There are a growing number of alternatives to liposuction that have become increasingly popular or trendy in the last few years. So these treatments are FDA approved while others are not, but all of them are currently conducted and performed within the United States on lots of different patients every. These alternatives include smart lipo, lipodissolve, and Vaser liposuction. All three of these alternative treatment options work in a different way and have a different process for each treatment. They all work in a way to attempt to accomplish the same end goal though. The end goal is to rid the body of the fatty tissue from specific areas that are being treated. One of the more controversial treatment options is called lipodissolve. This is a non surgical liposuction treatment and involves the process of receiving several chemical solution interjections directly into the specific fatty areas you’d like to have treated. These chemicals and then start to dissolve the fat from those areas in the excess remains is then exited for your body. Some people believe this fat exits through the liver while others believe it exits through the urine.
Lipodissolve is considered to be controversial because it is not currently approved by the FDA. Since it is not approved some people believe it is not safe and that you should avoid using it. There isn’t really much basis for this other than the fact that it has not been tested long-term and no one knows if there are any side effects to receiving these chemical injections down the road. If you’re interested in this type of treatment it’s always the best idea to talk to a doctor about it and figure out if they recommend you try it or not. Remember that this alternative to liposuction will typically take 4 to 6 treatments in order to see full results so you shouldn’t expect to melt all the fat away from your body after just one treatment.
