Lipozap is a procedure that combines injections with the use of a machine to reduce fat and cellulite on targeted body parts.
Typical costs:
Lipozap typically costs about $300 per treatment per body part, with four treatments typically required -- for an average total of $1,200 per body part or $3,600 for three body parts. Patients usually get a treatment every four to five weeks, so a typical course takes four to five months to complete.
Because lipozap is considered a cosmetic treatment, it is not covered by medical insurance.
Lipozap combines the use of a VelaSmooth[1] . an anti-cellulite machine and injections.
After the treatment, a compression garment and nutritional supplements are provided to aid healing.

Lipozap was developed by MedAesthetica Medical Group, Inc., in Sherman Oaks, California, and is only available there at this time. Contact information can be found at MedAesthetica.com.
However, Lipozap is not FDA approved, and The Physicians Coalition for Injectable Safety cautions against the type of fat-dissolving injections used in Lipozap and advises using only injectables that have been approved for the specific purpose for which you want to use them.
Certain patients are not candidates for the procedure, including those with allergies to soy products or benzoyl alcohol, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding and chronic disease sufferers.
Side effects can include bruising, reddening, itching, swelling, pain and necrotizing of skin.
