Injection lipolysis isn’t limited to the body. It can also be used on the face, for example in order to remove a double chin or sagging cheeks. Mind you, there are also a number of areas on the body where stubborn fat deposits can at least be reduced in size by an injection: in the abdomen, buttocks and thighs, as well as on the back and chest in men.
The active ingredient phosphatidylcholine is injected directly into the fatty tissue, disintegrating both the fat cells and the fat molecules stored in them. The decomposition products are broken down and excreted by the body. This procedure can be repeated two to four times at intervals of eight weeks. A lasting effect is achieved after a few weeks.
Injection lipolysis can also be used to deal with irregularities resulting from previous fat removal procedures such as liposuction and cryolipolysis (fat freezing).
