LipiLoss is a non-surgical, non-drug alternative to liposuction. LipiLoss is used to sculpt away stubborn patches of  fat/cellulite, and to assist in weight-loss programs. LipiLoss is used to sculpt fat and cellulite in the following areas:

• Thighs
• Love handles
• Hips
• Double chins
• Tummy
• Or any other area with unwanted pockets of fat

This is a very popular question. The first thing to note is that LipiLoss™ is not surgery, whereas liposuction is surgery and tend to be more costly. There is significant post-operative discomfort that can come with liposuction, whereas the discomfort with lipiloss is mild and usually requires either nothing or a mild painkiller for no more than 24 hours. LipiLoss™ focuses on mobilizing fat from the fat cells, rather than removal of the fat cells, as is done in liposuction. If a liposuction client does not stick to a healthy lifestyle involving diet and exercise, then they do regain fat generally in a different area from where it was removed during the operation.

For example, a patient that had liposuction on the hips and buttocks may regain the weight on the neck and shoulders. With LipiLoss™, if a patient does not adhere to a healthy lifestyle of proper eating and exercise, they will regain fat in the same location where lipiloss had been performed.

Liposuction is done in one visit, whereas LipiLoss™ is typically performed over a series of sessions, usually averaging about 10 to 12, depending on the site being worked upon.
