Lipolysis is nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure that selectively breaks down fat cells in subcutaneous fat deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Treatment involves targeting fat cells, using injections designed to dissolve fat cells.
Goal of Lipolysis
Lipolysis targets pockets of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise. It is a cosmetic procedure meant to create body contouring/fat reduction effects in areas such as:
– Chin
– Upper arms
– Abdomen
– Back
– Flanks (“love handles”)
– Thighs
Lipolysis does not require general anesthesia, it usually has minimal side effects and downtime, and it involves no incisions or scarring.
