Lipo dissolve uses deoxycholic acid, a bile-acid derivative that destroys fat cells on contact. It is placed in a grid pattern across a defined pocket of pinchable fat. Over the following weeks, the destroyed cells clear through normal metabolic processes.

Where it suits best
Small, defined pockets too localized to be worth treating with CoolSculpting or another platform. Common areas include jowls, small submental fat pockets, small back-of-arm pockets, or defined areas that have persisted after significant weight loss.

Results
Full result settles over six to eight weeks after each session, with total series result visible three to four months after the final one. Because the treated cells are gone they do not return, though holding the result depends on stable overall weight.
