Non-Surgical Methods for Fat Reduction
1. Fat Dissolving Injections
Procedure
:
Involves injecting medications into areas where fat accumulates (e.g., lower abdomen, inner thighs, arms).
Non-invasive method to target localized fat deposits.
Injected substances break down fat cell membranes, releasing contents to be eliminated via lymphatic system.
Small inflammatory response aids in fat breakdown and improves skin elasticity.
Ingredients
:
Includes Asic acid, Al GPC, honic acid, steroids.
Works to destroy fat cells and enhance metabolism.
Sessions
:
Typically requires 3-5 sessions, spaced two weeks apart.
Effects noticeable within a week and can last 6 to 12 months, depending on individual factors.
Advantages
:
Minimal bruising and swelling compared to HPL.
Little downtime.
2. HPL (Hypertonic Physiological Lipolysis)
Procedure
:
Uses osmotic principles for fat destruction.
Hypotonic solution injected into fat cells, causing them to swell and break down.
Fat eliminated through lymphatic system, primarily via urination.
Additions
:
Ultrasound or laser treatment can be added to enhance reactions.
Sessions
:
Typically spaced 1-2 weeks apart.
3-5 sessions, lasting 10-30 minutes each.
Benefits
:
Effective for reducing localized fat without surgery.
No need for anesthesia, quick recovery.
Precautions
:
Bruising and swelling possible.
Dietary control essential for improved reactions.
Indications for Fat Dissolving Injections
Suitable for individuals concerned with specific fat areas (lower abdomen, inner thigh, arms).
Effective for mild to moderate fat accumulations.
Ideal for healthy adults preferring non-surgical methods.
Can improve appearance of cellulite.
Precautions and Considerations
Consultation
:
Important to consult medical staff about allergies, pregnancy, or other conditions.
Contraindicated for pregnant/breastfeeding individuals.
Expectations
:
Set realistic expectations and be cautious of steroid side effects (e.g., abnormal bleeding, skin atrophy).
Choose treatments that target both fat size and number for longer-lasting effects.
Complementary Treatments
Additional therapies (ultrasound, radio frequency, Shockwave therapy) can enhance results.
Essential to combine treatments with healthy diet and exercise for maximum effectiveness.
Conclusion
Importance of healthy lifestyle alongside chosen treatments for lasting results.
Encouragement to maintain balanced diet and exercise routine.
