Intra-lipoic therapy is the only safe non-surgical option for treating localized fat without a scalpel.
Fat in the human body acts as an “insulating” material, helping maintain a stable body temperature, absorbing shocks, protecting vital organs, aiding in better vitamin absorption, and serving as an energy reserve. However, sometimes the body retains more fat than it actually needs.
With the injectable lipolysis method, fatty acids stored in fat cells are released, cellular debris is removed, and unbound fat cells are metabolized and converted into energy.
As with any treatment with hypodermic needles, it is very possible to cause slight swelling, bruising and hematomas, which subside completely after approximately 5 days.
For visible results, an average of 3-5 treatments are needed with 4-6 week breaks in between. After 1 week, you may reapply the medication only to the newly treated area.
For the next 12 hours after the treatment, do not apply cosmetics to the area where the injection was made. Also, avoid direct contact with heat and radiation (sunbathing, sauna). It is recommended to follow a comprehensive exercise and nutrition program after 7 days for best results.
Intralipoic acid therapy can be administered to patients aged 18-60 to treat localized fat in problem areas.
