Fat reduction (injection lipolysis)

A relatively new method (also known as flab-jab, body contouring, lipomelt-therapy and fett-weg-spritze), criticised by some plastic surgeons as supposedly harmful, has been proven to be exactly opposite through extensive studies. That’s why experts have formed Network Lipolysis, with around 1000 members in 44 countries that systematically study the effects of the drug phosphatidylcholine.

The active substance in lipolysis is phosphatidylcholine (lypostabil), used as a drug for fat emboly, but also for some liver diseases and lipid disorders. It is a great antioxidant and completely natural, since we have it in our bodies, acting as a detergent. The reason for the lack of interest by the pharmaceutical industry in further research and development is because it’s (too) cheap compared to new generation expensive antilipemics. It is important for injections to be administered by a physician educated in mezotherapy and lipolysis, to avoid complications. See more at www.network-lipodissolve.com

The treatments should be repeated at a four to eight week period, depending on the effects. Lipolysis is used to dissolve:

• Fat deposits on the hips and stomach
• Fat deposits on the inner thigh and above the knee
• Fat deposits on the back and around the shoulder blade

Also, lipolysis is ideal for leveling fat tissue that might remain after a liposuction.

With mezotherapy treatments that deal with cellulite, mezocellulite, we usually combine lipolysis, thus achieving excellent results.

CELLULITE

The treatment of cellulite at the Orlando Polyclinic is done with mezotherapy. The affected tissue is locally administered with injections of active substances that stimulate circulation, dissolve fat and strengthen the tissue.

The treatment takes around 15-30 minutes once a week. It takes 6-10 treatments for a good result. During the treatments, exposure to the Sun and suntan parlors should be avoided, as should saunas. One should drink lots of fluids and abstain from fast food, and manual lymph drainage is recommended to further stimulate substance circulation.

With mezotherapy cellulite treatment we recommend a parallel injection lipolysis for persistent fat deposits.
