Fat lipolysis injection in Zurich

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).

Injection lipolysis also evens out irregularities that have arisen from previous fat reduction treatments (e.g. liposuction, cryolipolysis).

FAQ

What is a fat lipolysis injection and how does it work?

Fat removal injection is a minimally invasive method for removing unwanted fatty tissue. The advantage over classic liposuction is that it does not require any surgical intervention and therefore there is no scarring. The injection of a special active ingredient breaks down fat cells, which are then transported via the lymph vessels to the liver where they are metabolised. For this reason, this form of treatment is also called injection lipolysis. The active ingredient phosphatidylcholine, which is obtained from soybeans, is often used. The injection of the active ingredient causes inflammation in the corresponding areas of the body, which unfolds the fat-dissolving effect. The most effective way to use the fat-removal injection is when it is applied to small fat deposits on the face or body.

What side effects can occur with the fat lipolysis injection?

When done professionally, fat-blasting is basically a very sustainable and low-risk treatment. Common side effects can include swelling and sore muscles. In extremely rare cases, allergies to the active ingredient or fatty tissue necrosis can occur.

Is the injection of the fat lipolysis injection painful?

Before the treatment, we apply a strong anaesthetic cream for 15 to 20 minutes. This means that the injection is hardly painful.

How long does the lipolysis Injection last?

According to current knowledge, once fat cells are dissolved, they do not form again. Thus, it is possible to reduce fat deposits permanently as long as there is no weight gain.

How long does it take for the fat lipolysis injection to work?

Typically, two to three lipolysis treatments spaced six to eight weeks apart are necessary to achieve optimal results. These results become visible after the swelling from the last treatment subsides. In approximately 10% of cases, treatment with the fat-dissolving injection leads to no or not the desired result. The reasons for this can be a resistance to the combination of active ingredients or dietary errors.

What do I have to keep in mind after the fat lipolysis injection injection?

To stimulate the metabolism and thus accelerate the reduction of fat reserves, it is recommended to drink plenty of water and exercise a lot during the first days after the treatment. You should avoid massages and sauna visits for the first 3 days. For about 4 weeks, the treated areas should only be exposed to the sun with strong sun protection.
