Fat cells are permanently lost in the lipodissolve treatments. We have a referenced scientific publication (below) to support our statement. We are sorry that some have been confused about this and that their online research efforts have failed to give them accurate information.

“In a published scientific paper by Duncan and Hasengschwandtner, the authors evaluated adipocytes (fat cells) before and after lipodissolve treatments under the microscope (histologically). They noted fat cell necrosis (= fat cell death) and fat cell membrane disruption. Cells cannot live if their membranes are disrupted. Since adipocytes are not replaced when they die, the loss in the number of fat cells is permanent. The report also mentions similar findings in a report by Rose, referenced in the paper.

Additionlly, in an article by Odo et al. entitled “Sodium deoxycholate on Human Tissue” in the journal Dermatologic Surgery, volume 33, number 2, February 2007, pages 178 to 189, the authors conclude: “Sodium deoxycholate acts on adipose cells in subcutaneous tissue in vivo, inducing adipocyte lysis [which means cells death/loss, not shrinkage or decrease in size] and substituting fibrosis for adipose tissues. “
