Injection lipolysis – for whom?

Aesthetic medicine is becoming increasingly popular in the world. Treatments that do not require a recovery period from customers are desirable. One of the main aesthetic problems among women is excessive fat tissue and cellulite. There are many treatments that eliminate this defect.

Injection lipolysis is an innovative treatment that is worth paying attention to.

Injection lipolysis is a procedure that allows you to reduce fat locally, and is also an excellent alternative to lipoplasty. Which is why it has gained the name of so-called “Scalp-free liposuction”. To avoid negative emotions, pain associated with liposuction or postoperative complications. As well as a long recovery period, a treatment was created that focuses on reducing,  a small area of ​​accumulated fat and permanently destroying fat cells.

The basic active ingredient that forms the basis of the injected preparation is phosphatidylcholine. Which is a mixture of glycerol, fatty acids and choline.
Its functions are the emulsification of fat from the diet, thanks to which it plays an important role in its digestion. Affects cholesterol metabolism and fat cell membrane integrity, contributes to the breakdown of triacylglycerols into glycerol and fatty acids, thanks to lipase enzymes. The process of phosphatidylcholine action is to damage the membranes of adipocytes and release their interior (triacylglycerols). In such a way that they cannot be renewed. The released cell content is discharged to the liver, where individual compounds are metabolised. And some of them are transported to the kidneys.
It is reported that phosphatidylcholine contributes to the formation of new collagen fibers, which causes increased skin tone. Other ingredients in injectable lipolysis preparations are deoxycholate; used with phosphatidylcholine guarantees greater effectiveness of the treatment, sodium chloride; solvent, vasodilator compounds e.g. buflomedil, group B vitamins.

Studies show that the most noticeable effects occur in the:

chin, throat, neck, shoulders, abdomen, side, back, outer thigh, inner thigh, knees and buttock area. “Soft” fat tissue reacts much better to injection lipolysis than compacted. Despite the fact that the injections are made to adipose tissue. It is reported that the most superficial ones eliminate bulges, cellulite, and smooth; unevenness, irregularity on the skin surface even after liposuction.

Injection lipolysis is not preferred in areas of the body where fat tissue and skin irregularities are extensive, and obesity also occurs!
