Lipolytic fat dissolving Injections:
Many individuals struggle with stubborn pockets of fat that seem resistant to diet and exercise. In such cases, fat-dissolving injections offer a potential solution.
These injections involve the precise delivery of a solution, often containing deoxycholic acid, directly into targeted areas of fat like the chin, stomach, and thighs.
This solution effectively breaks down fat cells, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them.
Let’s delve deeper into how these injections function and their effectiveness in achieving desired results...
Does it work?
A study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that 86% of patients reported a visible reduction in fat after treatment.
However, it’s important to note that the results are not immediate and may take several weeks to become noticeable. It’s also worth considering that healthcare providers typically recommend injections for individuals with small to moderate areas of fat, and they may not be effective for those with larger pockets of fat.
Who is a good candidate?
This treatment is highly effective in people who are eating well and exercising but cannot shake stubborn pockets of fat.
It is seen as a body sculpting rather than a fat loss procedure.
It is highly effective for resistant fat collection in the face, jowls, chin & body.
The volume injected is directly proportional to the volume of fat that is lost/destroyed.
When will I see the results?
Results can be seen as soon as 7 days post-procedure, but on average we ask our patients to wait 2 weeks for the full effect.
Bear in mind, on average, 2-3 treatment sessions are necessary per area.
Are lipolytic injections safe?
This physiological process is medically tested and was found safe and effective.
Post-treatment care:
There will be some redness and swelling for +~48 hours post-treatment, so plan your week accordingly!
