Fat Dissolving Injections
Lipolysis targets stubborn localized fat deposits that are resistant to the effects of weight loss through healthy dieting and exercise. It involves injecting an active substance directly into the subcutaneous tissue to dissolve the fat, without affecting surrounding fat tissue. This technique is specifically intended for smaller localized areas to enhance contouring, rather than general weight loss. The active ingredient used helps emulsify and break down fat and cholesterol. Combining this procedure with a healthy diet and exercise regime is recommended for optimal results, as weight gain may affect the outcome.
Common areas treated:
- Jowls
- Double chin
- Love handles
- Saddle bulge
- Bra bulge
- Stomach
- Knees
Frequently Asked Questions
What are lipolytic injections?
Lipolytic injections are a non-surgical treatment option for reducing the appearance of stubborn fat deposits in different parts of the body. They work by breaking down and dissolving fat cells, which are then eliminated from the body through natural processes.
How long do the results of lipolytic injections last?
The results of lipolytic injections can vary from person to person, but they can typically last for several months to a year. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine can help to prolong the effects.
Are lipolytic injections painful?
Lipolytic injections are usually well-tolerated by patients and are often described as feeling like a pinch or sting at the injection site. A topical anaesthetic may be used to help minimize discomfort.
Are lipolytic injections safe?
Lipolytic injections are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks involved, such as bruising, swelling, allergic reactions and infection. It’s important to choose a reputable provider and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before undergoing the treatment.
How many sessions of lipolytic injections are needed?
The number of sessions needed will depend on the individual’s goals and the area being treated. Some people may see results after a single session, while others may require multiple treatments. Your healthcare provider can help determine the best treatment plan for you.
