Lipolytic substances

For fat tissue melting phosphatidylcholine is most often used, which is applied into the dermis through microinjections. Phosphatidylcholine is an enzyme that dissolves fat into small parts. It is then naturally eliminated from the body. Mostly we gain it from soybean extract. Sometimes there are added other substances into the solution – deoxycholate, also nonsteroid antiphlogistics, antibiotics or hormones.

Lipo dissolve treatment

The actual treatment is relatively simple and safe. It is performed either by a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. After previous consultation, during which the treatment is planned and the surgeon can recommend elimination of some drugs, the patient comes to the surgeon’s clinic. Injection lipolysis is an outpatient procedure and the patient goes home right after the treatment. The application itself takes about 30 minutes. There are applied several injections with lipolytic substance into the dermis of the given body part. The treatment is painless, so it is not performed under anesthesia, not even a local anesthesia.

After the treatment it is necessary to drink a lot (at least two liters of water a day), so that the dissolved fat could flow out from the body easily. It is also good to be on a diet and exercise enough. During the first days after the procedure there might be visible swelling or small hematomas and redness in the place of injection. They fade away soon though. The treated area can stay sensitive and painful for two or three days. The effect of injection lipolysis is visible in about 4 weeks. It also depends on the structure of dermal tissue and its blood supply. For desired effect it is necessary to repeat the treatment two to ten times in an interval of several weeks. Compared to invasive procedures it is not necessary to stay in calm.

Side effects of Lipo dissolve

There is still the question, what can the released fat cause inside the human organism. It can stay inside the vessels and cause atherosclerosis. Metabolism of large amount of fat inside the liver can cause its steatosis and subsequent failure. Among other risks belong necrosis of the dermis after the injection etc. In people that undergone injection lipolysis, you can see small holes on the skin.

Treatment by lipolytic injections can’t be made in pregnant women or breastfeeding women, in diabetics, in patients with autoimmune and vascular diseases or during running infection.
