Clinical Studies

Over 50 scientific publications have been published on Chemical Lipolysis, or Lipodissolve. Several are large scale and include double-blind studies. More than 100,000 treatments in total have been documented. The rate of more serious complications is 0.0017%. New research and publications are in process continuously.

  

New Evidence Validates ASAL Lipodissolve®

Recent clinical research by Division of Plastic Surgery, University Hospital of Regensburg, and the Clinical Research Center, Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Germany, published in August 2009 verifies the effective reduction of fat with ASAL Lipodissolve. Additionally, a U.S. study was conducted by the Craniofacial Institute, Providence Hospital in Michigan confirming the same.

All three in-depth studies demonstrate clear clinical evidence that Chemical Lipolysis is an effective treatment for non-surgical fat reduction or lipolysis procedures. According to the studies >50% of the fat cells injected disappeared during 30 min incubation and nearly 100% fat cell lysis was observed after 24 h.

The original developers, ASAL, have a patent for the Lipodissolve formula.
