Your Advanced Body Sculpting Solution

Many patients come to our clinic looking for help with sculpting their bodies and achieving a more contoured look. At Brightside Aesthetics by Ducharme Dermatology, we offer LIPOcel, an option for nonsurgical liposuction in Des Moines.

Lipocel targets fat deposits to enhance and define your natural curves. These deposits often don’t respond well to dieting and exercise alone. If you’re struggling with stubborn fat, our team is here to help.

The Brightside Process

Consultation

In order to start your LIPOcel journey with us, we’ll first schedule an initial consultation with you. This time is important—you can tell us what you want to see from treatment, and we can assess your current physique to see how LIPOcel can work for you.

Treatment

When we perform your LIPOcel treatment, you can expect a smooth and comfortable process. As the device works to gently heat your fat cells, you may feel a warming sensation. Many patients find the warmth of the treatment soothing.

Results

One of our favorite benefits of LIPOcel is that its results are generally fast-acting. You may start to notice improvements immediately after your treatment is done, with results continuing to improve in the following months.

Frequently Asked Questions

How LIPOcel Works

LIPOcel works by delivering high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) energy to the layers of unwanted fat beneath your skin. This energy heats the fat cells, breaking them down without harming the surrounding tissue. Your body takes these broken-down fat cells and eliminates them through your lymphatic system. This leaves you with a more toned and sculpted appearance in the treatment areas.

Prolonging Your Results

We recommend engaging in certain lifestyle practices that can prolong the results of your LIPOcel treatment. This often includes eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and engaging in regular exercise. Simple considerations like these can encourage nutrition, skin health, detoxification, and muscle tone maintenance.

Instructions for Treatment

There are various ways you can take care of yourself before and after getting LIPOcel treatment. This typically includes staying hydrated, avoiding large quantities of caffeine and alcohol, and discussing your current medications or supplements with your provider. Arrive for your appointment with clean skin, without any lotions or serums.

After the procedure, you should continue to stay hydrated and avoid intense exercise for at least 24 hours. Additionally, it is important that you adhere to any pre or post-care instructions given by your provider.

Financing

At Brightside Aesthetics, we offer convenient financing options through Cherry to make your LIPOcel treatment more accessible. With Cherry, you can spread your payments out in a way that is manageable for you. This means you can align your body contouring goals directly with your budget. The process is quick and simple—visit our Insurance & Financing page to learn more.
