Lipolitics for the face will help remove fat deposits

How realistic is it to get rid of a double chin if you were born with it? Olya Tretyakova completed a course of procedures and found out the answer to this question. I've always had a double chin. You could lose weight as much as you wanted, but it didn’t help. Even in childhood photographs I have it, and even at ten years old I was completely skinny. And I really wanted to have a small chin! Well, you know, like Charlize Theron. Loving people, of course, assured me that a square face is also very beautiful, but that’s why they are loving people, to love me with all my shortcomings :)

I fought as hard as I could. When I was in school, my mother's friend advised me to fold a towel soaked in salt water and slap myself on the chin morning and evening. After a couple of weeks, my chin was covered in bruises. More precisely, chins. Both -))) Then I did gymnastics for months (lower my head, opening my mouth, and then close it, raising it), used a Chinese spring exercise machine and some kind of hellish creams with pepper, from which my face itself became like red pepper. As soon as I remember, I’ll tremble.

Then my personal life began, and I somehow lost sight of my chin. And when I remembered, iPhones and Instagram had already been invented, so I quickly learned how to use filters - and voila! - Now I can give master classes on the topic “How to take a selfie so that everyone thinks you have a thin face.” But I still couldn’t get one perspective. This is when you stand in a blooming garden under an apple tree, the sun is shining at your back, you lean towards the lens - and there is such a magical light and many flowers around your head. In a word, if you have a narrow face and have Instagram, I bet you anything you’ve done this a hundred times. Me and my two chins too. True, from this angle there were actually three of them, so I didn’t post anything anywhere.

Here I am. More precisely, we - me and several chins - before the start of the procedures

Probably, pills for neurosis and an intensive course of occupational therapy would have helped me with my problem, but, fortunately, I ended up on Beauty Insider. And these wonderful people did not laugh at the unfortunate man with two higher educations, who, on the eve of his fortieth birthday, is trying to make an ideal self, but sent him to the “Fifth Element” clinic. “Go, go, they will certainly help you there!” Yana Zubtsova admonished me :)

What are lipolytics for the face (and how do they work)?

Lipolitics are a biologically active material that promotes the burning of fat, including subcutaneous fat.

The breakdown of fats leads to the formation of acids, which are eliminated from the body naturally. You can get rid of fat in specific places. The procedure is powerless for total obesity!

As the manufacturers claim, the skin of the face (or other areas of the body where lipolytics have been injected) becomes smooth and a lifting effect is formed.

It is necessary to use this remedy in case of impaired metabolism, when fat begins to be deposited uncontrollably under the skin.

Lipolitics are well absorbed by the body. But you need to understand that colossal results will not be achieved. The introduction of such drugs provokes slight weight loss.

If a person has a lot of excess fat, then lipolytics will not be able to help him, as they are intended to correct minor imperfections in problem areas. If you have severe fat deposits, you should go for liposuction.

If you have a lot of excess fat (for example, on your stomach), you might want to consider liposuction. After this, when the rehabilitation period has passed, you can improve your figure through lipolytics.

Names and descriptions of lipolytic drugs

The table presents only certified drugs approved for use in the Russian Federation.

Drug name	Characteristic
"Aqualyx"	The drug is known for the fact that today it is the only one that eliminates fat without damaging the muscles and upper layers of the skin. Suitable for correcting any areas, eliminating lipomas, gynecomastia, and “buffalo hump.” The result is a reduction in body fat by 25-35%, the effect increases within 3 weeks, the course of procedures is from 2 to 5 with a break of 3-4 weeks. If you lead a healthy lifestyle, the result lasts for life without additional correction. Aqualix is ​​officially registered by Roszdrav and has a European CE quality certificate. He underwent 7 years of clinical tests, which showed the absence of intoxication from its use.
"Revital Celluform"	A complex preparation containing components for mesotherapy: amino acids, arnica extract, antioxidants, vitamins, etc. The course consists of 5-6 procedures with a break of 7 days. To consolidate the results, it is recommended to repeat the course twice a year. This drug is used not only for lipolysis, but also for mesotherapy.
"Dermaheal LL" (Dermaheal LL)	The composition contains phosphatidylcholine, which dissolves fat, stomatomedin - an active peptide, the most important intermediary in the work of growth hormone, stimulating blood flow and activating the breakdown of fat, carnitine - it removes the breakdown products of fat cells from the body. Dermahil also contains hyaluronic acid and amino acids - they have a good effect on the skin, moisturize, give a beautiful appearance, and rejuvenate. Other useful substances in the composition are a complex of vitamins. The drug is effective for cellulite of any severity.
"Triad"	It contains three enzymes that actively act on problem areas. Lipase eliminates fat layers, hyaluronidase removes cellulite and removes excess water, collagenase stimulates collagen production. Also, these enzymes regulate a large number of processes - mineral metabolism, skin condition and pH, micronutrient exchange, etc. The course should consist of at least two procedures. As a result, cellulite is eliminated, including old cellulite, the “orange peel” is removed, good drainage is ensured, the general condition of the skin is improved and metabolic processes at the level of the skin and hypodermis are normalized.
"Dermastabilon"	It consists of bile salts that destroy fat cells and phosphatidylcholine, which turns fat into a gel substance. The pronounced effect is noticeable after 10 procedures, which need to be done every 8-10 days. Injections are made to a depth of 1 cm.

Pros and cons of the procedure

Advantages:

1. Injections help fight excess fat without damaging the skin. There are no incisions or punctures, which cannot be said about liposuction.
2. Rehabilitation is fast.
3. The patient does not require anesthesia.

But there are also disadvantages to using lipolytics:

1. Most likely, more than one procedure will be necessary. About 6-8 weeks should pass between sessions.
2. It is impossible to get rid of a large amount of fat.
3. After the procedure, there is a risk of swelling, which does not disappear for about a month.
4. If there is excess skin, then it is better to give preference to liposuction with a tightening.

How does thread lifting work?

This method of face lifting is based on the introduction of threads made of organic materials into the skin with thin needles. After a certain time, the threads break down into carbon dioxide, water or organic acids, which are then utilized by the body. One of the main effects of threads is stimulation of the synthesis of collagen fibers and enhancement of the reparative properties of the skin. Moreover, water molecules formed after resorption are retained in the dermis, increase skin turgor and prevent it from sagging. Thread lifting allows you to achieve the following effects:

• Move the subcutaneous fat and fix it in the right place.
• Form an additional frame that prevents sagging of soft tissues.
• Stimulate collagen formation.
• Eliminate sagging skin and increase its elasticity.
• Improve the general condition of the skin.

Not all threads have a lifting effect. Some perform only a frame function. The result is influenced by many factors: material, composition, installation depth, initial condition of the skin.

The threads are made from several biomaterials: polydioxanone, polylactic acid and caprolactone. Polydioxanone is absorbed the fastest, and caprolactone remains in the tissues longer than others. To achieve a lifting effect, the threads are introduced not into the epidermis, but into the deeper layers of soft tissue. Passing through the subcutaneous fat, the thread slightly pulls it along with it to the place of its fixation. The threads are usually fixed near the ligaments of the face. When correcting jowls, the thread is most often held by the zygomatic ligament.

The final result is also influenced by the surface of the thread: smooth, spiked or notched. The even texture of the thread does not allow the skin to be tightened and fixed, so after the procedure the threads “slide” from the installation site, and the lifting effect is quickly lost. Barbed threads are best suited for tightening. They are well fixed in tissues for a long time and lift them.

With thread lifting, several correction options are possible. The choice of method depends on the severity of age-related changes and prolapse of soft tissues.

The first option is suitable for patients aged 30–40 years with initial age-related skin changes. It is used to slightly correct the shape of the face and eliminate the initial signs of aging. For this, a small number of threads (2–4) are usually used to tighten problem areas. This option is not suitable for patients with pronounced subcutaneous fat due to the inability of the threads to hold the tissue.

The second method of thread lifting is used in patients 40–50 years old with significant signs of aging, but without significant fat deposits. Typical complaints of patients are the appearance of jowls, pronounced nasolabial folds and general sagging skin. To correct age-related changes, the doctor uses a large number of threads (from 3 on each side).

The third option is applicable for patients over 50–55 years of age or in case of a large amount of subcutaneous fat. The goal of the procedure is to firmly fix the soft tissues and prevent their further prolapse. The doctor may use up to 10 threads or more. The effect of this correction option is the longest lasting.

#2 types of lipolytics

At the moment, all lipolytics are conditionally divided into 2 types:

1. Direct. The most powerful substances that consist of two active substances. Their action is aimed at destroying not only the fat cell itself, but also its membrane.
2. Indirect. A gentle substance, the composition of which is based on plant components. Their action also leads to fat burning, but they are not able to destroy cell membranes and adipocytes. This type of lipolytics is used to consolidate and enhance the results of other procedures. Artichoke extract or, for example, caffeine are considered popular. But such lipolytics will not be able to radically change a person’s appearance. In addition, they provoke only minimal breakdown of fat deposits. Therefore, experts advise using them not for weight loss, but to improve the appearance of the skin.

Are lipolytics effective for the face? Lipotherapy can lead to the burning of several centimeters of fat layer. It is not capable of causing significant weight loss.

To consolidate the result, additional drugs are used that promote the excretion of fatty acids with lymph and blood.

These drugs should be used in cases where neither diet nor exercise leads to results.

Chemical composition

Lipolitics can contain either many substances or just one.

Substance	Description of action
Deoxycholate	It is a natural chemical and the main substance of lipolytics. It is a salt of deoxycholic acid, which is produced in the liver from bile acids. The substance destroys the fat cell, breaks down its contents and facilitates the removal of fatty elements from the body using blood vessels. Deoxycholate has maximum effect when combined with lipolytic cocktails for intramuscular administration, often together with phosphatidylcholine.
Phosphatidylcholine	Essentially it is a lipid or fat, but normally it is necessary for the construction of cell membranes, as it includes many phospholipids. Its peculiarity lies in the ability to convert refractory fat into an emulsion. The substance does not harm adipocytes, but the beneficial substances of lecithin are distributed to those cells that have been destroyed.
Sodium salt	Normalizes the condition of blood vessels.
Carnitine	Stimulates metabolic processes: carbohydrate, lipid, energy. In addition, the substance has an antihypoxic effect.
Vanadium compound	The substance has antioxidant properties, helps prevent atherosclerosis, reduce cholesterol levels and normalize lipid metabolism. The substance also regulates the balance of sodium and potassium in the body and is involved in the regulation of muscle tissue.
Caffeine	It has lipolytic activity and utilizes free fatty acids.
Amino acid taurine	It has a positive effect on the metabolic process, improves the condition of blood and blood vessels, and has a beneficial effect on cell function.
Lidocaine	Has an analgesic effect.
A nicotinic acid	Normalizes blood circulation and removes excess fluid from the body.
Fucus algae	Improves skin color and increases its elasticity.
Vitamin C	Improves overall skin condition.

Indications

A course of injections with lipolytics should be carried out for certain indications presented below.

INDICATIONS

• lack of results from diets and sports (physical activity);
• loose skin;
• formation of a double chin and loss of facial contours;
• excess fat in the cheeks;
• defects in the shape of the nose;
• fat deposits in the area around the eyes.

Any facial defects associated with the deposition of excess fat can be resolved through the use of these drugs.

Is it possible to lose weight with lipolytics?

Lipolitics (contraindications, possible complications and benefits of the procedure are assessed in advance, before the start of the course of injections) allow you to achieve quick results (when compared with diet and physical activity). But this method cannot remove large fat deposits.

During the course, the maximum layer of burned adipose tissue is 4-6 cm.

Lipolitics are not used to reduce a large amount of weight, but to correct the figure in the presence of cellulite and small fat folds. After the procedure, about 100-150 g of fat deposits are removed. To achieve a noticeable result, a course consisting of 1-2 injections per week for 3 months is used.

With the combined use of lipolytics, physical activity and diet, it is possible not only to lose excess weight, but also to maintain smoothness and elasticity of the skin.

Contraindications

If at least one of the following points is present, you should avoid injections.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

1. individual intolerance to at least one component of the drug;
2. oncology;
3. viral and bacterial diseases in the acute stage;
4. pregnancy and lactation;
5. herpes in the acute stage;
6. cardiovascular diseases and varicose veins;
7. kidney disease;
8. HIV, hepatitis;
9. problems with the thyroid gland.

Before carrying out the procedure, you must consult with a cosmetologist to obtain a prescription.

Please note that the FDA has not yet approved this procedure.

Plastic surgeon Injili Kitto

Application areas

Injections are performed in the following areas of the face:

1. Forever. Subcutaneous fat disappears, the eyelids visually lift, and the swelling effect disappears. Eyes look more rested.
2. Under the eyes. As a result, swelling decreases, the so-called bags under the eyes shrink.
3. Into the nose. Excess fat layers are removed and, as a result, the nose acquires a clearer contour and the tuberosity disappears.
4. On the chin. The skin tightens and becomes more elastic. The “double chin” goes away.
5. On your cheek. Fat deposits are removed, the shape of the face becomes clearer, visually elongated, with highlighted cheekbones.

It is possible to perform injections in several areas at once, but it is better not to inject the entire face for the first time in order to avoid any health problems.

How does the procedure proceed?

Each procedure for administering lipolytics, regardless of their type, proceeds according to the following scheme:

• skin disinfection;
• introduction of lipolytic through the finest needles.

Initially, the patient will have to undergo the necessary examinations and tests. They will help determine a person’s health and eliminate contraindications. Only after this can you begin the procedure itself.

Sodium deoxycholate ensures the destruction of fat cells. The depth of drug administration is determined individually, depending on the type of fat deposits and the area of ​​the face.

The session lasts on average 15-30 minutes, sometimes the doctor needs more time.

Review of the most popular tools

Lipolytic drugs come in direct and indirect action. The latter do not give such a pronounced result, since they destroy the outer shell of fat cells only partially. They are most often used by specialists to consolidate the effect after other procedures and improve appearance.

Let's take a closer look at what the best lipolytics for the face are.

Dermaheal LL

Produced in South Korea, it contains:

• phosphatidylcholine;
• biomimetic peptide;
• el-carnitine;
• hyaluronic acid;
• vitamins, minerals, amino acids.

It has a gentle effect, eliminates subcutaneous fat and does not have a negative effect on the body. Removes sagging and is often used to improve the shape of the nose. One ampoule of the product costs 550 rubles.

Lipo lab v line

The drug is good for eliminating a double chin, it contains:

• ethylparaben;
• methylparaben;
• benzyl alcohol;
• phosphatidylcholine;
• el-carnitine;
• sodium deoxycholate.

Injection administration of Lipo lab v line lipolytic for the face is painless for the patient. After the injections, swelling and burning do not occur. To obtain results, it may take from 3 to 15 procedures, carried out at intervals of 3 weeks. The price of one ampoule of the product ranges from 550 to 700 rubles.

Light fit

The product helps remove fat deposits in almost all problem areas. Used to form an oval, normalize the shape of the nose, eliminate a double chin and jowls. Improves blood flow and lymph outflow.

Contains only natural ingredients - chestnut and walnut extracts. Lipolytic light fit for the face does not leave bruises, a set of ampoules (10 pieces) is sold for approximately 6,800 rubles.

Aqualyx

It is a gel-like substance containing galactose in the form of a polymer and deoxycholic acid (salt). It works almost as effectively as liposuction. One 8 ml ampoule costs about 2,000 rubles.

Pbserum

Produced in Spain, it allows you to gently sculpt facial contours. It contains enzymes: lipase, collagenase and hyaluronidase, as well as a complex of vitamins and hyaluronic acid. Sold in five bottles, price – 7,000 rubles.

MESOPHARM

Representative of indirect lipolytics for the face, made in Italy. When administered, it improves local metabolism, ensures the breakdown of fat cells and drainage. The price of one ampoule is from 550 to 650 rubles.

Lipolitics for cheeks

Like any other part of the face, the cheeks are the most susceptible to the aging process.

For this zone, MRX preparations are actively used, which are a complex remedy.

This is a direct lipolytic that contains sodium deoxycholate and carnitine. It destroys the membranes of fat cells, and the components included in MRX provide an analgesic effect.

The standard course of injections with lipolytics lasts 10 sessions. The number of visits is determined by the patient's condition and the number of fat complications.

Mechanism of action

Lipolitics for the abdomen break down fat cells, as evidenced by reviews from many patients. After using the drug, its active substances find adipose tissue and enter it. Using a thin needle, the specialist injects the lipolytic into a specific area and under its action the fat burning process is activated.

Lipolytics include components that activate microcirculation and stimulate the removal of fat from a certain area using the circulatory system. There is another method of action of lipolytics through a cannula.

The use of lipolytics helps reduce the fat layer by 4 cm. This procedure must be carried out by a cosmetologist who has been trained and has experience in using these products.

Lipolitics for the eye area

These drugs not only have a fat-burning effect, but also tighten the skin around the eyes. By reducing the fat layer, fine wrinkles and so-called “crow's feet” are removed.

The most effective are preparations made on the basis of hyaluronic acid.

They not only promote fat burning, but also stimulate tissue regeneration.

These drugs are actively used to correct facial wrinkles. Attention should also be paid to preparations that contain organic silicon.

This substance can not only eliminate fat, but also activate regeneration processes in the skin, actively acting in the mesoderm.

How long will the effect last?

The efforts of a specialist will not yield results if the patient stops taking care of his own health.

To maintain a beautiful body for many years, you must follow some recommendations:

1. Stick to a diet . After the procedure, fat is broken down in the treatment area. But if a person is predisposed to accumulating fat, no doctor can guarantee that they will not appear again. This issue should be taken seriously.
2. Exercise more often . If a person moves little, then his body does not expend energy, and it turns into fat again.
3. Drink plenty of fluids . This is necessary for the complete removal of fat deposits from the body.

You can also use different skin care products. These include procedures with peelings and scrubs, and after them the moisturizing stage. Coconut oil is ideal for this. It will moisturize the skin and eliminate stretch marks.

Lipolitics for the chin

These drugs are actively used in the area of ​​double chin formation. The number of procedures and frequency of their implementation depend on the general condition of the patient.

The most effective are drugs that contain phosphatidylcholine, vitamins, hyaluronic acid and a number of amino acids.

The duration of action of the drug directly depends on the concentration of active substances of their types.

It should be noted that the results from some drugs can be observed immediately after the first sessions, while other names have a prolonged effect, that is, the visible effect occurs after a long period (several weeks).

Lipolitics and alcohol: compatibility, consequences

It is prohibited to drink alcohol 2 days before the procedure and for 3 days after it. Drinks cause blood vessels to dilate, which increases the risk of bleeding.

Additionally, as a result of the action of ethanol, tissue swelling increases (it does not allow the removal of broken down fats), which leads to a significant decrease in the effectiveness of the procedure.

Reviews from cosmetologists about the drug

Doctors agree that lipolytics are drugs that should take the fight against obesity to a new level. Manufacturers promise a stunning effect, which, as practice shows, is so far exaggerated.

But, in addition to the fat-burning effect, lipolytics have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, making it more elastic by increasing the level of hyaluronic acid.

Vitamin complexes, extracts from various plants and other active ingredients should help restore youthful skin and improve its color.

The main advantage of these drugs is painlessness and absence of injury.

If previously painful and traumatic liposuction was used to combat fat deposits, now a new generation of drugs - lipolytics - must cope with this task.

But, as mentioned above, in practice these drugs have not yet managed to make a splash.

As practice shows, 82.4% of patients who tried this method are satisfied with the result.

Plastic surgeon Kouros Azar

First results

When the swelling finally subsided (and this happened just before the second visit to the clinic), I was able to evaluate the result. And suddenly I discovered cheekbones on my face! (If you look at the “before” photo again, you’ll be convinced that they definitely weren’t there before.) The second chin also became noticeably smaller, and the angles of the lower jaws became more clearly defined.

A couple of almost selfies taken by a friend - as proof:

(By the way, we promised that we would show honest photos here without any processing, so I didn’t use filters to remove the darkness under the eyes and smooth out the nasolabial folds. Fighting them, I hope, will be the next stage :))

The second time, injecting lipolytics was even more painful. But now that I appreciated their effect, it was much easier for me to endure :) Moreover, greater pain meant that the fat layer had decreased. “Starting with the third procedure, we will inject while sitting,” Oksana Valerievna promised me. “Otherwise, when you’re lying down, there’s nothing left to grab with your fingers!” Looking ahead, I will say: by the fifth visit we decided to completely abandon lipolytics - there was nowhere to inject them at all. Oksana Valerievna pinched my chin this way and that, but only grabbed the skin. There is no fat left there :)

The sensations from the procedure on Soprano Nir also changed: the first time the attachment simply slid across the face like butter, and on the second and subsequent visits, when moving, it began to touch the corners of the lower jaw. (Each time, feeling how she “didn’t fit into the turn,” I was quietly happy: it means that the fact that I now see cheekbones is not an optical illusion or self-hypnosis!)

Question answer

Edema appears due to a violation of the integrity of the skin.
To make it disappear faster, you should apply ice to the affected area. Cooling compresses will also help. Even if you do not take any action, the swelling will subside on its own after about 3 days. This procedure requires correct execution and highly qualified doctor. Therefore, a person will not be able to perform lipolysis on his own at home.

The administration of lipolytics is accompanied by quite severe pain. That is why the doctor uses an anesthetic cream, and the syringe contains Lidocaine. But even with such anesthesia, the person will feel discomfort.

Similar effective procedures

Lipolytic injections are often confused with lipolytic mesotherapy. However, these are not the same procedures.

For mesotherapy, the puncture depth is up to 6 mm. This is enough to reach the adipose tissue, but not sink into it, so the effect is superficial. For lipolysis, the needle is inserted to a depth of 3 cm.

In this case, the same drugs for lipolysis and mesotherapy can even be used, for example, Revital Celluform. However, the key factor is the depth of insertion. Even a very strong lipolytic will not be able to eliminate cellulite and extra pounds if it is injected to a depth of 6 mm.

#5 rules for what to do after the procedure

Despite the fact that the introduction of lipolytics is not a complex manipulation, it is worth following certain rules in order not to encounter complications:

1. Carefully monitor your water balance throughout the week; to do this, drink at least 2-2.5 liters of water.
2. For the first couple of days, do not drink alcoholic beverages.
3. Use cold compresses to reduce swelling. It is better not to plan important events after the session, as you will definitely encounter swelling and bruising. They keep for about a week.
4. At first, avoid saunas, sunny beaches, and physical activity. Protect your face with special creams from ultraviolet radiation. Also, prolonged exposure to the cold will not be beneficial if lipolytics were introduced in the winter.
5. Cosmetologists advise avoiding decorative cosmetics for the first few days.

To recover faster, you should use creams that speed up healing.

Price

Prices for one procedure vary and depend on a number of points:

• the drug that is used
• status of the clinic,
• level of qualification of a doctor - cosmetologist, etc.

Average prices for one procedure using the following drugs:

1. Revital Celuform – from 3 thousand rubles.
2. Aminomix - the average price is about 4 thousand rubles.
3. Dermastabilon - cost approximately 5 thousand rubles.

You can find cheaper or more expensive prices, but prices that are too low must be treated carefully.

Side effects

In rare cases, the following side effects may occur:

• the skin itches, a burning sensation is felt, a rash appears (these are manifestations of allergies);
• headache, nausea, vomiting (you should definitely go to the doctor);
• the temperature rises.

Such consequences occur if contraindications are ignored or due to a doctor’s mistake.

There are also side effects that are considered normal; after a while they disappear. This may include swelling, redness, bruising (in 72% of patients).

Also, some patients (4.3%) experience nerve damage. This is a temporary condition that goes away in 1-4 months.

Studies were conducted in 2021 that proved the connection between lipolytic injections and alopecia (hair loss). Hair falls out at injection sites.

Often after the procedure, itching and swelling (something similar to hives) appear. This is a normal reaction. Vitamin B in the medicinal solution could get on the skin during treatment, which causes such troubles.

Ophthalmologist Sofia Rubbani

Consequences

If there are no contraindications, then the occurrence of side effects if the procedure is carried out correctly is minimal. Swelling, redness, and local hemorrhages of moderate localization are considered normal.

Seal formation may occur. In most cases, symptoms go away on their own within 2–5 days. If the swelling remains, or if skin tension bothers you, it is recommended to additionally consult with a cosmetologist.

Doctors record the following undesirable consequences:

• discomfort at the injection site, rashes (itching, burning, irritation);
• obsessive headache;
• nausea, vomiting, diarrhea;
• temperature increase;
• skin hyperpigmentation.

If pronounced manifestations occur that do not go away for 2–5 days, it is imperative to seek medical help. The consequences of incorrect actions when administering a substance are also complications: tissue necrosis, muscle fibrosis. The conditions are dangerous to health, are fraught with negative changes in appearance, and require special treatment.

Targeted neutralization of the drug in case of unsuccessful results is not required. The components of lipolytics are excreted naturally. Elimination of serious undesirable consequences requires an individual approach. The development of the result occurs gradually. If you are dissatisfied with the effect of the substance, stop subsequent sessions.

Lipolitics in tablets

You can find lipolytics in tablets. Be careful, as such products have many contraindications.

Before starting use, consultation with a doctor is required.

These tablets are combined with sports and proper nutrition.

There are 2 types of such drugs:

1. Deoxycholic acid. This name was given to the liquid, the synthesis of which occurs naturally in the human liver. This acid can cause the destruction of the fat cell membrane, which will destroy it.
2. Phosphatidylcholine. This substance is also found in our body. For example, it is necessary for the metabolization of cholesterol.

The effect of such drugs is questionable. Many doctors are against their use. And the pills won’t have any special effect.

The third stage – tightening

As a rule, this stage takes 3 procedures - with an interval of 1 week between them. The task of this stage is to tighten the skin that has sagged a little after reducing the volume of fat deposits (24stoma.ru). Good express lifting can be achieved using preparations with 3% DMAE (for example, “Silor DM”). Additionally, you can use amino acids, peptides, and vitamins. Carrying out a main vascular puncture at this stage is carried out as desired and necessary.

Additionally, at this stage, to tighten the skin at home, you can use - optimally the DermaPen device, or a special mesoscooter for the body with a needle length of 2.5 mm. This will further increase the effect of injections of skin-tightening mesopreparations at the third stage.

Thus, the entire course lasts 12 procedures: at the first stage we do 3 procedures, at the second stage 6 procedures (more if necessary), + 3 procedures at the third stage. But as we said above, for very obese people 12 procedures will certainly not be enough, and people weighing more than 100 kg may require 3-4 times more procedures than in the standard lipocorrection course we described. For such patients, there is only the first stage, at which we perform only a main + local lymphatic drainage injection without the use of lipolytics - normally it should last from 5 to 10 procedures.

Patient reviews, before and after photos

Lipolitics have already spread throughout the world, they are used in most clinics, and at the same time, there are few reviews about them.

Let's look at what patients who have used these drugs say. Many of them even present photos before and after the procedure for introducing lipolytics for the face.

TATYANA, 48 YEARS OLD, MOSCOW:

“I began to suffer from excess weight after giving birth.
I don’t know if my hormonal levels have changed, or if I’m doing something wrong, but the weight doesn’t go away. I often follow promotions at cosmetology centers, and one day I came across an advertisement. One famous cosmetologist spoke about the effect of lipolytics for the face. I followed the link to the video, watched the procedure and was hooked. I read how these drugs work, it seems convincing.

I looked at reviews, before and after photos of other girls. 5 sessions cost 10,000 rubles, and I agreed without hesitation.

RevitalCelluform was injected, 2 ml into the cheeks in the first session, and 4 ml in the second session. There was swelling, but it went away quickly, in about a couple of days. What can I say? Well, I expected more of course. But the result is visible: the face has become a little thinner.”

ANGELA, 32 YEARS OLD, NOVOSIBIRSK:

“I have an expressive appearance and have no problems with weight.
In general, I can say that I am naturally thin. But I got cheeks like a dandelion. Round face and that's it. It was not so much my cheeks that unnerved me, but the double chin that formed every time I just lowered my head.

In general, it's a disaster. I read that these are “Bish’s Lumps”, that they can be cut out, that many stars have done this - and nothing. I got excited and went to the doctor.

The surgeon, apparently having seen enough of stupid girls and is already tired of them, says: “I would not recommend cutting out the Bisha lumps, since they have now brought in an experimental drug - a lipolytic for the face. If you want, we'll try it out. You will always have time to cut out lumps of “Bisha” if something happens.

I thought a little and decided to try it. Firstly, I was afraid of surgery, and there were a few injections with a thin needle. Secondly, there is no rehabilitation period.

Thirdly, I got the result within a week. The cheeks became somehow smaller, which is why the effect was formed as if they had lost weight. But still, there is an effect.”

“The drug Aqualix was created by a Spanish professor of plastic surgery specifically for the correction of fatty areas on the face and body that are not amenable to weight loss.

It is injected through cannulas into the fat layer and destroys fat cells.

Using Aqualyx intralipotherapy, the surgeon achieves the same effect as after liposuction without an operating room, pain and anesthesia in literally 2-4 procedures.”

Maxim Vasiliev, plastic surgeon.

Review:

“To be honest, I didn’t even try to lose weight. My weight suits me quite well. But the “pillow” between the chin and neck is not.

I chose double chin injections as a method of solving the problem for one reason - it’s simple. No need to put in any effort

.

On Friday I asked to leave early and had injections in my chin. Of course, a little pleasant. But Anya has a light hand.

Saturday morning I woke up, stretched as usual, yawned - and my chin literally sunk into my neck. Such a pleasant and long-forgotten feeling!!! It was worth a little patience for this!”

Olga, 34 years old.

Sometimes simply removing a double chin with injections is not enough. The sagging skin fold left after getting rid of fat requires attention.

Strengthening your chin will help: myostimulation, microcurrent therapy, massage and the elastin Japanese cocktail “Sakura”, which is prepared individually each time for the needs of your skin.

I would like to note that you should not hope to get rid of a lot of weight with the help of lipolytics. These drugs are intended for local use, that is, in a specific place. With their help, they can improve the figure or contours of the face. To achieve a positive result, you will need more than one session (about 2-10). Don't forget to change your lifestyle, eat healthy food, drink a lot of water, this will improve the effect.

Such an injection procedure causes discomfort and pain. After this, you should expect swelling and hematomas. Pregnant women and young mothers who are feeding their baby with breast milk should avoid manipulation. To achieve the best result, it is recommended to supplement the administration of lipolytics with a special massage and hardware procedures.

Carrying out manipulations

When a patient comes to the clinic, the doctor conducts a preliminary conversation. The cosmetologist performs an examination, gets acquainted with the client’s wishes, finds out possible contraindications, and prescribes tests to clarify the general clinical picture. Based on the information received, the doctor proposes a correction scheme: selects the substance, dosage, and number of interventions.

Advice. If the cosmetologist does not show interest in your well-being and performs a cursory examination, then it is better to refuse the procedure with such a doctor. It is recommended to perform the manipulation in a clinic with a good reputation. Positive reviews from friends are the best option.

Injections of the substance are performed only when you feel stable. Elevated temperature, pressure surges, and other manifestations of disease are excluded.

Before injecting the drug, be sure to clean the skin in the affected areas and treat it with an antiseptic. Anesthesia is performed at the request of the patient. The injection procedure does not cause significant discomfort.

The doctor marks the injection sites in problem areas. The drug is injected under the skin with a thin needle pointwise to a depth of 1–1.5 cm. The dosage of the substance is determined individually and depends on the nature of the problem. The procedure is completed by applying an antiseptic, a cream that reduces skin irritation.

After the injections, the doctor suggests relaxing and resting for 30–40 minutes. Time helps to understand the body's reaction to the injected substance. If the patient feels well, they are released.
