LIPOLYSIS for Fat & Cellulite Reduction

Reduce Fat deposits with Injection Lipolysis Therapy... the easiest way to get rid of your problem fat areas! Potentially reduce excess fat ....with lipolysis injections.

When you look at yourself, do you see certain parts of your body that you are not altogether happy with? Even with iron discipline, dieting and special exercise, there are certain regions that you simply can't change.

What is special about injection Lipolysis is that it allows you to decide which particular deposits of fat should go.

Injection Lipolysis therapy can help you to get rid of smaller deposits of fat that are susceptible neither to change in diet nor special exercise and not just temporarily, but permanently.

This form of treatment therefore offers an ideal addition to dieting and physical exercise. It can also be used to accompany your efforts in combating medium-sized fat deposits and possibly following liposuction therapy, lipolysis can be used as a means for dealing with any remaining fat deposits as well as smoothing out bumps, hollows and steps.

Good success can, if the correct injection technique is applied, also be achieved in treating cellulite because, as the fat cells dissolve, the skin also contracts elastically to leave a smooth, homogeneous surface. In general, lipolysis therapy is ideally suited for treating smallish, clearly defined zones of fat.

However, the lipolysis method is not suitable as a means for general weight reduction or for treating obesity. Simply put, lipolysis for body areas, is actually a great way to look better in clothes.

But, in these cases also, it can be used as a supplementary treatment for dealing with problems in specific, defined regions. Lipolysis can, for instance, be used to bring relief by reducing excessive fat in the area of the upper belly that restricts the breathing, or by eliminating rolls of fat that cause discomfort for bra wearers. Reducing a double chin, hanging jowls or a “bull neck” on the upper back can frequently have a highly positive effect on ones psychological wellbeing.

A healthy energy controlled diet together with physical activity will assist in achieving potentially positive treatment results.

FAQ's:

Can I lose weight with injection lipolysis?

The therapy is not intended as a means of weight reduction but is a way of getting rid of unwanted localised deposits of fat, e.g. double chin, fat on the thighs, belly and upper arms.

Which regions of the body are especially suited for injection lipolysis?

Lipolysis is best suited for areas of soft fat on the belly, the neck directly under the chin, the inside of the thighs, the back and hips. Injection lipolysis therapy can also achieve good results on cellulite.

Are the deposits of fat that are treated with injection lipolysis permanently eliminated? How long do the results last?

According to the current state of knowledge, fat cells that have once been dissolved do not return. This means that the fat deposits concerned are permanently reduced. Provided your weight remains unchanged, the results of the lipolysis treatment should also remain constant.

What are the special advantages of injection lipolysis?

Lipolysis achieves an almost permanent reduction in fat deposits, especially in those places that cannot be specifically targeted by dieting or sport. The treatment is low in risk, and does not take long. Complicated pre or post-treatment is not necessary, nor is the ability to work impaired, except perhaps in the case of facial treatment.

How do I decide whether injection lipolysis or liposuction makes better sense for me?

For a long time, liposuction was the only means for removing accumulations of fat. But with the aid of injection lipolysis, it has now become possible to eliminate smallish deposits of fat with minimum intervention to the body. The main difference is that injection lipolysis is a non-operative method of treatment, whereas liposuction involves a surgical procedure. With liposuction, the fat disappears almost immediately. Injection lipolysis allows a slower change to the body contour, allowing the patients also to gradually get used to their change in appearance over a period of several months. Injection lipolysis is also an ideal method of treatment following liposuction in order to remove any remaining fatty tissue and also tauten the surrounding skin.

How many treatments are necessary?

As a rule, 2-4 treatments at intervals of 6 to 10 weeks approximately.

Is injection lipolysis treatment painful?

As there are a few nerve fibres in the subcutaneous tissue, the injections can possibly be painful. Most patients initially feel a slight pricking sensation. Within the first 5-10 minutes the area will become warm, red and painful. The pain can be dull or even intense and is described as a burning or an ache which can last from 10 minutes to several days. Some patients may need pain-killing tablets on the first night after treatment. Some numbness can also be felt.

Swelling can begin almost immediately following treatment and can worsen over the next several hours. If swelling occurs it can be dramatic and generally abates within a week but some degree of swelling can possibly remain for 4-8 weeks following treatment. Herbal wraps, such as those found in day spas, can greatly speed the decrease in swelling and pain and can be given at 48 hours after treatment.

Nausea reactions can also occur and can last from one to 24 hours.

The above described pain, swelling, nausea and bruising are not considered possible adverse reactions to this procedure.

Do the health insurance funds cover the costs?

As a rule, health insurance funds will not cover any costs for therapy which is of a purely aesthetic nature. If, however, the fat deposits cause health problems such as eczema or breathing difficulties, you should consult with your health insurance fund in advance about the possibility of them assuming the costs.

What should I avoid following treatment?

Massage, sauna visits and sport should be avoided for 48 hours. We would also recommend that you plan your treatment around your schedule and upcoming commitments. Treatment presents no risks if the individual health status and any resulting limitations have been clarified in advance and if you are treated by our doctors who have undergone extensive NETWORK Lipolysis training.

For which people is injection lipolysis treatment not suitable?

Injection lipolysis treatment is not suitable for, and may not be carried out on, adolescents and children, pregnant women and breast-feeding mothers, and on patients with some rare, severe diseases. Dr Anne Charteris will be glad to inform you in detail whether the therapy is suitable for you during a personal consultation.

Positive outcomes to treatments for Fat and Cellulite reduction are dependant on both an honest self assessment of available treatments and the advice of a medical professional who can assess the patients suitability for particular treatments and suggest a possible programme to follow. Skinmedics will generally recommend a combination of individual treatments to suit your particular needs and not just one single approach.
