Lipolytic mesotherapy - an effective method for fat and cellulite reduction

Lipolytic mesotherapy is an aesthetic medicine procedure that allows body contouring by locally dissolving fat. Using active ingredients such as phosphatidylcholine, deoxycholic acid, biomimetic peptides or dermaheal LL, this method allows to reduce fat and cellulite, without the need for surgical intervention.

The treatment works especially well for small fat deposits - such as around the chin, flanks, thighs or arms. It can also be used to model the oval of the face, or to level small stretch marks and tighten the skin.

What does lipolytic mesotherapy consist of?

Lipolytic mesotherapy treatment is a form of needle mesotherapy, in which, with the help of a thin needle, a lipolytic preparation with fat cell disrupting effects is injected into the skin. The injection is made directly into the adipose layer (in the area of adipocytes), where the active substances cause the breakdown of fat cells and the release of triglycerides, which are then removed from the body through metabolic processes.

The formulation usually includes:

  • Phosphatidylcholine (soybean derivative) - dissolves cell membranes of adipose tissue (adipocytes)
  • Deoxycholic acid - destroys fat cells
  • Peptides - accelerate cell metabolism and tighten the skin
  • Hyaluronic acid (sometimes) to hydrate and improve skin firmness

INDICATIONS

  • Locally accumulated fatty tissue (abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, chin),
  • Reduction of fat deposits without surgery
  • Body shaping in problem areas
  • Cellulite and fibrosis
  • Need to improve skin tone and elasticity
  • Reduction of fatness in hard-to-reach areas of the body
  • Complementary therapy after liposuction
  • Lack of results after diet and exercise in a particular area

Contraindications and side effects

  • Blood clotting disorders
  • Active skin infections and inflammation
  • Diabetes, autoimmune diseases, cancer
  • Propensity for hypertrophic scarring
  • Allergy to phosphatidylcholine or other ingredients of the preparation
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Side effects from the procedure include:

  • Swelling, redness, tenderness, itching
  • Slight pain at the injection sites
  • Occasional bruising or lumps
  • Rarely infections or bleeding

These symptoms usually subside within a few days. After the procedure, it is recommended to avoid saunas, tanning beds and intense exercise for 2-3 days.

How does the procedure work?

The procedure is simple, and the procedure itself usually takes 20-40 minutes:

  • The treatment area is cleaned and disinfected. If necessary, the skin can be anesthetized with a special cream.
  • Using a thin needle, the specialist makes a series of precise punctures, introducing mesotherapy products into the desired areas.
  • Redness, swelling or slight pain may occur after the procedure - this is a natural reaction of the body related to local inflammation, which stimulates the metabolic process.

For small amounts of fat, 1-2 sessions are often enough, while for larger fat deposits, a series of 3-5 mesotherapy treatments is recommended, spaced every 3-4 weeks.
