Welcome to The Cosmetique, Dallas' Premier Lipodissolve Center

With years of experience in both Lipodissolve and Mesotherapy, The Uptown Cosmetique is considered the top advanced lipodissolve center in the Dallas-Ft Worth area, offering needle-less, laser and injection based lipodissolve with the most advanced formulation available. At the Uptown Cosmetique, many patients can see results within their first few treatments.

The substance in Lipodissolve is called Phosphatidycholine, which is derived from soybeans and is a naturally occurring phospholipid in the body that lowers cholesterol. Lipodissolve treatments require multiple injections to various parts of the body over the course of 4 to 8 weeks depending on your needs and the methods of the practitioner.

Our doctor determines the amount and percentage of the compound needed to be injected. After the injections the patients can return immediately to their normal routine. The procedure literally can be done during a lunch break (about a 30 minute session).

Presently, over 15,000 medical practitioners provide injections throughout Europe, Great Britain and South America. It is estimated that there are 500 to 1000 doctors or clinics in the USA doing this therapy.

In Our Patients' Words...

To Janet McNeely and the wonderful staff of The Cosmetique Medical Spa & Boutique:

I cannot fashion words adequate enough to explain the complete and absolute satisfaction I have experienced due to the considerable success I achieved with your Lipodissolve treatments. When I tell friends about this treatment words like quick, easy, painless, effortless with results that are tangible come to mind. I can almost hear the reservation in their voices because I know they think this sounds too go to be true. The adage about "seeing is believing" could not more appropriate in this case. Once you see the results achieved with the Lipodissolve treatments you truly do become a believer.

Since I began my treatments a few short months ago, I have lost that "baby belly" I’ve been carrying around for more than 30 years. My stomach is much flatter and tighter with inch loss significant enough that I’ve dropped at least 2 pants sizes since I began treatment. My girlfriends have been shocked and amazed by my results - so much so that they have now begun treatments of their own.

The Lipodissolve treatments have been that miracle cure I’ve sought for years. There is no downtime with this treatment, no invasive surgical procedure, no discomfort and little effort. This treatment has provided an affordable, viable solution to eliminating those absolutely impossible fatty pockets that just didn’t want to let go. I am personally so sold on this process, that I am committed to moving on to those other pesky little areas that have plagued me for years. I am positive those too will be eliminated with the help of Lipodissolve!

Sincerely,

Sheri Aaron

What is Lipodissolve?

Small injections of Phosphatidylcholine, which is the chief component of soy lecithin. One significant quality of lecithin is its ability to break down fat. Lipodissolve is the trade name given to a process called injection lipolysis- a term doctors use for getting rid of body fat by injecting a chemical under the skin and around the fat cells.

How is Lipodissolve administered?

We can treat your problem areas either by injection, or using our needle free technology. Laser penetrates the medication down into the mesoderm to eliminate the fat cells. If you're afraid of needles, the laser technique is an excellent alternative.

What is it used for?

Phosphatidylcholine is medically proven to reduce cholesterol, increase metabolism and enhance liver and cellular functions. Phosphatidylcholine has been used by physicians in many countries for the past few years as a safer alternative to surgical liposuction in fat and cellulite reduction procedures through injections, called lipodissolve.

How does lipodissolve work?

Lipodissolve has shown ability to break the bonds in fat cells. The fat is dissolved into liquid and eliminated from the body.

Is lipodissolve safe?

Phosphatidylcholine is soy based and viewed as an enzyme. Like any other injectable product, it may cause side effects or allergic reactions in some people. Clinical experience from over 8 years of regular daily use show adverse reactions to be extremely rare. Clinical reports from Austria give Phosphatidylcholine complete safety reports with a confirmed success rate.

Are there any other benefits with lipodissolve?

Yes, several. Lipodissolve injections do not destroy fat cells as with Liposuction. New or future weight gain is accumulated evenly, unlike Liposuction, where uneven "dents" in the areas where fat has been removed are common and also occur with new weight gain.

When will I see results?

Phosphatidylcholine gives excellent results on cellulite and smoothes the "orange peel" effect. The results remain permanent unless there is new weight gain. Clinical trials have also shown Phosphatidylcholine being a soy enzyme, to give added vitality to patients ("Some patients reported, without being asked, an increased physical well-being after the injections." Dr. Franz Hasengschwandtner, Clinic in the Centrum, Austria).

What are the known side effects?

Common side effects have been known to contain local pain, minor burning sensation for a few hours, and temporary bruising. Itching and soreness may be experienced for 1-2 days and swelling of treated area for 48 hours.

Are there reports of failure?

Yes. In Austria, the failure rate has shown to be 8% from clinical use. The percentage may be slightly higher from use where physicians lack knowledge of lipodissolve. This problem is solved by applying alternate sessions of mesotherapy to loosen up the condensed fat and enable it to be eliminated.

Can the solution "melt" other organs?

Phosphatidylcholine has been used intravenously since the 1950’s in cardiac related illnesses to reduce cholesterol and plaque. These procedures recommend a much higher dosage on daily treatment than what is used in fat-dissolve procedures once every 14 days. There have never been reports of any "melting" of organs from high dosage use of Phosphatidylcholine in the past fifty years.

Have dangerous side-effects been reported from clinical use?

Patricia Rittes M.D. has performed over 26,000 clinical fat dissolve treatments and 2,000 lower eyelid blepharoplasty since 1995 with Phosphatidylcholine. Rittes reports that during this period she has not come across one case of serious side effects apart from the known common side effects.

The compounds used for lipodissolve have not been approved or intensely tested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for any sort of fat reduction. That means it is off-label or unregulated use. "Off-label" means that it has been approved or occurs naturally for one purpose, but doctors are using it for a different purpose. Off-label use of drugs is very common. The medical community has a history of such medication use if the off-label treatment is similar to the approved treatment.

For example, using Botox® to remove wrinkles is an off-label treatment. Botox is approved to relieve muscle spasms due to neurological problems. Another example is using an antibiotic that may be approved for treating a bladder infection for a different area, such as, a sinus infection (this type of substitution or use has been done frequently by physicians for years). Also, a cancer drug may be approved for one cancer, but used off-label without formal approval from the FDA. As a practical matter, often it is just too time consuming or expensive to seek approval for every indication for a product from the FDA.

Are Lipodissolve injections right for me?

Lipodissolve injections have shown good results for minor to medium body sculpting of specific areas of the body like stomach area, upper arms, thighs, chin, hips, and so forth. Lipodissolve has shown excellent results to smooth and remove cellulite. In comparison, surgical liposuction does not treat cellulite and in fact often ends up enhancing pre-existing cellulite, making the cellulite more prominent.

How can lipodissolve replace liposuction?

The main reason physicians prefer lipodissolve to liposuction is patient safety and better long-term results. However, lipodissolve is not a complete replacement for lipoplasty. Lipodissolve treatment is suitable for small area sculptures or as an option for patients who may be sensitive to invasive procedures. Lipodissolve has several positive aspects worthy to review when compared to lipoplasty:
