What is lipolysis and 6 procedures to start the process in the human body

Lipolysis is a minimally invasive way to create a beautiful face and body. The effect is aimed at fat cells. It stimulates their destruction and entry into the lymphatic system, where they are converted into energy and consumed by the body.

Lipolysis

The ways of influencing fat cells are varied - they are affected mechanically, ultrasound, cold, laser and some other methods. Nowadays, laser-assisted lipolysis is considered the most advanced way to get rid of fat. Many clients of cosmetology clinics have tried this method, and they were very pleased with the results.

Many people like this method.

Experts from many countries have positively assessed this method of getting rid of fat. It is used in Europe, America and our country too. In Moscow, various cosmetology centers successfully implement lipolysis.

Lipolysis process

Adipose tissue is the body's energy reserve.
When a person eats, some of the fats that come with food are deposited in various areas of the body and face. This happens when you consume more calories than you burn. If there comes a period of fasting, active movement and lack of food, then the deferred “reserve” is processed. Lipolysis is the breakdown of adipose tissue into its components under the action of lipase (enzyme).
This principle is the basis of the cosmetological hardware and manual correction of the same name. The lipolysis process is launched during procedures using several methods: laser, ultrasound, injection, radio frequency (RF, RF lifting). After splitting, fat enters the lymph system and is eliminated from the body naturally, for example through the skin with active movement. Therefore, to help lipolysis, it is recommended to include myostimulation or (or in combination with it) physical activity in the course.

Indications

This procedure becomes especially important when:

you need to get rid of small deposits of fat;

The procedure is performed if you need to get rid of small fat deposits
it is necessary to correct gynecomastia in representatives of the stronger sex;
you need to correct the skin texture;
it is necessary to build the correct body contours.

On a note ! Severe obesity prohibits such a procedure.

Types of lipolysis

There are four main methods used in cosmetology, each of which has certain characteristics.

Injectable . The most popular variety, the essence of which is: a course of injections (deep under the skin, 12 mm) of phosphatidylcholine, an active substance created from soy. It is produced in the body and stimulates metabolism, including fat metabolism, lowers cholesterol, and promotes fat burning. Through targeted administration, problem areas can be affected. Treatment is most effective in the following areas: thighs, chin, buttocks, arms, cheeks, forearms, lacrimal sacs.
Ultrasonic (cavitation) . Allows you to destroy fat without damaging the skin. It is carried out on a device that has a tube in its design, from which ultrasound waves of various frequencies emanate. These waves penetrate deep structures and destroy fat. This technique is most effective on the waist, buttocks, hips, back, arms, neck, shoulders and forearms, “breeches”. With its help, you can eliminate irregularities that arise after liposuction. The fat layer should be more than 15 mm thick.
Radio wave (radio frequency) – hardware lipolysis, which involves heating tissues to 45 degrees Celsius under the influence of electromagnetic waves of 25-50 W. At this temperature, microscopic areas of the skin and fat cells underneath become necrotic. At the same time, the influence of waves is superficial and does not affect deep tissues. The method is used in those areas of the body where the layer of fat is thin, as are the manifestations of cellulite. As a result, the skin is smoothed, the tissues become denser, and the figure is sculpted.

Laser . The structure of fat cells is changed by exposure to a directed laser beam. Fat tissue breaks down and by-products are naturally excreted from the body. This technique is in demand on small areas of the body, often inaccessible to liposuction. After the intervention there are no bruises left.

Laser lipolysis - what it is, when and how it is carried out, effectiveness

Modern cosmetology offers various methods of care. One of them is laser lipolysis. Using the device, you can get rid of excess fat in certain areas of the body.

To get into ideal shape if you are overweight, you can lose pounds through diet and exercise.

The second method, which does not require strict discipline, is liposuction. This is a rather serious surgical operation, which has a lot of contraindications, and recovery takes several weeks.

A more gentle hardware procedure is laser lipolysis. It consists of treating subcutaneous adipose tissue cells (adipocytes) with a low-intensity laser beam, followed by their destruction.

The mechanism of action is as follows: the laser beam stimulates the breakdown of the membranes of fat cells. The breakdown products captured by the lymph are then metabolized in the liver. The fat layer is noticeably reduced.

The positive thing is that the laser only affects fat cells. The skin, blood vessels, and nerve endings are not affected, so the effect does not cause pain and does not require long-term rehabilitation.

The laser lipolysis procedure is suitable for different areas of the body. With its help, fat is removed from the abdomen, sides, thighs, and arms. Suitable for removing the “widow’s hump” at the withers and double chin, and improving the condition of the skin with severe cellulite.

The technique is effective: with its help it is possible to remove up to 10 cm in volume, and the effect is noticeable after 1-2 sessions.

Laser lipolysis is not a panacea. If your body weight is over 100 kg, then the procedure will not help you become slim.

Main indications:

patient dissatisfaction with minor fat deposits;
cellulite;
lumpy skin after liposuction;
pseudogynecomastia in men (a pathology when, due to the accumulation of adipose tissue, breasts that resemble a woman’s are formed).

Laser lipolysis is also suitable in cases where you urgently need to correct your figure or face.

Depending on the depth to which laser beams penetrate and how the remains of dead fat cells are removed, several types of lipolysis are distinguished.

According to this criterion, two varieties are distinguished:

cold method - so-called laser cavitation;
internal (invasive) lipolysis.

Cold laser lipolysis is a non-traumatic procedure. Exposure to the device does not damage the skin. The laser acts as an activator of biochemical processes leading to the breakdown of fat cells. This non-injection, completely painless method is suitable only for minor imperfections in the figure.

If internal lipolysis is chosen, the effect occurs through tiny punctures in the skin. The laser is applied directly to the fatty tissue to provide a targeted effect. This method is chosen if the volume of adipose tissue is large.

After the destruction of fat cells, their components are released into the intercellular space.

There are two methods for removing waste products from the body:

The natural way. Slow and ineffective. Lymph and blood capture the remaining cells and redirect them to the liver.
Artificial. Selected when performing internal lipolysis. Using punctures and installed cannulas, the emulsified liquid is removed using a vacuum method.

The first method has a drawback: it creates additional stress on the liver. Artificial removal of fat cell breakdown products is more effective and gentle.

Currently, clinics use lipo lasers from several brands:

iLipo. Combined diode device with vacuum massage and radio wave exposure. The functions can be used individually or together.
Edaxis. Equipment for laser and ultrasound lipolysis. Equipped with a vacuum massage function.
Lipobeltlaser. Device for cold lipolysis. Suitable for body or face correction. The device automatically determines the optimal oscillation frequency, taking into account the volume of adipose tissue and the client’s phototype.

It is possible to use equipment from other certified brands. Most clinics use combined equipment that allows several procedures to be performed at once.

Despite the fact that the laser lipomodeling procedure is safe, you should start preparing by visiting the clinic:

take general urine and blood tests;
undergo fluorography;
do a cardiogram;
visit a therapist to get an opinion on whether laser lipolysis can be done.

A few days before the scheduled procedure, switch to a dairy-vegetable diet, reducing the amount of meat as much as possible. You can leave fish in your diet.

Avoid alcohol completely, and it is advisable to quit smoking. Do not visit the solarium, do not sunbathe in summer.

If possible, stop taking your medications. If the course of treatment cannot be interrupted, inform the cosmetologist who will perform the procedure.

Laser lipoplasty is performed in stages. Cosmetologist:

Cleanses the skin on the treated area.
Installs the plates of the device and secures them with elastic straps.
Adjusts the laser to the required parameters (they are selected individually, depending on the indications).
Turns on the device.

The laser exposure time ranges from half an hour to several hours.

Next, the doctor performs a special massage to speed up the removal of fat cell breakdown products from the body.

The method not only removes excess fat on the cheeks, but also improves the condition of the skin. After treatment, it tightens and a lifting effect is noted. Facial liposculpture improves the oval shape and makes contours clearer.

In this area, a cold version of the procedure is used, in which the skin is not damaged. The process is completely painless. There are no marks left on the face, so no recovery time is required.

Laser lipolysis of the chin removes fat deposits. Unsightly folds also go away. In practice, it is impossible to get rid of a double chin with diets or special gymnastics for the face. After lipolysis, the problem is solved quickly and effectively.

If the double chin is pronounced, you will have to undergo several sessions. Then the result will be long-lasting.

Removing fat deposits from the neck is only possible through surgery or cosmetic procedures. Typically, lipolytic injections and laser lipolysis are used. It is very difficult to remove the fat hump that forms at the back of the lower neck using other methods. Exercises to solve this problem will not help.

Diode lipolysis is the most successful method, as it does not involve damage to the skin. The procedure is completely painless and gives a pronounced effect. After the sessions, not only fat deposits disappear, but also the tone of the dermal integument increases. The skin is tightened, wrinkles are smoothed out.

To eliminate the “widow's hump”, about 10 procedures are required with breaks of 2-3 days. If you take longer intervals between sessions, it will be more difficult to achieve the desired result.

To get rid of fat deposits around the waist, internal laser lipolysis of the abdomen is performed. The procedure takes place under local anesthesia in an inpatient cosmetology clinic.

After determining the sites of exposure and treating the skin, the doctor inserts a thin needle with a cannula (diameter 1 mm). Through this puncture, the laser beam enters the subcutaneous tissue. By moving the needle, the adipose tissue is destroyed in the targeted area. Constant monitoring of the process is required in order to influence the designated areas without damaging surrounding tissues.

The duration of the procedure is about 1 hour. The cosmetologist determines the exact time individually, depending on the area of the area that needs to be treated. When irradiating a small fragment of tissue, products removed from fat cells do not need to be pumped out. Everything is eliminated naturally through metabolism in the liver.

Strip patches are applied to the needle insertion sites, which promote rapid healing of mini-damages.

You may feel some soreness as the anesthesia wears off. But the discomfort is not severe; patients usually do without painkillers.

Indications for the procedure:

voluminous deposits on the inner or outer sides of the thighs;
skin injuries on the inner thighs caused by friction when walking;
patient's dissatisfaction with the volume of the buttocks.

It is possible to get rid of these shortcomings with the help of a diet, but it will take a lot of time and effort. Laser processing solves the problem much faster. But with a high degree of obesity, it is useless to resort to lipolysis: the laser will not cope with a significant volume of adipose tissue.

The procedure is carried out in the same way as abdominal lipolysis, that is, with the introduction of thin needles. After completing the work, apply a tight bandage to the affected areas.

No special rehabilitation is required after cold lipolysis.

If punctures were performed, care must be taken for 2 weeks.

Recommended:

Wear compression garments prescribed by your doctor. This will eliminate swelling. Internal tissues will heal faster and the skin will tighten.
Treat puncture sites with antiseptics to prevent infection.
Drink more clean water, reduce the amount of salt and try to eat light foods. This is necessary to quickly remove the breakdown products of adipose tissue.
Wash only in the shower. Avoid baths, baths and saunas until the end of the recovery period.
Avoid excessive stress, do not lift heavy objects.
Do not go to the beach, solarium or swimming pool.
Do not drink alcohol.
Reduce, or better yet completely eliminate, smoking.
Beware of colds, avoid exacerbation of chronic diseases, as deterioration of health will interfere with healing.

If the treatment area is large, the doctor may recommend antibiotic therapy to prevent inflammation. It is imperative to complete the prescribed course, even if you feel good.

To achieve the best result, 5-10 sessions are performed. The number of sessions is determined by the doctor, taking into account the task at hand.

Depending on the type of procedure performed, you can expect:

facial rejuvenation, contour improvement;
elimination of double chin and fatty deposits on the neck;
stopping friction on the inner thighs when walking;
tummy tuck;
eliminating the effect of riding breeches on the outer side of the thigh;
improvement of figure contours.

The effect will be noticeable after the first use of the laser. But the final result can be expected after 2-3 weeks, when the natural removal of the remnants of the split fat tissue is completed.

Laser lipolysis is a low-traumatic and safe procedure, so negative consequences rarely occur. Minor side effects in the first 2-3 days after the procedure should not bother you. But if the unpleasant sensations do not go away, their manifestations become more intense, you need to seek medical help.

Side effects of the procedure:

slight nausea, signs of intoxication (arise due to the entry into the blood of a large amount of breakdown products of adipose tissue);
redness and irritation of the skin;
slight numbness in the treated area;
slight pain at the puncture sites;
swelling.

Complications arise when the procedure technique or subsequent care rules are not followed.

Possible negative manifestations:

infection (due to poor hygiene);
formation of bumps and irregularities on the skin;
thrombophlebitis;
allergic reactions.

Like any other hardware effect, lipolysis can provoke an exacerbation of chronic diseases.

There are few prohibitions on lipolysis, but they exist. The procedure cannot be done:

for autoimmune diseases associated with connective tissue damage: SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.;
pathologies of the liver, gall bladder, pancreas;
diseases of blood vessels and heart;
acute infections;
diabetes requiring insulin;
skin lesions;
HIV;
any types of cancer;
exacerbation of herpes;
psychoemotional disorders;
pregnancy, breastfeeding;
obesity above the 3rd degree.

There are contraindications to certain types of procedures. Abdominal lipolysis is not done for uterine fibroids. Do not apply during menstruation or if you are prone to uterine bleeding.

The effect of correctly performed laser lipolysis is comparable to the result of plastic surgery. Fat deposits are significantly reduced, the skin becomes smooth and toned. But, unlike surgical intervention, laser exposure has much fewer contraindications and extremely rarely causes complications.

The main difference is that laser lipolysis is a low-traumatic but effective procedure. The combination of these two qualities makes her unique.

Liposuction is an extensive and traumatic procedure. The more fat you plan to remove, the more difficult the operation. It is performed under general anesthesia, and anesthesia is an additional burden on the body.

The essence of the operation:

Small incisions are made in the skin and a cannula is inserted (the needle used is much thicker than for lipolysis).
The outer edge of the cannula is connected to a vacuum apparatus.
The needle is moved in the fat layer in a fan-shaped and progressive manner.

Liposuction cannot remove fat from all parts of the body. The front of the thighs, upper back, neck and legs cannot be treated this way.

This procedure is similar in appearance to laser lipolysis, but the effect on adipose tissue is performed not by a laser, but by ultrasound. Under the influence of ultrasonic frequencies, an air bubble forms inside the cell, which grows in size and finally breaks the membrane.

The procedure is painless, has few contraindications and virtually no complications. But laser exposure is more effective.

The essence of the procedure is the introduction of lipolytics - substances that break down fat. Injections of special drugs are given into the problem area.

The injection method is quite painful. Afterwards, rehabilitation will be required. Redness and swelling will form at the injection site. Other complications are also possible, which are practically excluded when using laser techniques.

Laser lipolysis is recommended to be combined with procedures that accelerate the flow of lymph and promote the rapid removal of residual fat cells.

Work well in combination with a laser:

myostimulation or electrolipolysis - the effect of electric current pulses on muscle fibers;
RF lipolysis is a method based on the use of radio waves;
vacuum massage;
mesotherapy – injection of a cocktail of vitamins and enzymes;
Pressotherapy is the application of pressure to certain areas of the body in order to accelerate the flow of lymph.

The combination of procedures speeds up obtaining the desired result.

The price depends on the location of treatment and the area of the site. One session can cost from 1000 to 7000 rubles. The cost is affected by the level of the salon and the number of procedures. You can get a discount if you pay for the full course at once.

You can lead a normal life between sessions. But there are a number of restrictions and recommendations, compliance with which will improve the effectiveness of the procedures and reduce the risk of complications.

Try to drink more clean water and limit the amount of salt. This way, the breakdown products of fat cells will leave the body faster.

For the same purpose, moderate physical activity is recommended, but without overload. A complete cessation of smoking and alcohol is desirable. If you like coffee, reduce the amount to a minimum: this drink has a bad effect on lymph flow.

Reviews about laser lipolysis are mostly positive.

Alina, 34 years old:

I did cold lipolysis (I had a double chin) and was very pleased. I had 5 sessions, but after the first I saw results. The method is excellent, the face tightened, the oval became clear.

Olga, 38 years old:

After the birth of similar children, my figure deteriorated. I lost weight, but still my body remained somehow blurred and loose. I decided to undergo internal laser lipolysis of the abdomen and thighs. And I didn’t regret it. The doctor recommended that I combine it with a vacuum massage. Just 6 sessions - and my figure returned to its previous shape.

Laser lipolysis cannot cope with significant fat deposits. Therefore, you should not count on a magical transformation. If there is little adipose tissue, you should opt for this effective and gentle technique.

Recommendations before and after the procedure

Before the procedure, it is necessary to complete the course of anticoagulants (2 weeks before, when using injection technology). Two hours before the procedure you should not eat or drink alcohol. It is also recommended to carry out intervention at the end of the menstrual cycle.

After the session:

Even small doses of alcohol are contraindicated throughout the day.
You should fast for two hours.
With laser lipolysis, a compress is applied for several days.
If the doctor has prescribed an antibiotic, you need to take it exactly as prescribed - this is necessary to prevent infection.
If injections were performed, their places should not be lubricated with creams or cosmetics for 2 hours after the procedure.
For the fastest removal of fat, pressure therapy and LPG massage are recommended (from the third day).

Important! If painful swelling and redness appears in the treatment area, you should contact the specialist who performed the procedure as soon as possible.

Recovery period

Nowadays, such devices are used for lipolysis, thanks to which a low invasiveness and relative safety of the procedure are achieved. You do not need to spend a lot of time on rehabilitation, nor do you have to adhere to strict rules for a long period of time.

Experts only recommend not smoking or drinking alcohol for a while, refraining from training for several days, and avoiding saunas and steam baths. No other restrictions are imposed, so after the procedure a person can live quietly at his usual pace.

In the first few days after the procedure, you should not visit the bathhouse or sauna.

Side effects, possible complications

There is no need for recovery after non-invasive lipolysis. After completing the session, you can immediately return to your normal lifestyle. It is unacceptable to carry out any procedures using hot water for eight hours. In addition, you should avoid your previous level of physical activity for a week after the procedure.

Be sure to read: What is fibrous cellulite and how to deal with it?

This procedure is completely painless. Only in the case of the injection method of the procedure, unpleasant sensations are possible. In such a situation, there is also a possibility of associated side effects, which include:

Edema;
A burning sensation in the treated areas;
Redness of the skin.

Such phenomena may occur during the first two days after the end of the procedure. But they disappear within a short time . For clients with a low pain threshold, a special painkiller is recommended after completion of the session.

What is meant by the term lipolysis?

Lipolysis refers to a biochemical process in the body that results in the breakdown and utilization of fats. Normally, the lipase enzyme and a number of hormones are responsible for this process. Therefore, obesity can be a consequence not only of excessive consumption of high-calorie foods, but can also be triggered by insufficient production of lipase and hormone-like substances.

Lipolysis in cosmetology means a procedure that promotes the destruction of fat cells with subsequent disposal of breakdown products.

Advantages of using lipolaser

Photo: lipolysis and its effects

The main and most important advantage of using lipolaser is that the procedure itself is as close as possible to the process of losing weight naturally. No surgical method that affects fat deposits can give such a lasting and quick result.

Advantages of laser lipolysis:

During the procedure, nearby tissues and organs are not affected, since minimal intervention occurs
absence of unsightly scars and cicatrices as after surgery, since the integrity of the skin is not compromised during manipulation
quite high efficiency (one session lasting up to half an hour can reduce the size of the waist by an average of 3 cm; in a week you can become smaller in a certain area by 20 cm)
there are practically no side effects and complications that often arise during surgery
there is no special recovery period after laser lipolysis

Differences from traditional liposuction

During traditional liposuction surgery, general anesthesia is required, and long-term postoperative pain is also observed. Whereas laser is performed under local anesthesia. For the external method, anesthesia is not required at all. And there is practically no pain during the rehabilitation period.
The volume of fat removed is much larger with the conventional method, about 2-3 liters at a time, the laser procedure is only up to 500 ml.
Rehabilitation lasts 2-4 months with the mandatory use of shapewear. After using the laser, rehabilitation lasts a couple of days and no special underwear is required.

How is it different from ultrasonic cavitation and what is better?

The ultrasonic cavitation procedure for getting rid of problem areas is more effective than lipolysis, because this method does not require anesthesia, and there is no post-operative pain. The rehabilitation time is only 3 hours. The only restriction is related to the prohibition of use on the face.

Compatibility with other methods

Non-invasive lipolysis works well with the following procedures:

Cryolifting is an innovative method of skin rejuvenation through cryotherapy. In this case, there is a local influence of low temperatures, which leads to the release of biologically active substances that trigger skin repair.
Thermage is a non-surgical technique whose purpose is to tighten the skin. It is based on radio frequency radiation, which penetrates into the deep layers of the skin during the session, which leads to its alignment and smoothness.
Laser biorevitalization is an injection technique that allows you to restore normal metabolism in the dermis.

What is it and features of the diode method?

Laser lipolysis (Hollywood liposuction) is a procedure for the destruction of fat cells using laser radiation of a certain wavelength.
Cells resonate under the influence of temperature, while their outer wall dissolves, leading to the destruction of the entire cellular structure. The remaining particles are eliminated from the body using the excretory system. Thanks to this effect, you can get rid of an average of 400-500 ml of fat in one session.

Among other things, the laser heats up the collagen fibers, causing the skin in the intervention area to tighten, forming natural adhesions. This helps to form the correct shape, eliminate stretch marks and wrinkles.

Two types of laser are used for this procedure:

neodymium;
diode

Diode lipolysis has certain advantages:

Results are visible after the first use.
Atraumatic and painless method.
Does not require special diets.
Long lasting effect.
No additional consumables required.
A specialist with higher education is not needed.
Quick recovery does not require sports and shapewear.
General anesthesia is not used.

The wavelength of the laser will depend on the depth of the fatty tissue that needs to be removed. Therefore, the selection is carried out by a specialist in each case individually.

Where and how much can it be done in Moscow and St. Petersburg?

In Moscow, the procedure can be performed in various clinics that have the right to perform cosmetic procedures. In such as Versailles, Health Clinic, 100 Faces, OK and others. The minimum cost for one procedure is 4500 rubles.
In St. Petersburg, the starting price for such a service will be about 2000 rubles. This service is provided by Medall clinics, Center for Cosmetology and Body Sculpting, AmaraMed, Your Planet and many others.

Sometimes there is not enough time to correct your figure. In such situations, laser liposuction comes to the rescue. However, it is worth remembering what it is and that this procedure also has its own characteristics and contraindications. Don't forget about this so as not to harm your health.

How long does the effect last?

Fat begins to be deposited if a person leads a passive lifestyle, eats poorly, has some kind of disease, or is often exposed to stress. Using laser lipolysis, it is impossible to remove fat once and for all, so if any of the listed factors (or several at once) are present, fat deposits will appear again.

If a person who has undergone laser lipolysis adheres to proper nutrition, exercises, and generally prevents the appearance of excess weight, the effect of the procedures will last for a long time.

What procedures is it compatible with?

Lipolysis, carried out in beauty salons, is often recommended to be combined with other methods of body correction, such as:

Pressotherapy;
Thermolifting;
Lymphatic drainage, vacuum roller and anti-cellulite massage;
LPG massage;
Mesotherapy.

It is advisable to select a set of procedures together with a cosmetologist, taking into account their mutual effects on the body, indications and contraindications.

How did laser liposuction come about?

The history of surgical liposuction (and laser liposuction in particular) began relatively recently, at the beginning of the 20th century. Since before this time there was a cult of the “curvy body” as a symbol of health and beauty.

In the 20s of the 20th century, the French doctor Dujarier performed the first liposuction in the history of medicine, trying to rid the then-famous ballerina of excess fat in the knee area. Unfortunately, due to lack of experience, the operation was unsuccessful.

Half a century later (in the 70s of the 20th century), a more successful version of liposuction was performed, performed by a gynecologist from Italy, Fischer. He used a special cannula with a vacuum.

Another 20 years later (1990), laser liposuction began to be used as a more gentle version of this technique. An outstanding surgeon from Colombia, Neira, managed to prove that after treating an area of the body with a laser, fat turns into an emulsion and can be removed from the body through small holes.

At the MedicCity clinic, the laser liposuction procedure is performed using the QuadroStar Lipo device.

This is a new generation of diode lasers for lipolysis and endovascular laser coagulation from the famous German company Asclepion Laser Technologies GmbH. This equipment is also used for laser treatment of hyperhidrosis.

Our equipment allows us to perform laser liposuction on the smallest, most difficult to treat areas of the body and face (for example, the double chin, forearms, knees, ankles, etc.).
