Lipo Zap

Author: Jenelle Castelli

In today’s world, some people (it seems) will do almost anything to lose unwanted weight. Health becomes a non-issue and is put on the back burner, all in hopes of transforming into the beautiful, perfect celebrities on television. Lipozap is supposedly a way to “dissolve to your perfect shape”. To me, this seems like nothing more than a way to collect the money of desperate people.

In this article, I will introduce the Lipozap procedure. Further, I will discuss the “technology” behind Lipozap as well at what this procedure promises for its patients. A comparison of Lipozap to another similar procedure will also be examined.

Lipozap is a combination therapy that was developed in order to remove unwanted fat without any need for surgery. Lipozap uses “the latest technology from around the world” to localize bulges of unnecessary fat and convert them into waste which is excreted out of the body. It attacks the problem of focal fat deposits in three steps. Initially, radiofrequency and infared technology is used to heat subcutaneous fat within the fat cells. Next, the fat is deep heated while being contoured. Finally, a “fat dissolving medicine” is injected into the persistent and hard-to-manage fat bulges that the patient wants removed. Apparently, after this “fat dissolving medicine” is injected into the fat bulges, it breaks down those fat cells permanently. The procedure is described as being virtually painless thanks to “specialized injection technology” (although the infared and radiofrequency technology can be slightly uncomfortable). Further, Lipozap is said to leave most patients able to resume normal activities and a normal working schedule after little or no down time. Side effects from this procedure may include (but are not limited to):

  • Swelling and/or muscle soreness of the injection sight for several days after the procedure.
  • Itching of the injection sight.
  • Fatigue after the procedure.

Lipozap boasts that it is less expensive than traditional liposuction and SmartLipo procedures. It is also stated that most Lipozap patients are able to resume a completely normal routine 48 hours after completion of the procedure. Claims have been made that the average results from this procedure are 1 to 2 inches off of the thighs and 3 inches off of the abdomen.

Lipozap has several guidelines that are important to anyone considering the procedure. Lipozap should not be preformed on a patient IF that patient is:

  • Under 18 years of age.
  • Allergic to any soy product or benzyl alcohol.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding (until 6 weeks after lactating).
  • HIV positive (or suffering from any other immune system disease or weakness).
  • Subject to severe chronic illnesses.
  • Currently receiving (or a recent recipient of) chemotherapy.
  • Subject to bleeding disorders.
  • Subject to vascular insufficiency.
  • Subject to severe renal disease.
  • If there are open sores, lesions, or skin infections on the treatment area (injection sight).

Lipozap has the ability to improve any one of the following problem areas:

  • Love handles
  • Upper abdomen
  • Lower abdomen
  • Inner thighs
  • Outer thighs
  • Area above the knees
  • Buttocks
  • Upper arms
  • Upper and lower back

When compared to mesotherapy (another surgery-free way of magically dissolving fat) Lipozap seems to be the better choice from every angle.

  • The medicine injected with mesotherapy contains several unknown chemicals while the medicine associated with Lipozap uses natural and efficient substances.
  • More injections are needed with mesotherapy than with Lipozap.
  • The actual injection associated with mesotherapy is painful, however the Lipozap injection is painless (thanks to “new injection technology”).
  • The swelling from mesotherapy can last from 1-2 weeks, while the swelling from Lipozap fades within 1-2 days.
  • Downtime after mesotherapy could be 2-4 days compared to 1-2 days with Lipozap.
  • Lipozap offers the ability to “shrink remaining fat cells” while mesotherapy does not.

In the end, it is entirely up to the individual when it comes to what goes into their body. In my opinion, Lipozap is a procedure that is simply too good to be true. It promises so much to the patient without any mention of possible negative outcomes. One must wonder if this product is being sold to (instead of offered to) people that want to lose weight. Further, no research has been conducted when it comes to the long-term side effects of this product. In my opinion, it is simply not wise to subject your body to something that could affect you in a negative way down the road (and all for the sake of losing that unwanted bulge).
