. With little downtime required, the majority of individuals return to normal activity within one to two days. LipoMelt can also be effective in diminishing the unevenness that often occurs after lipoplasty or liposuction.
Maximizing the effectiveness of each LipoMelt procedure, Infinity MedSpa in Valencia utilizes the Accent XL system to heat the treatment area prior to injections. This radio frequency device has been approved by the FDA to tighten loose skin as well as to reduce the occurrence of cellulite.
The Accent XL can also be used to fight wrinkles and tighten skin on the face and body. Engineered for safety and featured in Elle and Cosmopolitan magazines, as well as on Oprah, the Accent XL provides controlled heat therapy and is the most advanced technology available in aesthetic medicine. Accent XL is widely recognized as the premier skin tightening and cellulite reduction device in the world and locally available only at Infinity MedSpa.
