The therapy is not intended as a means of weight reduction but is a way of getting rid of unwanted localised deposits of fat, e.g. double chin, fat on the thighs, belly and upper arms.

It is best suited for areas of soft fat on the belly, the face, the inside of the thighs, the back and hips. This therapy also achieves good results.

The fat that have once been dissolved do not return. This means that the fat deposits concerned are permanently reduced. Provided your weight remains unchanged, the results of the lipolysis treatment should also remain constant.

It achieves a permanent reduction in fat deposits, especially in those places that cannot be specifically targeted by dieting or sport. The treatment is gentle, virtually pain-free, low in risk, and does not take long. Complicated pre- or post-treatment is necessary. Nor is ability to work impaired, except perhaps in the case of facial treatment.

For a long time, liposuction was the only means for removing accumulations of fat. But with the aid of injection lipolysis, it has now become possible to eliminate smallish deposits of fat with minimum intervention and minimum stress to the body. The main difference is that injection lipolysis is a non-operative method of treatment, whereas liposuction involves a surgical procedure. With liposuction, the fat disappears almost immediately. Injection lipolysis allows a slower change to the body contour, allowing the patients also to gradually get used to their change in appearance over a period of several months. Injection lipolysis is also an ideal method of treatment following liposuction in order to remove any remaining fatty tissue and also tauten the surrounding skin.

3-4 treatments at intervals of 2-4 weeks

As there are few nerve fibres in the subcutaneous tissue, the injections are not painful. Patients only feel a slight initial prick and, for the first 2 hours, a slight sensation of itching and burning.
