Lipodissolve — also known as Liquid Lipo or injection lipolysis — uses a series of small injections placed directly into targeted subcutaneous fat. Our compounded formulation contains phosphatidylcholine (PC) and sodium deoxycholate (DC), ingredients with a long history of use in injection-lipolysis protocols.
The deoxycholate component disrupts the membranes of fat cells in the treated area, producing a localized response the body gradually clears over the following weeks — resulting in a reduction in the volume of the targeted fat pocket. This is a gradual process, not an overnight change.
It isn't intended to treat visceral abdominal fat or replace medical weight management, nutrition, or physical activity.
If you've lost weight — or you're near your desired weight — but a stubborn pocket remains, Lipodissolve may be an option.
Our medical weight-management program may be more appropriate for your goals.
Depending on your anatomy and individual evaluation, Lipodissolve may be considered for localized fat involving:
Not every area — or every patient — is appropriate for treatment. Your consultation allows us to determine whether the concern is subcutaneous fat, or whether skin laxity, visceral fat, muscle tone, or another issue is contributing to the appearance.
A treatment series, mapped and monitored by your provider from start to finish.
We evaluate the area, your medical history, goals, and the amount and distribution of subcutaneous fat.
Baseline photos and measurements are taken, and your provider maps the treatment area to your anatomy.
A topical numbing option is available. A series of small injections is placed throughout the mapped area.
Swelling and tenderness are expected. Compression may be recommended, with individualized aftercare instructions.
Lipodissolve results develop gradually. We evaluate your progress using photographs, measurements, and physical examination before recommending another session.
Many patients require approximately 2–4 treatments for a localized area, depending on size and desired improvement.
We generally reassess about 6 weeks after treatment; sessions are typically 6–8 weeks apart.
Early changes may appear within the first several weeks; continued improvement follows as swelling resolves.
Swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, and temporary firmness are expected as part of the treatment response.
Kybella® is a brand-name injectable containing deoxycholic acid, specifically approved for fat beneath the chin. Lipodissolve uses a compounded PC-DC formulation historically used for localized areas of subcutaneous fat elsewhere on the body. During your consultation, we'll determine which approach — if any — fits the area you want to improve.
Medical weight management / GLP-1 therapy addresses overall weight and metabolic health. Lipodissolve addresses specific, localized pockets of fat. The two approaches often complement each other — which is where targeted body contouring becomes part of the conversation.
A small localized pocket and an extended treatment field don't require the same amount of treatment, so your exact price is set after evaluation. Treatment-series options may be available.
Based on the size of the treatment area and the amount of treatment required. Confirmed at your consultation.
Book a ConsultationYou may be a good candidate if you:
Have a localized, pinchable pocket of unwanted fat
Are looking for a nonsurgical option
Understand this is body contouring, not weight loss
Are willing to complete a treatment series when needed
We don't choose a treatment simply because it's available. For one person, that may mean medical weight management. For another, it may mean Lipodissolve. For someone dealing primarily with skin laxity or cellulite, Venus Legacy body contouring may be a better fit.
Schedule your consultation at The Whole You Wellness Center in St. Peters, Missouri and let's determine whether Lipodissolve is appropriate for you.
