Until now, you have probably only heard of extreme fat-loss treatments such as liposuction or fat freezing as the only alternatives to dieting and working out. However, there is another way to contour your body: fat dissolving treatment.
To be precise, fat dissolving treatments use deoxycholic acid, a man-made version of bile acid, to contour and define your body by emulsifying and dissolving dietary fats. When it's subcutaneously injected, deoxycholic acid disrupts the cell membranes of fat cells causing the fat to leak out.
Deoxycholic acid serves as a synthetic alternative to the natural bile acid, which our liver produces. It functions by dissolving and emulsifying fats in food, making it a viable option for individuals, irrespective of their gender or body size, if injected into fatty regions.
Initially developed by the Italian Society of Aesthetics and Medicine's President, Professor Pasquale Motolese, fat-dissolving injections treat specific areas of fat beneath the skin's surface. In 2012, the primary constituent of this treatment, deoxycholic acid, obtained approval as a medical device and not a drug by the UK and EU, affirming that it satisfies all required safety and health criteria. In 2013, it was introduced into the UK market.
Moving forward to 2015, the treatment for eliminating fat and enhancing aesthetic appeal received FDA approval to utilise deoxycholic acid. This authorisation further approved the reduction of facial fullness. It is the first pharmacological agent available for fat reduction, allowing for a safer and less invasive alternative to surgical procedures. It does not replace a healthy lifestyle.
Fat-dissolving treatment is a safe and efficient approach to target stubborn fat deposits. Only a trained and licensed healthcare practitioner should skilfully perform the procedure by injecting it into problematic areas. While liposuction involves the removal of large amounts of fat cells, fat dissolving treatments operate differently. They disrupt the fat cell membrane, facilitating the release of fat which is reabsorbed by the body and naturally flushed out via urine within three to four weeks. Thanks to the body's natural lymphatic system, fat is unobtrusively moved to the kidneys, microscopically filtering them out of the body, without the need for invasive surgery.
Results become visible within three to six weeks, and the minimally-invasive treatment is rapidly gaining popularity among those who want to shed excess fat without exposing themselves to the risks associated with surgery. However, the best and quickest results are achieved when accompanied by certain lifestyle changes, such as drinking at least two litres of water daily, massaging the treated areas daily, and following a healthy diet plan.
Fat dissolving treatment can be used to treat stubborn fat areas, and the chin, thighs, belly, arms and back fat, love handles and waistline are among the most common areas that see positive results.
Fat Dissolving Treatment Vs Liposuction
Bye bye superficial fat.... Hello body underneath!
Whether you exercise or not, fat-dissolving treatments deliver excellent results. Yet, healthy eating alongside these treatments can give you significantly better results. In the case of unhealthy eaters, the excess fat from meals accumulates in stubborn areas like the stomach, thighs, and arms, continuing to enlarge fat cells.
The power fat dissolving treatment holds is the ability to dissolve the fat content gathered in your fat cells. Thus, if you gain weight again, the newly added weight just causes only fat cells to expand.
With liposuction, the fat cells are physically removed from the targeted area, rather than the contents dissolved. This is why re-gaining weight after liposuction can lead to excess fat being distributed to other areas with fat cells that were not eliminated.
In conclusion, to retain a perfect body shape after losing weight, stick to a healthy diet and opt for fat-dissolving treatments to reduce and dissolve the excess fat in your fat cells.
Fat Dissolving Treatment Areas
The number of treatments depends on the amount of stubborn fat to be removed in a particular area of the body. Fat dissolving treatment dissolves fat in layers. Each treatment represents a layer. Other variables such as the density of fat in a particular area also affects the number of treatments required. The chin for example require less treatment sessions than the hip and the thighs.
For optimal results, treatments should be repeated every 3 to 6 weeks until desired results have been achieved and which usually occurs within 3 to 8 sessions.
Fat dissolving treatment can be injected into the following areas:
-
Stomach (inc. six pack definition)
-
Love handles
-
Arms
-
Chin
-
Flanks and waist
-
Inner and outer thighs
-
Underarms and armpits
