Understanding the procedure
STRONGER, FASTER, SMARTER
Fat dissolving injections, also known as lipolysis, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to reduce localized fat deposits. It involves injecting a solution into the targeted area to break down fat cells. While it’s not a weight loss solution, it can effectively address stubborn fat pockets.
The procedure itself
- Consultation: Before the procedure, you’ll have a consultation with your healthcare provider to discuss your goals, medical history, and to determine if you’re a suitable candidate.
- Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution.
- Injection: The fat dissolving solution is injected into the targeted area using a fine needle. You may feel a slight pinch or discomfort during the injections.
- Massage: After the injections, the treated area may be massaged to distribute the solution evenly.
What to expect after the procedure
- Swelling and redness: These are common side effects and usually subside within a few days.
- Tenderness and bruising: The treated area may be tender or bruised for a short period.
- Numbness: Temporary numbness is possible in the injection sites.
- Itching: Some patients experience itching in the treated area.
Important considerations
- Multiple sessions: It may take several sessions to achieve desired results.
- Results: Results can vary depending on individual factors.
- Side effects: While generally safe, there is a risk of side effects such as skin irregularities or allergic reactions.
- Qualified provider: It’s crucial to choose a qualified healthcare provider with experience in performing this procedure.
