Liquid Lipo treatments near Minneapolis
Liquid Lipo is similar to Kybella®, as it comprises a naturally occurring acid in one’s own body.
Liquid Lipo destroys fat cells wherever it’s injected, after which the area cannot store or accumulate fat. Liquid Lipo treats the chin, but can also treat other body areas with small areas of fat. It is more potent than Kybella, therefore you may need fewer sessions. In addition, it has a lower price point per procedure than Kybella.

Step 3: Treatment
One of our physicians will place the Liquid Lipo injections strategically in the treatment area. These injections feel like little “pinches,” using the smallest possible needle. Immediately following the treatment, you will experience an achy feeling for 10 to 15 minutes. During this time, swelling will occur as the fat cells are destroyed, causing inflammation. You will remain swollen for 4 to 5 days. Following the treatment, you may resume normal activities.
