Reduce fat deposits the easy way through Injection Lipolysis therapy at Richmond Hill laser clinic!

Many people like you are aware that fat deposits in certain areas of the body do not simply disappear despite your best efforts at diets to reduce weight, special exercise programs or changing your eating habits. Injection Lipolysis is a method that enables fat to be broken down in specific areas of the body and then absorbed naturally by your body's own metabolism. The active ingredient is injected into the targeted area through very thin needles dissolving fat cells which are then released and naturally eliminated by the body for good. The body circumference in the affected area is measurably reduced and skin's elasticity tightens once more to create a smooth, firm surface.

How do you know if Injection Lipolysis is right for you?

If you have small areas of fat deposits on your body that you want reduced and are not a suitable candidate to undergo a surgical lipoplasty procedure, then Injection Lipolysis may be your best option. A consultation is necessary with the physician in order to evaluate your individual profile and condition to determine whether Injection Lipolysis treatment is right for you.

What is the Injection Lipolysis process?

The fat deposits on your body that you want reduced are targeted through Injection Lipolysis micro-injections. These injections contain medications to initiate a gradual loosening of the fat which then liquefies and eventually dissolves and eliminates itself naturally.

How much weight will you lose?

Keep in mind, Injection Lipolysis therapy is not a weight reducing program and the amount of weight a patient actually loses may be minimal. This is common even with fat removed through liposuction surgery. However, the measured body circumference of some patients has been dramatically reduced with Injection Lipolysis.

Will fat reoccur in the treated area?

The fat will reoccur if you gain more weight at a later date. However, observations in many Injection Lipolysis cases have shown the fat often does not reappear in the treated area despite some overall weight gain, retaining a natural look without signs of uneven pockets in the skin area.

Which body parts can be treated with Injection Lipolysis?

Injection Lipolysis can be used to concentrate on fat deposits in various areas of the body including thighs and hips, as well as knees, legs and back; both upper and lower arms; both upper and lower abdomen, as well as love handles. Injection Lipolysis therapy can also be used to address facial issues like double chin/neck, fat of the cheeks and the mid-face, and the fat deposits of the lower eye pads.

Is Injection Lipolysis safe?

The safety report for Injection Lipolysis has been very promising. It is considered to be very safe compared with many other popular cosmetic procedures, although clinical data confirming long-term safety is insufficient. Injection Lipolysis contains a combination of pharmaceutical agents including vitamins, enzymes and low dose medications. As with any treatment, allergic reactions to the medications may occur and patients must inform the physician about any known drug or other allergies, as well as information about current medications, or whether they suffer from any type of metabolic disorder. Before agreeing to treatment, make sure our physician has answered any questions or concerns you have about the safety of Injection Lipolysis to your satisfaction during your consultation.

Are side effects common with Lipolysis?

A sensation of light burning in the injected area as well as swelling, bruising and an aching sensation are some of the common side effects associated with Injection Lipolysis. Treatment should be avoided before and during a woman's menstrual cycle to prevent the possibility of additional pain and discomfort. There is usually more discomfort associated with cellulite treatment than other Injection Lipolysis treatments; however this can be lessened with the use of ice or topical anesthetics such as creams. You'll be advised of the types of common and not-so common reactions and the degree of side effects to expect with Injection Lipolysis therapy when you consult with your doctor.

Is Injection Lipolysis a painful procedure?

Generally, Injection Lipolysis therapy is not very painful, however some body types and areas of the body may experience more aches after the procedure. Please refer to the above paragraph for information regarding women who are menstruating and cellulite treatments.

How long is the recovery or downtime period?

Most patients return to their normal routine immediately following treatment, while one week is the usual amount of time required for soreness and swelling to disappear. Some minor swelling could last longer depending on the body area treated. Patients who undergo facial treatments for facial fat or a double chin could experience extensive and unattractive swelling and may choose to stay off work for three to four days, although it may not be necessary.

How many treatments are required?

Results are normally seen in one to four sessions; however, treatment varies from patient to patient depending on the body areas targeted and your individual condition.

How quickly will I notice results after treatment?

Once again, results vary on an individual basis and depend on factors including a patient's body type and metabolic profile. For example, excellent cosmetic results can be striking in some patients while less dramatic in others. Treatments are generally repeated every four to six weeks. Smaller areas like a double chin often have good results sixty days after a single treatment session, whereas larger body areas like the abdomen often require several treatment sessions. Even the slightest results noticed in the initial sessions will generally improve with more sessions over time.
