What is intra-lipotherapy?

Intralipotherapy refers to the fat dissolving therapy using sodium deoxycholate-based solution. The fat dissolver is injected under the skin directly into the fat layer with a special needle or cannula. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. The solution will dissolve the fat cells, which then undergo degradation and absorption by the body over several weeks.

Where can we inject fat-dissolver?

Fat-dissolver can be used in the following areas:

Double-chin

Abdomen

Flanks

Saddlebags

Inner thighs

Inner knee

Arms

Back rolls

Pseudo-Gynaecomastia

​

How many sessions do you need?

Two to six sessions 4-6 weeks apart are expected for best results.

Is intra-lipotherapy painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic with Lidocaine 2%. Only 2-4 entry sites are expected for the needle/cannula. Pain is frequent following the procedure but generally do not limit a normal social life or physical activity.

​

Is there a risk of bruising?

Bruising is frequent, transitory and should be considered a normal consequence of the treatment. Compression garments post-treatment are strongly recommended to reduce bruising.

How long does it take to see the results?

The solution will dissolve the fat cells, which then undergo degradation and absorption by the body over a length of 4 - 6 weeks. Therefore results can take several weeks to become visible. Two to four sessions 4-6 weeks apart are expected for best results.

​

How long is the procedure for one area?

The length of the procedure depends on the size of the area. One large area can take up to 40 mins.

​

How long the results last?

This purely depends on your lifestyle. Fat cells could regenerate a few years later if you have a high-calorie intake and sedentary lifestyle.

What fat-dissolver do we use?

We use Desoface and Desobody fat-dissolver which a licensed for double chin and body fat. These are the new generation of fat-dissolver.

Pre-treatment instructions

Compression garments are strongly recommended to enhance the result and reduce swelling and bruising. Compression garments need to be tailored to the patient size to be effective. These can be purchased on www.macom-medical.com. Appropriate clothing should be worn on the day of treatment to allow modest access to the area and not be too restrictive or cause discomfort. It is important to avoid anti-inflammatory medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen or diclofenac) for at least 5 days prior to treatment unless it is prescribed for a medical indication. Similarly, avoid alcohol for 48 hours prior to treatment as this increases the risks of bruising and bleeding. Arnica may be taken 5 days prior to treatment to lessen the risk of bruising.
