What is Injection lipolysis?
Injection lipolysis, also known as lipodissolve or mesotherapy, is a revolutionary cosmetic procedure designed to target localized fat deposits and sculpt your body contours without invasive surgery. This innovative technique offers a non-surgical solution for individuals seeking to refine their silhouette and achieve a more streamlined appearance.
How Does Injection Lipolysis Work?
Injection lipolysis involves the use of a specialized solution, typically composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholate (DC), which is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat layer beneath the skin. PC and DC work synergistically to disrupt fat cell membranes, causing them to rupture and release their contents. The liberated fat is then metabolized and eliminated by the body’s natural processes over the following weeks, resulting in a gradual reduction of fat volume in the treated area.
Areas Treated
Injection lipolysis can effectively target stubborn fat deposits in various areas of the body, including:
Abdomen
Flanks (love handles)
Thighs
Buttocks
Upper arms
Chin (double chin)
Bra fat
Back fat
Knees
Ankles
Benefits of Injection Lipolysis
Non-surgical:
Unlike traditional liposuction, injection lipolysis does not require incisions or general anesthesia, making it a minimally invasive alternative with reduced downtime and fewer associated risks.
Precision
The treatment can be customized to target specific areas of concern, allowing for precise sculpting and contouring tailored to your individual aesthetic goals.
Natural-looking results
As fat is gradually metabolized by the body, results appear gradually, resulting in a more natural-looking transformation without sudden changes in appearance.
Minimal discomfort
Patients typically experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, with any discomfort usually limited to mild stinging or burning sensations at the injection site, which resolve quickly.
Quick recovery
Most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, with minimal downtime required for recovery.
Stimulates collagen production
In addition to reducing fat volume, injection lipolysis can stimulate collagen production in the treated area, improving skin elasticity and texture for a smoother, firmer appearance.
The Procedure
During the procedure, a qualified healthcare provider will first assess your candidacy for injection lipolysis and discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations. After marking the targeted areas for treatment, a series of injections will be administered using fine needles to deliver the lipolytic solution into the subcutaneous fat layer.
Post-Treatment Care
Following the procedure, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. It is essential to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your provider, which may include wearing compression garments and avoiding strenuous activities for a brief period.
Result
While individual results may vary, most patients begin to notice visible improvements in the treated areas within a few weeks following treatment, with optimal results typically achieved after multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. The gradual nature of fat reduction with injection lipolysis ensures a smoother transition and more natural-looking outcome.
Pre-Care Guidelines
To get the best results and reduce the risk of side effects:
- Schedule a consultation at Arna Clinic to discuss medical history, allergies, and treatment expectations.
- Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, certain supplements) for 3–5 days before treatment — but only after checking with your doctor.
- Refrain from alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours prior.
- Keep the area clean and free from lotions or makeup on the day of your appointment.
- Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated for healthy skin and tissue.
Post-Care Guidelines
After your injections:
- Mild redness, swelling, or bruising is normal — it usually settles in a few days.
- Apply a cold compress if advised by your dermatologist to reduce swelling.
- Keep the treated area clean and avoid vigorous massage or pressure for 48 hours.
- Drink plenty of water to help your body flush out released fat.
- Avoid intense workouts, saunas, or hot tubs for at least 24–48 hours.
- Follow any medication or cream schedule recommended by your Dermatology specialist.
- Attend all follow-up sessions to monitor progress and decide if additional treatments are needed.
