INTRALIPOTHERAPY
Injection lipolysis (Intralipotherapy) is a non-surgical method of removing fat in a specific area of the body. It allows the removal of excess fatty tissue in places where it is difficult to get rid of it through diet or physical activity. It is a perfect option for patients who want to shape their figure. Injection lipolysis allows the dissolution of fat cell membranes, which causes them to be degraded and then transported to the liver and later excreted by the kidneys.
Injectable lipolysis (intralipotherapy) is a minimally invasive, non-surgical method of removing localized body fat, involving the injection of special preparations directly into problematic areas. The injections allow for precise administration and even distribution of the active substance, resulting in better outcomes. The most commonly used active ingredient is phosphatidylcholine, which acts on fat cells. The active ingredients administered during injectable lipolysis dissolve the cell membranes of fat cells, leading to their degradation, and are then transported to the liver and naturally excreted from the body through the kidneys.
During injectable lipolysis, a large amount of the preparation cannot be administered at once. Therefore, the procedure is carried out in stages. The amount of preparation used during the procedure depends on the amount of fatty tissue in the treated area and the patient's expectations. The necessary amount of preparation for the procedure is determined by the doctor during the pre-treatment consultation.
The procedure is performed using thin needles, minimizing patient discomfort. It is carried out in outpatient settings and usually takes between 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Injectable lipolysis is a procedure that allows for effective removal of locally accumulated body fat from selected body areas. The procedure is most commonly performed on areas such as: - Double chin (jawline contouring), - Arms around the triceps, - Folds of fat on the abdomen, - Thighs or hips. Injectable lipolysis can also be performed in the following areas: - Fat pads in the armpit area, - Fat accumulation on the neck (so-called buffalo hump), - Folds on the back (love handles), - Hips, - Saddlebags, - Gluteal region, - Inner side of knees, - Lipomas. Intralipotherapy is a very precise procedure, allowing the doctor to focus on problematic areas. This procedure is characterized by high effectiveness and a short recovery period, enabling patients to quickly return to their daily activities. It is worth noting that intralipotherapy is a slimming and body contouring treatment that allows for the reduction of fat deposits in selected areas that are difficult to sculpt through diet and exercise. Therefore, it should not be seen as a weight loss method, but rather as support in achieving the desired results in weight loss.
The effects of the procedure become visible gradually, usually around 3-4 weeks after the treatment significant reduction of fat tissue can be noticed. It is important to emphasize that to achieve satisfactory results, it is necessary to undergo a series of 3 to 6 sessions of injection lipolysis at intervals of 3-6 weeks. If the amount of fat tissue is small, even 2 sessions may be sufficient to achieve the desired results. Most patients are satisfied with the effects after 2-3 sessions. Completing a series of treatments can lead to a loss of even 4-5 cm in circumference in the area where the injection was administered.
The cost of injection lipolysis treatment depends on several factors, such as the body area being treated, the number of sessions required, and the quantity and type of solution used. Prices start at 500 PLN for a single session for treatment on the chin. The final cost of injection lipolysis is determined by the number of ampoules used during the treatment. It is worth remembering that to achieve optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended.
