1) What are the special advantages of injection lipolysis?
Injection lipolysis achieves a permanent reduction in fat deposits, especially in those places that cannot be specifically targeted by dieting or exercise. The treatment is gentle, virtually pain-free, low risk with no downtime and your ability to work is not impaired.
2) How do I decide whether injection lipolysis or liposuction makes better sense for me?
For a long time, liposuction was the only means for removing accumulations of fat. But with the aid of injection lipolysis, it has now become possible to eliminate small to medium deposits of fat with minimum intervention and minimum stress to the body. The main difference is that injection lipolysis is a non-operative method of treatment, whereas liposuction involves a surgical procedure. With liposuction, the fat disappears almost immediately. Injection lipolysis allows a slower change to the body contour, allowing the patients also to gradually get used to their change in appearance over a period of several months. Injection lipolysis is also an ideal method of treatment following liposuction in order to remove any remaining fatty tissue and also tauten the surrounding skin.
3) How many treatments are necessary and is it painful?
As a rule, most patients require 1-4 treatments at intervals of 8 weeks apart. As there are few nerve fibers in the subcutaneous tissue, the injections are not painful. Patients only feel a slight initial prick and, for the first 2 hours, a slight sensation of itching and/or a tissue warming.
4) When will I be able to see results?
Results may be visible approx 2-4 weeks post treatment with the majority of fat loss occurring between 4-6 weeks. In some instances the patient may not notice anything until after the second treatment. If results are not adequate, there is probably another underlying problem. i.e. toxins are too abundant and need cellular Detox.
