LYPOLYSIS OF THE THIGH REGION

How does injection lipolysis work?

The procedure involves the injection of a specially-formulated compound solution (mixture of phosphatidylcholine, deoxycholate with some vitamins and minerals) into the subcutaneous tissue. The injected substance attaches to fatty deposits and works to break them down over time. Then the body naturally flushes out the solution and the dissolved fat.

What are the indications for injection lipolysis?

The treatment is ideally suited for treating smallish, clearly defined zones of fat around the inner or outer thigh or folds under the buttocks in people with normal weight or those who are slightly overweight. However, the lipolysis method is not suitable as a means for general weight reduction or for treating obesity.

What are the contraindications to injection lipolysis?

• pregnancy and breastfeeding
• blood disorders
• kidney diseases
• diabetes
• a known allergy/hypersensitivity to the ingredients of the injection
• active infection near the site of injection
• severe generalised obesity

How is the procedure performed?

After the anaesthetic cream has been applied, the targeted areas are injected with the use of an ultra-fine needle. The whole procedure lasts around 30 minutes. The place of injection becomes red and the patient feels the burning sensation which passes very quickly.

What are the effects of injection lipolysis?

• improved microcirculation
• skin is rejuvenated
• skin becomes better nourished
• improved skin metabolism

How many sessions are needed to achieve the desired effect?

The fat loss occurs gradually, the optimal outcome of the lipolysis will be reached after 3-4 sessions at intervals that are about four weeks apart. However, good results are usually visible after one treatment.

How long does the desired effect last for?

The desired effect lasts for about 12 months.

What are the post-treatment recommendations?

It is recommended to avoid direct sunlight, solarium and sauna, as well as visit to spa, and sports for approximately a week after the treatment.

The treatmet is an ideal supplement to healthy diet and regular exercises. A few sessions of lymphatic drainage (endermologie) are recommended to speed up the process of fat cells removal.

What are the possible adverse effects?

There may also develop minor bruising, sensitivity to touch, pain at the injection site and higher fever in the treated area.
