Fat Burning Injections / Injection Lipolysis / Lipodissolve

Lipodissolve, (also called Fat Lipolysis or Fat Burning Injections) is a term used to describe the non-surgical alternative to liposuction. It is a method used to treat or remove localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise by injecting a "fat dissolving solution" rather than undergoing an invasive procedure. It is imperative to remember when considering a Lipodissolve treatment because it is not used for weight loss but for body sculpting.

At Skin Renewal, we have a few different options for treating localised fat deposits. Some are injectable (various types of lipodissolve options), and there are also some treatments done in-clinic that do not require any injections.

questions

Are Lipodissolve Injection treatments available at all Skin Renewal branches?
What Injectable Lipodissolve options are available at Skin Renewal?

These include the following:

  • Phosphatidylcholine (also known as PC or PPC)

Phosphatidylcholine is a natural product found in our bodies. The primary role of PC (or PPC) is to emulsify and break down fat and cholesterol, which the body removes via natural detoxification processes via the liver, kidneys and bowels. Phosphatidylcholine has been used for reducing fat deposits for many years. It can also be used intravenously via one of our IV infusions to treat cholesterol plaques in the blood vessels as a supportive therapy for the prevention of heart disease.

  •  Ceccarelli Solution 

Ceccarelli solution uses the Fenton reaction/metabolism to enable the aesthetic practitioner to re-sculpt the contours of the face and body using a solution made up of Vit C and Fe (Vitamin C and Iron). When injected, the Ceccarelli lipolytic solution acts on the fat cells and causes natural fat cell death (also called fat cell apoptosis). One cell death occurs, and the fat cells are removed as "waste" from the body and shed via the body's natural waste removal and detoxification processes.

  •  Mesotherapy with Biopuncture Solution

These injections of homeopathic solution are dilute microdoses of plants or minerals, and they are given to promote fat lipolysis and fat cell metabolism in the target area. The Biopuncture ampoules used for fat lipolysis (lipodissolve) can also be used in IV infusions as a support treatment option for patients undergoing body treatments and working on diet and weight loss. 

Are there non-injectable options available for treating fat deposits?
What areas can be treated?

Fat deposits can be treated on both the Body and the face. Possible treatment areas include:

  • Fatty pockets above the knees 
  • Love handles
  • Inner thighs
  • Banana roll at the area below the buttocks
  • Abdomen
  • Back fat / bra bulges
  • Saddle bags
  • Bat wings / arms
  • Under the chin
  • Fat pads at the jowls
  • Moobs
Can anyone have lipodissolve or fat lipolysis treatments?

At Skin Renewal, all our patients are first consulted by a medical Doctor to establish a proper medical history and ascertain whether there are any contra-indications to treatment. A patient with liver or kidney diseases, for example, may not be able to undergo treatment as the fat removal process leans very heavily on the ability of the liver and kidney to perform the process of detoxification & waste removal from the body. 

This is why a doctor first sees all our patients and remains involved in every patient's treatment journey from start to finish.
