Fat Dissolving Injections
Fat dissolving injections, also known as intralipotherapy is a minimally invasive medical procedure used for targeted fat reduction.
Both safe and effective, fat dissolving injections are designed to reduce the fat cells in a targeted area. They provide long-lasting results for patients helping them banish unwanted wobbly bits and feel more confident and empowered.
Fat dissolving injections is a form of mesotherapy and is effective for use in treating small, exercise resistant pockets of fat including, the chin, chest, thighs, abdomen, and ankles. Whilst fat dissolving injections are very effective for contouring, they are not a weight loss solution.
What do they do?
Fat dissolving injections are made up from several refined plant-based compounds. An injectable substance known Aqualyx, which is made from the deoxycholate family of acids penetrates and dissolves the membranes of fat cells.
The fat cells then become unstable and are forced to break open. The fatty acids contained within that cell are then eliminated through the body’s immune system and liver.
Who are fat dissolving injections suitable for?
Before looking at performing fat dissolving injections on a client, you should hold a pre-consultation to understand their concerns, and determine whether it is a safe solution for them.
Generally speaking, they are safe for those maintaining a healthy lifestyle, with small stubborn areas of fat, then this treatment is suitable. However, if the patient is overweight, these injections may not be considered safe or suitable, and that patient might be best undergoing a body sculpting procedure.
During the consultation, you should also look into the patients medical background as there are certain conditions that will impact whether treatment is safe. These include:
Diabetes.
Liver or kidney disease.
Active skin problem in the area to be treated is present.
On blood thinning medicine e.g warfarin.
