Treatment

Lipolytic Injections

Lipolytic injections are used to treat the subcutaneous fat layer. In other words, they are a non-surgical way to reduce fat in the body.

The treatment breaks down fat cells which are then passed through the lymphatic system. The primary ingredient in lipolytic injections is deoxycholic acid.

Consultation

In our consultation, we’ll discuss the benefits of lipolytic injections. These include that they are good for the chin, arms, thighs, stomach and love handles.

The treatment session is dependent on the patient’s current fat storage. It is recommended that lipolytic injections are used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Lipolytic injections can be received once per month, for a total of three months. As the treatment is non-surgical, there is no expected downtime for the patient following treatment.

Depending on the area, either a cannula or a needle may be used to administer the injection.

After Treatment / Follow-Up

After treatment, the treated areas may be swollen and tender for a few weeks.

This treatment aids fat loss if used in conjunction with a healthy diet. It is beneficial for areas which are difficult to exercise.
