Lipodissolve—also called injection lipolysis—is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses a medical-grade injectable solution to disrupt the cell membrane of targeted fat cells (adipocytes). Once the membrane is compromised, the fat cell releases its stored lipid contents into the surrounding interstitial fluid. The body’s lymphatic system and liver then naturally metabolize and eliminate this released fat over several weeks. At Aqua Medical Spa in Mississauga, Dr. Armogan uses precisely mapped injection grids to ensure even fat reduction and smooth contouring.

Lipodissolve pricing at our Mississauga clinic depends on the treatment area, the volume of fat being addressed, and the number of sessions your treatment plan requires. A single-area treatment like the double chin typically costs less than multi-zone body contouring. During your free consultation, we provide a fully transparent quote with no hidden fees so you can plan with confidence.

Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate stinging or warmth during the injection phase, which typically lasts 15-20 minutes. The discomfort is temporary and begins fading within minutes of completing the injections. Topical numbing cream is applied beforehand for patients who prefer additional comfort. The post-treatment swelling and tenderness feel similar to mild muscle soreness and resolve progressively over several days.

Most patients at our Mississauga clinic require 2 to 4 sessions per treatment area, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the volume of fat, the area being treated, and how your body responds to the initial sessions. Some patients achieve their desired contour in 2 sessions; others with thicker fat deposits may benefit from 3-4. Dr. Armogan reassesses your progress before each session and adjusts the plan as needed.

The body needs time to metabolize the disrupted fat cells. Most patients begin noticing visible contour improvement between weeks 4 and 6 after their first session. Results continue to refine through weeks 8-12 as the lymphatic system completes its fat clearance process. Each subsequent session builds on the previous one, producing progressively more defined contours.

Yes. Fat cells that are destroyed by lipodissolve do not regenerate. Once eliminated, the treated area contains fewer adipocytes and will store less fat than before treatment. However, significant weight gain after treatment can cause remaining fat cells in the area (and elsewhere) to expand. Maintaining a stable, healthy weight is the best way to preserve your lipodissolve results long-term.

No. Lipodissolve is a body contouring treatment, not a weight loss solution. It is designed to reduce small, localized fat deposits that create visible bulges despite a healthy lifestyle—such as a double chin, lower belly pouch, or bra bulge. The total volume of fat removed is modest. Patients seeking significant weight reduction should explore medical weight management options before considering contouring treatments.

Most sessions at our Mississauga clinic take 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish, including the pre-treatment assessment, numbing application, and injection phase. Single-area treatments like the double chin are typically faster (20-30 minutes), while multi-zone sessions may take slightly longer.

Yes. Lipodissolve pairs well with skin tightening treatments, body contouring procedures, and facial aesthetic services. Some patients combine lipodissolve with PRP or laser treatments to address both volume and skin quality simultaneously. At our Mississauga clinic, Dr. Armogan will recommend the most effective combination and timing based on your specific goals.

When administered by qualified medical professionals using certified products and evidence-based injection protocols, lipodissolve has a strong safety profile. At Aqua Medical Spa, Dr. Armogan personally evaluates each patient, selects appropriate dosing, and monitors for any adverse response. We use only medical-grade compounds from authorized suppliers and follow strict clinical safety standards.

Lipodissolve is a non-surgical, injectable treatment that gradually dissolves fat over multiple sessions with no incisions, no anesthesia, and minimal downtime. Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed under anesthesia that physically suctions fat from the body in a single session, with more immediate but also more dramatic volume change and a longer recovery period. Lipodissolve is best suited for patients with small, localized deposits who want a non-surgical approach; liposuction is appropriate for larger-volume fat removal.

Absolutely. A growing number of male patients at our Mississauga clinic seek lipodissolve for common problem areas including the submental region (double chin), lower abdomen, love handles, and chest. The treatment approach and product are identical regardless of gender—the injection plan is customized based on each patient’s individual fat distribution and goals.

Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for 24-48 hours before your appointment to reduce bruising risk. Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to treatment. Arrive at our Mississauga clinic with clean skin on the treatment area, free of lotions or creams.

Lipodissolve is primarily a fat reduction treatment and does not directly tighten skin. Some patients experience mild skin contraction as the underlying volume decreases, but this varies by individual and depends on baseline skin elasticity. If significant skin laxity is a concern, Dr. Armogan may recommend complementary skin tightening treatments alongside lipodissolve to achieve the most refined contour possible.

The most common side effects are localized and temporary: swelling, firmness, redness, tenderness, and mild bruising in the treated area. These are expected inflammatory responses to the fat cell disruption process and typically resolve within 5-10 days. Serious side effects are rare when the treatment is performed by experienced medical professionals using proper technique and certified products. Dr. Armogan reviews all potential side effects during your consultation.
