Fat Dissolvers

For some people getting rid of stubborn fat deposits can be a task even after they are eating right and exercising enough. If surgery is a scary option, one can opt for fat dissolving injections treatment which has a fairly good response. This process is usually called as ‘non-surgical liposuction’ and helps to improve problem areas such as chin, jowls, abdomen, hips, knees, upper arms or upper legs (saddlebags), Pseudo gynecomastia (male breasts), Back (bra fat or muffin top), corrective measures after liposuction and such. The treatment involves a series of small injections that help to melt away small localized areas of fat deposits. Another advantage of this treatment is that it can help to firm up the skin and combat cellulite.

Injection lipolysis entered the UK & USA markets like a storm. It is an EU-approved, revolutionary product that helps to dissolve local fat. It may remove unflattering and stubborn areas of fat without the need for liposuction or surgery. Injection lipolysis works by hydrolysing the wall of the fat cell and therefore making it releases it’s lipid content within. The fatty byproduct is then removed from the body via natural processes. This treatment can be used almost anywhere in the body and is particularly popular in reducing the fatty deposits in local areas such as:

• Double chin
• Upper arms
• Buffalo humps
• Chest fat (in men)
• Lower abdomen
• Muffin top Hips
