Fat-dissolving injection is one of the medical diet treatment methods (slimming treatment performed at medical institutions), which is said to destroy and dissolve adipocytes by simply injecting the drug directly into the subcutaneous fat of the face or body .

It acts on extra fat such as under the jaw and upper arm, which is said to be difficult to lose weight with a normal diet such as dietary restrictions, and has the effect of adjusting the line without using a scalpel, while "I do not understand the change" "Internal bleeding There are a lot of reports saying "it has happened".

In order not to regret the fat-soluble injection, it is important to understand the effects and risks/side effects of the fat-soluble injection, such as small face treatment and partial thinning .

Lipolysis injection to reduce fat cells by drug injection

Unlike liposuction, lipolysis injection does not use anesthesia or a scalpel/suction tube. For this reason, it is said that downtime after treatment is short, such as swelling and swelling, partial thinning of the upper arms, etc., acting not only on the cheeks and under the chin but also on the fat on the nose (dango nose), leading to a clean face line. I am.

Fat-soluble injection is also called Mesotherapy, but originally Mesotherapy means "a method of directly injecting a drug subcutaneously". However, because some clinics use mesotherapy as the treatment name, mesotherapy and lipolytic injection are often treated as synonyms.

Since lipolytic injection is performed with an extremely fine needle, it is a relatively painless treatment method, and it is said to have less damage to blood vessels and nerves like liposuction.

Mechanism of fat loss by lipolysis injection

A lipolytic injection is a slimming treatment that helps reduce subcutaneous fat. When a drug is injected into an area of concern, the fat cells in that area are destroyed, and macrophages (cleaning cells in the body that prey on dead cells) are excreted out of the body along with urine and feces .

Destroyed fat cells do not regenerate

Once destroyed, the fat cells will never regenerate.

The symptoms of obesity are caused by the swelling of fat cells, not the increase in fat cells. It is said that the number of adipocytes does not increase or decrease in adults. Therefore, it can be said that reducing fat cells by lipolytic injection also reduces anxious subcutaneous fat .

Benefits of slimming with fat-soluble injections

Less worry about rebound

It is said that the fat cells at the site where the drug was injected by lipolysis injection are excreted outside the body and the number decreases, and the excreted fat cells do not regenerate . However, due to irregular lifestyles such as overdose, overeating, and lack of exercise , fat cells that have not been destroyed and become large may rebound . It is important to keep a healthy diet and exercise appropriately after the fat-soluble injection.

Aim for partial thinning

It is said that partial weight loss is difficult with a personal diet. It is not easy to keep only the fat you want to keep, such as your chest and hips, even if you are on a diet by exercising, because basal metabolic power decreases and you become hard to lose weight if you restrict your diet.

The fat-soluble injection is said to act only on the fat at the drug injection site, so it may be possible to aim for partial weight loss without difficulty .

Smooth cellulite

The irregularities on the skin that appear on the thighs and hip lines are generally called cellulite, but they are said to have the same structure as other subcutaneous fat. Therefore, it can be said that by injecting a drug into the area where cellulite is a concern with a lipolytic injection to destroy and remove fat cells, the unevenness of the skin can be smoothed .

Lead to small face improvement

One of the reasons why the fat on the face is hard to remove is related to the function of the facial muscles.

It is said that the facial muscles used on a daily basis are about 20% to 30%, and if metabolism is reduced by not using the muscles, it may cause swelling and sagging of fat. However, it is necessary to exercise caution because excessive exercise of the facial muscles may have the disadvantages of developing the masseter muscles and stretching the gills. The treatment with fat-dissolving injection destroys and dissolves excess fat on the face, which leads to improvement of sagging due to fat .

As a lipolytic injection around the face, in addition to the small face effect by injecting into the face line and cheeks, the effect of passing the nose muscles and shrinking the nose by injecting into the nose, improving the double chin by injecting below the chin You can expect an effect.

It has been said that lipolytic injections containing PPC as the main component require downtime of 1 to 2 weeks because inflammation and swelling are likely to occur.

If you have a soybean allergy, please consult your doctor in advance.

Deoxycholic acid (DOC)

According to recent research, it is said that there is a report that "the main one that solubilized fat cells was not PPC, but DOC that was added as a solubilizing agent for PPC."

Lipolysis injection is not for the purpose of weight loss, but for the purpose of adjusting the body line.

Choosing an important doctor with a fat-soluble injection procedure

Fat-dissolving injection is a simple slimming treatment that can be performed only by injection. However, delicate medical technology is required to inject the drug into the face with low fat mass.
