Lipolysis

An injectable therapy for fat removal and facial contouring  

What is Lipolysis?

Lipolysis injections are a series of micro-injections into unwanted fat deposits on the face & body. The injections are made up of natural substances which then work to break down the subcutaneous fat at the injection site, to give you a more contoured, toned appearance.

Lipolysis injections must not be regarded as a miracle drug for weight reduction. But when it comes to fat deposits which cannot be eliminated by nutritional therapy or exercises, Lipolysis injections may be the answer. During the injection process fat is melted away and then eliminated from the body via the usual metabolic process. 

Who is suitable for treatment?

Almost anyone is suitable for treatment. However, some diabetics, those with autoimmune diseases and severe liver/renal diseases should not be treated. Pregnant or nursing mothers and children are also not suitable for the treatment.

Lipolysis injection results can be seen best in smaller treatment areas. Patients with bigger areas can still be treated, though may require many treatments and for them, liposuction may be a better option. 

What can be achieved?

Some patients have reported up to 14cm circumferential loss in the stomach region! Results vary from patient to patient and are dependent on the treatment area. Lipolysis should be regarded as a treatment for body sculpting or contouring.

What are the side effects of Lipolysis?

Almost every patient will experience some temporary side effects. These may include redness, swelling, itching and muscle aches in the treated area which may last for a few days. You may also experience some bruising in the 10-14 days after treatment.
