Fat Dissolving

Fat-dissolving treatments, also known as lipolysis, are non-surgical procedures designed to reduce localized fat deposits. Here are some common methods and key points about these treatments: 1. Injection Lipolysis (e.g., Kybella): • Active Ingredient: The primary active ingredient is usually deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps break down fat. • Procedure: The substance is injected directly into the targeted fat area, where it works to break down fat cells, which are then metabolized and eliminated by the body. • Uses: Commonly used for treating areas like the double chin, thighs, abdomen, and flanks. • Sessions: Multiple sessions might be required, spaced weeks apart. • Side Effects: Swelling, bruising, redness, pain at the injection site, and, in rare cases, nerve injury.
