SmartLipo is replacing LipoDissolve

Yes, LipoDissolve can be combined with other treatments.

For example, while doing LipoDissolve - I talk to patients about some dietary changes and exercise program to loose weight - most of the weight will be lost from the areas that we are injecting. I frequently add some weight loss ingredients into LipoDissolve injections.

LipoDissolve complements conventional liposuction by removing residual lumps and smoothing out uneven areas. I combine LipoDissolve with Mesotherapy and Acoustic Wave Therapy to work on cellulite in addition to dissolving fat.

My observation lately is that SmartLipo does what LipoDissolve, Mesotherapy, Acoustic Wave Therapy and Liposuction do together and it's quickly becoming preferred choice by my clients. Even those who are in the middle of other treatments already. All the results can be achieved in less time with less pain for reasonable price. And a lot of times the end results are smoother, thinner and more defined. And only 2 days off work - can't get any better.

SmartLipo or CoolLipo can be combined with lipodissolve or mesotherapy. . .but not at the same time.

I used to perform a lot of mesotherapy but have been much more satisfied with SmartLipo. Mesotherapy or lipodissolve can be used to target small areas or for areas not treated with SmartLipo.

One could even use it following SmartLipo if there is a small area that one wants to address a little more. I am so pleased with SmartLipo that I am allowing my clients to credit a significant portion of what they paid for mesotherapy towards a SmartLipo procedure regardless of when they had it done!

Cool Lipo can also be used to tighten skin after fat reduction by LipoDissolve, or mesotherapy. However, mesotherapy does not disrupt fat cells, only empties the interior fat, and fat can reaccumulate in
the treated area if one gains weight.

In my office, Cool Lipo is replacing much of the LipoDissolve mesotherapy because it permanently removes fat cells, is faster, has the specific skin-shrinking power setting, and is less uncomfortable.
