Injection Lipolysis
Injection Lipolysis
Procedure Overview: Injection lipolysis, commonly known as "lipodissolve" or "mesotherapy for fat reduction," is a cosmetic procedure that involves the injection of a solution into targeted areas of the body to break down and reduce localized fat deposits. The injected solution typically contains a mixture of substances such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholate (DC), which are believed to help break down and eliminate fat cells.
Key Features of Injection Lipolysis:
Targeted Fat Reduction:
Injection lipolysis is designed to target specific areas of localized fat, such as love handles, thighs, or the abdomen.
Non-Invasive:
It is a non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure that doesn't require anesthesia or significant downtime.
Series of Injections:
The treatment involves a series of injections administered directly into the targeted fat deposits over several sessions.
Mechanism of Action:
The injected solution is believed to break down fat cells, causing them to release their contents, which are then naturally eliminated by the body's lymphatic system.
Results and Gradual Improvement:
Results are typically not immediate, and several sessions may be needed to achieve the desired outcome. The process is gradual, with improvements becoming more noticeable over time.
Patient Selection:
Injection lipolysis is often recommended for individuals with small, localized areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
