All FAQs on Lypolysis
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a few days. Since Lypolysis uses naturally occurring substances, the risk of allergic reactions is low.
What is Lypolysis, and how does it work?
Lypolysis is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that uses targeted injections of phosphatidylcholine (PC) or deoxycholate (DC) to break down fat cells. Once injected into stubborn fat areas, these substances disrupt the fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the dissolved fat through metabolic processes.
Which areas can Lypolysis treat?
Lypolysis is ideal for treating areas with stubborn fat deposits, including the chin, abdomen, thighs, love handles, back, and arms. It provides a precise and effective solution for contouring various parts of the body.
How long does it take to see results from Lypolysis?
Visible results typically start to appear after 3-4 weeks as your body naturally metabolizes and eliminates the dissolved fat cells. Optimal results are usually seen after a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart.
How many sessions of Lypolysis will I need?
The number of sessions required depends on the size of the treatment area and your individual goals. Typically, 2-4 sessions are recommended for noticeable results, but this may vary based on your specific needs.
Is Lypolysis painful?
Lypolysis is a minimally invasive. A local anesthetic is applied to the treatment area before the injections to ensure you remain comfortable during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising post-treatment, but these effects are temporary.
How is Lypolysis different from other fat reduction treatments?
Unlike invasive procedures like liposuction, Lypolysis requires no surgery or recovery time. It is also more targeted than some other non-surgical fat reduction methods, as it specifically focuses on smaller, stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise.
Who is an ideal candidate for Lypolysis?
Lipolysis is ideal for individuals who are close to their target weight but struggle with localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. It’s important to note that Lipolysis is not a weight loss treatment but a contouring solution for stubborn fat.
Are there any side effects?
