Meso-Lipotherapy and
Lipo-Lyze sm
Deborah Hudak, M.D. first learned of meso-lipotherapy about 5
years ago when reading through Cosmetic Surgery Times (as she is an
Oculofacial Surgeon and Ophthalmologist, and Raleigh's only member of
the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, a Board-Certified group of
cosmetic surgeons). The European Academy of Cosmetic Surgery had
named Lipotherapy as the "Most Promising New Procedure for
Minimally-Invasive Cosmetic Surgery." After conducting extensive
research, education, and training, Dr. Hudak developed a proprietary
modification to meso-lipotherapy and introduced Lipo-Lyze sm. Some
articles call it "Next Gen Liposuction."
Mesotherapy is a method of introducing medicines into the
body by way of the mesoderm (skin). It was invented in
1952 by Michel Pistor, MD, in Paris, France. Jacques Le
Coz, MD was a protege of Dr. Pistor (who died in 2003),
and became a friend as they tweaked and improved their
mesotherapy. Dr. Le Coz is the author of the most
complete book on mesotherapy. There are 3 techniques used,
all of which use 27-30 Gauge needles (the size people inject
themselves daily with for insulin) called Nappage with
Tremor, Nappage with Bounce, and Point Per Point. The
needle goes down only 1/10th to less than 1/2 inch depth.
They used the techniques for treating many illnesses (and
still do) such as tendinitis, scars, various skin conditions,
etc.. Le Coz has served for years as the Doctor in charge
of treating sports injuries of France's National Soccer
Team! In 1986, the French Academy of Medicine sanctioned
it as a legitimate and efficacious way to treat many medical
disorders, and even to be considered a "standard of care."
One of their students of 3 years, a Dermatologist from
Sao Paolo, Brazil, Patricia G. Rittes, MD, took their Point
Per Point technique and applied medication used for lipomas
(benign fatty tumors) to bulging lower eyelid fat pads for
cosmetic purposes in 1995...and got PERMANENT spot fat
reduction! Dr. Rittes is credited with the first
application of mesotherapy for cosmetic applications which
is now referred to as Lipotherapy (lipodissolve). Roman
Chubaty, MD, an Internist from Toronto, Canada, studied
from Le Coz, Pistor, and Rittes and brought the procedure
to Toronto, and then moved a few years ago to Phoenix,
Arizona and brought the procedures with him. Diane
Duncan, MD, a Plastic Surgeon from Fort Collins, Colorado,
has done clinical research to determine the ideal depth of
injection, volume of injection, and spacing of injections to
achieve permanent spot fat reduction in the various parts
of the body. Duncan and Chubaty published the largest
survey of physicians and patients' results on this subject
in a medical journal, and the results will likely astound you.
Treated by more than 75 physicians in 17 countries, out of
more than 17,000 patients and more than 56,000 treatment
sessions, there were no deaths, no hospitalizations, no
infections, no episodes of skin necrosis! There are now
reportedly more than 1000 physicians worldwide that
administer Mesotherapy.
The major medicines used in Lipo-Lyze sm are
phosphatidylcholine (a product of soy and lecithin) and
deoxycholate (a bile salt long used for treatment of liver
diseases here in the USA and abroad).
It is truly incredible! Lipo-Lyze sm for PERMANENT
spot fat and cellulite reduction is done with no
downtime, no surgery, no anesthetic (unless you want
topical anesthetic or pre-treatment cold air) in 1-5
treatment sessions (for spot fat and cellulite stage 4),
5-10 treatment sessions (for cellulite stage 1-3). Pain
is usually present for the first 2-24 hours (less than
1-1/2% of more than 17,000 patients and > 56,000
treatments had pain more than 48 hours), but rarely is
in need of anything more than Tylenol ExtraStrength.
Bruising often occurs, but goes away in 1-2 weeks,
usually. This is minimized by pre- and post-treatment
with Vitamin C and Arnica. Swelling can be huge, peaking
in 1-3 days, but is a good thing: the more swelling, the
more skin retraction and dermal thickening. (Dr. Duncan
showed a 14% skin reduction per treatment session in
her research.) 90% of back fat rolls are gone with a
single treatment. The "spare tire" and "love handles"
typically take 1-3 sessions. Other areas that respond
great: jowls, "turkey gobbler"/fat under the chin, male
gynecomastia (breasts), inner and outer thighs, "bat
wings"/fat under the upper arms, lower lid fat pads.
Lipo-Lyze sm is NOT intended to be for weight
reduction (although many people get some weight
reduction with fat reduction), but IT IS for inch
reduction!!!
