Lipolysis Injection Method

Lipolysis injection procedures typically include: the doctor cleaning the injection area, marking the injection points, and injecting the lipolytic solution into the fat layer through multiple subcutaneous injections. This solution breaks down fat cell membranes, causing them to decompose and be eliminated through metabolism.  During the process, the skin is pinched to minimize pain, and the needle is inserted and withdrawn quickly. Swelling, bruising, and pain may occur after the injection. It is important to remain relaxed and follow the doctor's instructions for subsequent care and treatment to achieve the desired fat reduction effect.

Injection Steps

Cleaning and Marking: The doctor cleans the injection area and marks the areas with thicker fat and the injection points with a marker pen.

Pinching and Injecting: The skin is pinched up about 3 centimeters to facilitate injection and reduce pain.

Rapid Needle Insertion: The needle is quickly and decisively inserted into the subcutaneous fat layer to avoid increased pain from slow insertion.

Small Amounts at Multiple Points: The lipolytic solution is injected at multiple points in the designated area.

Needle Removal: After the injection is complete, the needle is quickly withdrawn along the same path.

Cleaning: The local area is cleaned again after the injection.

Injection Principle and Effects

Principle: Lipolysis injections (such as those containing phosphatidylcholine) are injected directly into the subcutaneous fat, stimulating fat breakdown and breaking down fat cells into small molecules, which are then eliminated through the lymphatic system.

Effects: The destroyed fat cells will not regenerate, but if subsequent diet and exercise are not proper, the remaining fat can still enlarge.  Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is necessary to maintain the results.

Precautions and Reactions

Pain and Discomfort: Pain will be felt during the injection, and significant swelling, bruising, redness, and lumps may occur after the injection. These are normal reactions caused by drug stimulation.

Professional Operation: Lipolysis injections are a medical cosmetic procedure and must be performed by a professional doctor.  Operation by non-professionals carries high risks.

Side Effects: There are risks of local depressions, infection, and allergic reactions.

Treatment Course: Multiple injections are usually required (several weeks apart), and may need to be combined with other procedures (such as thermal lifting) to achieve better shaping results.
