Needle Lipolysis

Needle lipolysis is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that reduces localized fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and under the chin. This procedure uses lipolysis, a technique that involves injecting special solutions to target fat cells, breaking them down and allowing the body to eliminate them naturally. 

Procedure

Needle lipolysis involves injecting fat-dissolving solutions, typically phosphatidylcholine or deoxycholic acid, into the skin. These substances break down the fat cell membranes, releasing the fat, which is then eliminated by the body.

The procedure usually takes 30-45 minutes and is done under local anesthesia. 

**Benefits of Needle Lipolysis**: 

• **Localized Fat Reduction**: It significantly reduces fat in areas with localized fat deposits. 
• **Non-Surgical**: The procedure does not require incisions or general anesthesia. 
• **Quick Recovery**: Patients can typically return to their daily activities immediately. 
• Natural results: When the fat content is completely broken down and eliminated from the body, it provides a natural and permanent effect.

Recovery Process

After needle lipolysis, there may be some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort in the treated area. These side effects usually disappear within a few days. Results typically start to show within 3-6 weeks, and the full effect is visible after about 3 months. The results are permanent, as the fat cells do not regenerate once they are eliminated.
