The above price is per ampule. Each 10ml ampule equals 20 injections of 50cc (insulin syringe) each. Lipolysis is an innovative gentle non-surgical method to remove accumulation of fat deposits in specific regions of the body. It is one of the safest methods for removing, double chin, and fat around the waist, inner thigh and abdomen, under the upper arms, knees and ankles. It is also an extremely effective method for combating cellulite. Lipolysis is used to improve the effects of dieting and exercise.
 SCIENCE BEHIND LIPOLYSISs
Lipolysis for fat removal and cellulite treatment uses fat-dissolving phosphatidyl choline injected to the localized regions of the body.
The main component of soy Lecithin is Phosphatidylcholine (PPC), which has the ability to remove fat permanently. It is also known for its ability to reduce cholesterol and improve the body's metabolism. Lecithin prevents the body from storing fat in the targeted regions and improves the fat burning capacity of the body. It is not an alternative to a healthy diet or exercise, but helps to target areas not easily affected by regular exercise and dieting.
Phosphatidylcholine has been successfully used around the world for almost 16 years as part of intravenous treatment of cholesterol related illnesses, and more recently, also for the reduction of fat deposits in targeted regions of the body. It was first used in Italy and became popular in Brazil, the USA, and recently also in South Africa.
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TREATMENT
The technique has been successfully applied in the treatment of more than 8500 patients in Latin America without any complications or side effects. According to a study conducted and published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal in 2006, 88% of the 17, 376 patients treated from 17 different countries were satisfied with the results of Lipolysis.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
People who want to remove small to medium size fat pockets in targeted areas of the body, but don't want to undergo surgery. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, as well as people allergic to soy, people with stroke histories or those who recently recovered from cancer, and people with blood clotting history, as well as those on heart disease medication, should not consider the treatment. Insulin dependent persons should not consider the treatment.
WHAT ARE THE OUTCOMES?
The results vary according to the patient's age, skin type, weight and lifestyle. Some people see results immediately, whereas others notice a gradual change over a period of weeks or months.
Since Lipolysis is effective in dissolving surplus fat and helping the body to block fat storage the results are permanent. Improved blood flow to the targeted areas and the enhancement of lymphatic drainage, combined with the removal of fibrotic tissue result in a visible reduction of the orange peel effect associated with CELLULITE.
People who are committed to a healthy lifestyle of regular exercise and a balanced diet should experience long term improvement.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
Since it is a non-invasive procedure, patients can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment although hot showers and baths should best be avoided for eight hours after treatment. Patients should refrain from excessive exercising and massages for the first week after treatment. It is a relatively painless procedure although patients may experience discomfort from the initial injection pricks. Light swelling, redness and a burning sensation may be experienced at the targeted areas for one to four days. Light bruises will disappear within a week WHAT ARE THE COSTS?
Lipolysis requires 1-4 treatments per body area over a period depending on the results required. 1 Injection will cover an area of 10cm2. It is an extremely popular method because of its affordability. ie. love handles.....2 injections on each side every 1 to 2 weeks for approximately 3 - 4 sessions. 10 injections (5ml) would cover the upper and lower tummy and love handles for 1 session. 100cc insulin syringes are used for this procedure and each injection uses 50cc (half a ml) therefore 20 injections can be obtained from 1 x 10ml ampule.
HOW OFTEN IS THE TREATMENT REPEATED?
Patients committed to a healthy lifestyle and regular water replenishment should experience permanent results between 1 and 4 treatments to a targeted area. Treatments are recommended at intervals between 1 and 2 weeks depending on the patients response to treatment. It remains actively working on the fat cells for up to 8 weeks after the last treatment.
