And the fat pads melt away!
Persistent fat pads often stay behind even after successful diets. So-called fat-burning or lipotropic injections (Aqualyx®) can help to reduce such undesirable bulges.
Under local anaesthesia, a salt of the deoxycholic acid, a secondary bile acid, is injected into the affected area. This leads to a dissolution of local fat tissue.
The fats are split up, evacuated through the lymphatic vessels and eliminated by natural means.
- Injections are carried out every six weeks.
- In total, four to six treatment sessions are necessary.
- All kinds of fat pads can effectively be treated by this method.
- A double chin can for example be significantly decreased.
- Even “saddlebags” can be reduced or even completely removed
- Furthermore, this therapy allows for an ambulatory treatment of benign lipomas.
