How Do Fat-Dissolving Injections Work?
Fat-dissolving injections, also known as injection lipolysis, involve administering an active ingredient directly into the thigh’s fat tissue using a minimally invasive technique. This active ingredient, typically a combination of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate, breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Lipolysis is especially effective for localized fat deposits in typical “problem areas” like thighs, hips, or abdomen.
Treatment Process
Consultation and Planning:
Your journey in Zurich begins with an in-depth consultation. During this session, we’ll review your medical history, thoroughly examine your thighs, and discuss your desired outcomes. We’ll explain the treatment process in detail, address any potential side effects, and answer all your questions.
The Treatment:
Fat-dissolving injections are performed in a calm and comfortable treatment room. The targeted area is first disinfected and marked. Next, small amounts of the active ingredient are precisely injected into the tissue. The procedure typically takes no more than 30 minutes.
Results:
After the treatment, mild swelling or small bruises may occur, which are completely normal and subside within a few days. Most patients can continue their daily activities as usual. Over the following weeks, as the dissolved fat is metabolized and eliminated by the body, you’ll notice a sleeker, more defined silhouette. Several sessions are usually required for optimal results.
What Causes Saddle Bags?
Saddle bags are fat deposits on the outer thighs, primarily seen in women. These deposits often don’t respond well to diet or exercise. Genetics and hormonal factors, particularly estrogen, play a significant role in their formation.
Preventive measures, such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, proper hydration, and avoiding tight clothing, may slow their development but rarely achieve the desired results. Tight clothing, in particular, can impair blood flow and contribute to the formation of additional fat deposits.
