INJECTION LIPOLYSIS
Treatment available in WellDerm Wrocław, Warsaw
At WellDerm we use the injection of Phosphatidylcholine (PPC) to reduce fatty deposits. PPC is a substance derived from the soy bean and has been used for many years for such reasons as: reducing blood lipid levels; treating fatty livers and fat embolism. With respect to these treatments no complications were observed. It has been used cosmetically since 1995 for reducing collections of fat and with over 70,000 treatments being performed.
PPC is injected into the superficial fat layers and is responsible for breaking the membrane (or skin) of the fat cell. The triglycerides (fats) stored within the cell are then released and transported away from the area via the blood stream to the liver where they are processed. By reducing the number of fat cells in a particular area the amount of fat stored in that area is also reduced. Thus the procedure can be used to reduce small areas of fat (e.g. chins and necks) or reduce larger areas that are disproportionate compared to other areas, or to smooth out irregularities.
Effects of the WellDerm treatment:
-
Elimination of the so-called „second chin”
-
Slimming of lower areas of body – hips, thighs, knees
-
Removing folds on the back
-
Slimming the abdomen
We also treat other problematic areas.
Procedure description:
PPC is injected just under the skin and multiple injections are required to get an even effect. This is done using a device that allows several injections to be done simultaneously. Thus you will only feel one pin prick for (up to) 5 injections. Each “shot” is only minimally painful. The area may turn red initially and there will be mild moderate pain which generally lasts for a few hours. The area will be bruised and swollen and sore to touch for some days – usually 5 to 7 days. Some patients experience itch. Generally there is no need to take time off work. You may notice some mild “diarrhoea” over the next few days – this is the effect of fat being excreted and is of no concern.
The effects are visible even after one treatment but it is necessary to repeat the procedure (2-3 treatments) every 4 weeks to achieve best results.
The treatment works for persons with average weight having problems with locally accumulated fatty tissue resistant to diet and exercise.
Price depends on the amount of product used (Phosphatidylcholine enhanced with L- Carnitine which increases the effectiveness of treatment)
