Back to: Lipolysis
Lipolysis is a non-surgical method for removing excess fat deposits, i.e. reducing adipose tissue. This method is usually applied to areas of the body where fat deposits are difficult to remove regardless of exercise and diet. Lipolysis is intended for people who have a healthy weight and pronounced fat deposits on certain parts of the body.
Types of lipolysis
There are two types of lipolysis - the injection form and the laser form. The injectable form of lipolysis involves the injection of an active substance into adipose tissue that melts fat, after which these fats are expelled from the body naturally. Laser lipolysis, on the other hand, uses laser energy to break down fat cells, after which the fat deposits are expelled from the body.
Who is lipolysis treatment intended for and when are the effects visible?
Lipolysis is usually used to treat areas of the body such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, arms and chin. Lipolysis treatment lasts a few hours and can be performed on an outpatient basis. After the treatment, the patient may feel slight discomfort or pain in the treated area, but this condition can be alleviated with analgesics. The results of lipolysis are usually noticed after a few weeks, and the full effects are seen after a few months. Although lipolysis can be effective in reducing fat deposits, it is important to remember that this method is not intended for weight loss. Lipolysis is only used to reduce localized fat deposits, while body weight must still be regulated through healthy diet and exercise. As with any other medical procedure, there is a risk of side effects and complications with lipolysis. However, these side effects are usually mild and include swelling, bruising and redness in the treated area. It is important that patients considering lipolysis be sure to speak with an expert to determine if they are good candidates for this method and if it is safe for them.
