Fat loss injections, also known as lipolytic injections or fat-dissolving injections, are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to reduce localized fat deposits in specific areas of the body. These injections typically contain substances such as deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine, which work to break down and destroy fat cells.
During the procedure, the injections are directly administered into the targeted areas, such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, or love handles. The injected solution works to disrupt the fat cells, causing them to break down and be metabolized by the body over time. This process gradually leads to a reduction in the volume of fat in the treated area.
Fat loss injections are typically performed as a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions required depends on the individual and the desired results. It is important to note that these injections are not intended for overall weight loss but rather for targeting specific areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise.
