A short YouTube video (speaker: Dr. Charles Mok) answering whether lipodissolve can treat obesity. The speaker states lipodissolve (phosphatidylcholine/deoxycholate, referred to as "lipidazole") treats pinchable subcutaneous fat in areas such as the neck, arms, parts of the thighs, belly, and flanks, but does not treat visceral/internal obesity. The procedure is done in-office with a few small injections (usually no numbing cream); discomfort is variable—mild pain to soreness—with some patients needing OTC painkillers or a day or two off work.

Chapters

It can treat anywhere that there's pinchable or subcutaneous fat. So classic areas would be the neck, maybe the arms, parts of the thighs and the belly, the flanks. It does not treat obesity. So somebody has what's called a visceral fat where it's fat on the inside doesn't get to that. It's got to be into the area we injected to. So somebody with a really large belly they got to lose weight and when they have flabby belly, flabby fat that you can pinch, phosphatidylcholine deoxylate or lipidazole would treat it. Procedures done in our office. You don't need any numbing cream. There's a few little pokes. It doesn't hurt. The procedure is not painless but it doesn't hurt very much at all. And afterwards it's uncomfortable from minor discomfort to having to take some Tylenol or Advil. Some people even take it a day or two off work because it is pretty sore and some people tolerate it quite well. So it is variable.
