Fat-dissolving injection – injection lipolysis
Stubborn and annoying fat deposits under the chin, on the belly or hips can sometimes be treated with fat-dissolving injections.
Indication
Various factors contribute to annoying fat deposits, including lifestyle, genetic predisposition and hormonal fluctuations.
The fat removal injection (injection lipolysis) is well suited for the treatment of smaller fat deposits. Positive results are also achieved with cellulite, as it promotes a certain contraction of the skin while the fat cells dissolve. This leads to a smoother surface.
Treatment
The fat dissolving injection (injection lipolysis) is well suited for the treatment of smaller fat deposits. Positive results are also achieved with cellulite, as it promotes a certain contraction of the skin while the fat cells dissolve. This leads to a smoother surface.
The treatment is relatively painless and requires a subsequent massage to accelerate fat dissolution and the distribution of the active ingredient.
Generally, you will need 3 to 5 treatments, with an interval of 4 to 6 weeks between each session.
Result
Over the course of several weeks to months, the waste products of the dissolved fat cells are broken down naturally by the body. This effect is permanent, as the broken down fat cells do not grow back. However, the remaining fat cells can increase in size depending on hormonal factors, diet and lifestyle.
The long-term effect of treatment depends largely on your lifestyle. For example, a balanced diet and consistent exercise contribute to a much more lasting effect.
The fat dissolving injection can be used successfully in selected cases, so that surgery is not always necessary.
