Lipolysis procedure

Lipolysis today is considered one of the most promising methods of treating cellulite and getting rid of fat deposits. It would seem, why use hardware methods, when there is diet and sports, because they are effective enough for losing weight. However, sometimes women do not get to lose weight in a certain zone - in the abdomen or buttocks, while the rest of the body does not look full. For such cases, lipolysis is the optimal procedure, because it treats a certain problem area that needs correction.

Today there are several types of lipolysis, but the most popular are:

  1. Needle.
  2. Injection.
  3. Ultrasonic.
  4. Laser lipolysis .

All kinds of lipolysis can be divided into two categories: the first are those that affect the surface layer of the skin and do not damage it. And in the second category are those that with the help of small needles violate the integrity of the skin and conduct a substance or impulse.

Injection lipolysis

The essence of this kind of lipolysis is that a special solution is applied to the skin under the skin, which splits fats. This method was first used by a doctor from South America in 1995, and as a drug he used Phosphatidylcholin - this substance is made from soy and by properties is an analogue of the element that is responsible for the metabolism in the body.

The purpose of this method is to accelerate the metabolic processes in a particular area, so that weight loss is more effective.

Injection lipolysis is suitable for the following body parts:

  1. Double chin.
  2. Cheeks.
  3. Lacrimal bags.
  4. Hips.
  5. Buttocks.
  6. Fatty folds of the forearm.
  7. Arms.

The number of necessary procedures depends, first of all, on how large the problem is.

It should also be noted that the needles are inserted sufficiently deep (if compared with mesotherapy) - by 12 mm. Therefore, before the procedure, the skin is treated with an anesthetic.

Also of great importance is the fact that the fat around the muscles is not removed by this procedure, since the active substance should not fall into this area: otherwise it can cause an abscess or necrosis.

Needle lipolysis

The difference between needle-shaped lipolysis and injection is that the needles under the skin conduct a low-frequency current that destroys the fat structure. Also this procedure promotes strengthening of blood circulation and a lymph flow, that means acceleration of a metabolism which, in turn, as a result leads to growing thin. This is one of the types of intracellular lipolysis, which is more effective than the subcutaneous.

To achieve the desired result, an average of 5 such procedures are required.

Ultrasound lipolysis

This kind of lipolysis helps to reduce the volume and get rid of cellulite without damaging the skin: during the procedure, a tube is used that emits ultrasound waves of different frequencies, which penetrate deep, destroy the fat structure. Its advantage in painlessness (during the procedure, the skin is cooled), and therefore can be used on different parts of the body.

Lipolysis of the abdomen is done with ultrasound, because the penetration of needles here is undesirable.

In order to get the desired result, you need about 6 procedures. Their number varies depending on the patient's need and his state of health.

Contraindications to lipolysis

Non-invasive lipolysis has no contraindications except pregnancy, and invasive methods have a number of contraindications:

  1. Skin diseases.
  2. Pregnancy.
  3. Epilepsy.
  4. Oncological diseases.
  5. Thrombophlebitis and some other vascular diseases.
  6. Presence of an implanted pacemaker.
