What is lipolysis?
Lipolysis is a medical injection procedure used to melt localized fat deposits. Lipolysis is performed to reduce the volumes created by the accumulation of fat cells in certain regions. Particular regions are reshaped (stomach, hips, legs, knees, arms and chin).
What does lipolysis treatment look like and how many treatments are required?
The treatment is performed by injecting lipolytics directly into localized fat deposits using ultra-thin needles. This causes the reduction of these fat deposits thus reshaping the desired region-stomach, hips, legs, knees, etc. Lipolysis is a safe and painless procedure that lasts briefly. A series of 3 to 6 treatments is required to achieve the desired effect, and the procedure is repeated after four weeks.
How does lipolysis work?
Unlike the classic diet, lipolysis results in complete decomposition of the fat cells (adipocytes). Lipolysis causes the decomposition of the fat cell wall and connective barrier, thus preventing fat deposits to accumulate again in the treated region.
1. Lipolytics cause fat cells to melt and release fatty acids.
2. Lipolytics hydrolyze fatty acids and thus making them soluble in the liquid.
3. Fatty acids outside fat cells are a signal for macrophages (body cleaners) to come to the place of action and transport fatty acids to the liver where they are further metabolized.
