Injection lipolysis - what is it?

Subcutaneous fat becomes a problem when its structure becomes heterogeneous and turns into cellulite. Physical exercises and diets are practically powerless in this case, since the processes of splitting fat cells are disrupted due to the fragmentation of cellulite deposits and disturbances in these areas of blood supply, due to which access to lipolytic fat cells and the outflow of fatty tissue breakdown products occurs.

For the purpose of forced splitting of cellulite deposits in cosmetology, a lipolysis procedure is used, when synthetic lipolytics are injected into the tissues of the subcutaneous fatty tissue - substances that destroy adipocyte fat cells, and thus "dissolve" islets of cellulite.

Injection lipolysis (injections against cellulite) is carried out on various parts of the body: face, arms, chest, abdomen, thighs, buttocks and any other places where foci of cellulite have formed. The basis of modern drugs for lipolysis is sodium deoxycholate, which is a lipolytic. All other components of the injectable lipolytic are auxiliary substances that improve the condition of the surrounding tissues at the injection site and contribute to the rapid spread of the drug in the tissues and the healing of the injection sites.

The essence of the injection lipolysis procedure is reduced to breaking cellulite accumulations into areas and "melting" damaged fat cells - the rest of the work will be completed by the body itself - it will remove decay products and eliminate inflammation.

Injections are carried out to a depth of one to ten centimeters, depending on the thickness of the fat layer. Punctures and administration of the drug are carried out with a distance of one centimeter, that is, extensive areas of cellulite may take time and several ampoules of the substance.

The injection lipolysis procedure is quite painful, and there is a possibility of local anesthesia (an anesthetic is taken into the injector together with a lipolytic drug, or the injection site is pretreated with an anesthetic). But doctors recommend carrying out the procedure without anesthesia for greater efficiency, since the anesthetic slows down natural biochemical processes.

It is permissible to carry out injection lipolysis at home. To do this, you must have injection skills and maintain sterility. For self-injection lipolysis, it is convenient to purchase an automatic injector, the use of which makes the procedure less painful.

Lipolytic injections can cause side effects and be accompanied by swelling, redness, bruising, itching, burning, short-term pain, and fever.

The most complex consequences of injection lipolysis (nausea and urge to vomit, allergic reaction, persistent inflammation, tissue necrosis, tissue infection) require a preliminary examination of the patient's condition and the identification of contraindications to this kind of injections. For example, to prevent the development of an allergic reaction to a lipolytic, it is administered as an allergy test and the reaction of the body and the condition of the tissues at the site of the test are monitored.

The injection lipolysis procedure is carried out no more than once a week and requires rehabilitation in several days, during which it is prohibited:

overheating of the body (sauna, sunbathing),
the use of vasodilators (including alcohol),
use of creams, masks, cosmetics and body care products at injection sites so that foreign ingredients do not get into the puncture sites,
massage, fitness training is contraindicated.
