Lipolysis is the process of breaking down triglycerides in adipose tissue. It produces fatty acids and glycerol, which are released into the bloodstream and metabolized. In beauty salons, the so-called injection lipolysis is performed, i.e. a procedure to remove unnecessary fat from a given part of the body with a series of injections with a substance that dissolves, releases into the blood and excretes fat cells from the body.
What is injection lipolysis?
Injection lipolysis is a non-invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia. A solution of substances such as phosphatidicholine, deaxycholate, L-carnitine and organic silica is introduced into the adipose tissue accumulated in a given place (most often on the abdomen, arms and thighs) with a thin needle. Phosphatidycholine and deaxycholate are used in anti-embolism therapy – they dissolve fatty blockages. L-carnitine causes faster absorption of fats and their subsequent excretion from the body.
The metabolic processes after injection lipolysis can also be accelerated with the help of lymphatic massage, recommended as a supplement to the lipolysis treatment.
In order to achieve an optimal effect, injection lipolysis is usually repeated two or three times with an interval of several weeks.
