Needle lipolysis is an injection treatment method that destroys fat cell membranes and fat cells, reducing the thickness of fat tissue. Excess fat is melted by injecting medications into the fat tissue. This process is called needle lipolysis. Phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate are used in this treatment. Both substances are found in the human body. The phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate used in the treatment work to burn excess fat and cholesterol in the body. In ancient times, needle lipolysis treatment was also performed on patients with high cholesterol and fat levels using these substances. These substances are administered intravenously. Deoxycholate (DC) is actually a table salt, and phosphatidylcholine (PC), a bile salt, increases its solubility in water. Needle lipolysis applications are named according to the application areas: chin lipolysis, abdominal lipolysis, leg lipolysis, back lipolysis, and arm lipolysis.
Injection lipolysis, also known as fat dissolving injections, is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses injectable solutions to break down localized fat cells. The destroyed fat cells are naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.
Ideal candidates for injection lipolysis treatment are individuals with stubborn localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. It is suitable for areas such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks.
Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions of injection lipolysis, spaced several weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and the amount of fat. Results gradually improve over time.
When performed by a trained medical professional using approved products, injection lipolysis is generally safe. Temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site is common and usually resolves within a few days.
Injection lipolysis involves minimal downtime. Patients can return to daily activities shortly after treatment, although swelling or mild discomfort may last for a few days.
