Fat dissolving injections, also known as injectable lipolysis or lipotropic injections, are a non-surgical method designed to reduce localized fat deposits. The most common substance used in these injections is deoxycholic acid, which is a bile acid that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
Here’s a bit more detail on how it works:
Mechanism: Deoxycholic acid targets and destroys fat cells in the treated area. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they are metabolized and removed by the body’s natural processes.
Procedure: The treatment involves a series of injections directly into the fatty areas. The number of sessions required can vary depending on the area being treated and the amount of fat to be reduced.
Areas Treated: Common areas for treatment include the double chin, abdomen, thighs, and flanks. It’s not generally used for large areas or for significant weight loss but rather for contouring specific areas.
Results: Results are typically gradual and can take several weeks to become fully apparent. Patients often see improvement after a few sessions, with optimal results usually visible within a few months.
Side Effects: Common side effects can include swelling, bruising, pain at the injection site, and redness. These are generally temporary and resolve on their own.
Considerations: It’s important to have realistic expectations and consult with a qualified professional who can evaluate whether you’re a good candidate for the treatment.
As with any cosmetic procedure, the outcomes can vary, and it’s crucial to discuss your goals and potential risks with your healthcare provider.
