Lipotherapy is a relatively new treatment here in the United States, although it has been used successfully in South America and Europe. Small amounts of a fat dissolving bile-like substance are injected into the fat bulges. The fibrous walls surrounding fat cells were noted to diminish, as did fatty deposits. Cosmetic dermatologists and plastic surgeons began to use this simple technique to dissolve fatty deposits. Men and women of all ages benefit, with no down time and minimal discomfort. The needles used are about the diameter of a human hair and since the quality of medication in any one area is so small, there is little injection discomfort. The injected area can be sore, like a "charley horse", for up to 14 days. Although less dramatic than liposuction in body shaping, there is no comparison in the invasiveness, complexity and side effect profile. In fact, all the facial cosmetic procedures at New Horizons, and the medical grade home care products, can postpone the need for more invasive therapies. Because of the small amount of medication injected in any one area, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the body sculpturing you desire from Lipotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How Does Lipotherapy work on weight loss and spot reduction?
A: Lipotherapy can target specific areas where your body stores excess fat. The customized formulas injected in a specific fatty area breaks the existing fat cells down. Your body then naturally flushes out the broken-down fat. Spot reduction can be used for double chins, love handles, hips, arms and onto abdominal fat where your body pockets fat.

Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: This will vary based to the extent of the fat/cellulite/skin to be treated. You may need 3-4 visits to achieve the desired effect.

How fast will I see results?
A: Results vary based on your body type and the severity of the condition. Usually results can be seen in two or three sessions.

Will the results last?
A: The results do last, unless you gain more weight.

Are the treatments painful?
A: The treatment discomfort varies from none to annoying superficial needle pricks. It is well tolerated. Expect some soreness for several days, up to 2 weeks.
