Lipolitics for weight loss. Contraindications and side effects after the procedure on the face and abdomen. Reviews

Lipolitics are drugs for correcting the figure and proportions of the face, which are widely used in cosmetology, intended for local destruction of fat cells, improving skin condition and restoring metabolism in tissues.

Lipolysis can be called a natural physiological process during which fats are broken down into their components. This technique is effective and quickly deals with fat deposits in those areas in which it is very difficult to lose weight even with strict diets and intense exercise.

Types of Lipolitics

Depending on the principle of action, there are two types of lipolytics:

1. Direct - destroy fat cells, and the products of such breakdown are naturally eliminated from the body.
2. Indirect – indirectly affect the fat burning process without destroying fat cells. They speed up metabolism, improve microcirculation, and provide lymphatic drainage. Such lipolytics are most often injected into the facial area and others where the volume of fat is small. Their results are similar to natural weight loss

Contraindications

Lipolitics cannot be used in the following cases:

• any oncological pathologies;
• epilepsy and other diseases of the nervous system;
• breast-feeding;
• pregnancy;
• allergy to lecithin and other components of the product;
• impaired blood clotting function;
• diseases in the acute stage;
• ulcers, inflammation, abrasions, wounds, burns in the treatment area.

Cosmetologists recommend refraining from the procedure during menstruation.

Injections are used with caution for dermatological diseases - psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, eczema. Relative contraindications include cholelithiasis, diabetes mellitus, and mental disorders. The procedure for introducing lipolytics under the skin is not carried out when body temperature rises.

Injection areas

Lipolytic injections are used to remove fat deposits in the area:

• Faces – the face loses weight, skin elasticity increases, the contour is tightened, the ridges above the nasolabial fold, jowls, cheeks are reduced, the double chin is corrected.
• Abdomen - lipolytics tighten the silhouette, narrow the waist, and correct protruding sides.
• Legs - it is advisable to correct them from all sides - comprehensively, but local defects can be removed - an overhanging fold above the knees, excessively full calves. Lipolitics allow you to straighten your hips – both on the outside (remove the “breeches”) and on the inside (achieve the “correct” distance between the legs), as well as eliminate cellulite.
• Arms – with the help of lipolytics, the cervico-shoulder girdle (“hump”), shoulders, and forearms are corrected.
• Buttocks - lipolytics make the buttocks firm and toned, the skin becomes denser, cellulite goes away, and the silhouette of the figure improves.

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.

Benefits of Lipolysis

• Minimal pain;

#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.

Specifics of use

Injecting lipolytics into the knee
Injecting lipolytics into the knee joints is not difficult, but special knowledge and training will still be required. It is advisable to contact a person with a medical education who has undergone special training.

The patient, in turn, is recommended to inject lipolytics into the knees after appropriate preparation:

• eliminating the negative impact of high temperatures on the body, so it is undesirable to take a hot shower, visit a bathhouse or sauna;
• It is advisable to exclude hot drinks and alcohol from the diet;
• It is advisable to avoid visiting places with chlorinated water, such as a swimming pool or water park.

Proper preparation for the procedure guarantees a high level of effectiveness.
Initially, the specialist determines the cause of problems with the knee joints for further individual selection of the drug and its dosage. The procedure involves mandatory treatment of the knees with a special antiseptic. The administration of painkillers is not required, since the use of an injection does not correlate with pain. The injections are performed with thin needles, so only small punctures are made on the skin of the legs. At the end of the procedure, it is recommended to use special sedatives that reduce the risk of inflammation and complications.

After the procedure is completed, the patient must give up vigorous activity and maintain the correct drinking regime, since the first hours are decisive for the subsequent result.

You need to prepare for the fact that injections sometimes lead to slight swelling, redness and bruising. Such consequences should not lead to unnecessary worries. The rehabilitation period requires a minimum of time, and the discomfort goes away within a few days.

Cooling compresses are used to eliminate pain. After the procedure, physical activity, visiting the sauna and bathhouse are temporarily excluded, since any external factors are undesirable for the knee joints.

Injections are carried out in courses with a mandatory break of several weeks. Reviews indicate that the desired result is not immediately noticeable. It takes time to remove decay products and restore the knee joints (usually 2 - 3 weeks after the course).

Additional supportive procedures help restore knees after using lipolytics. To improve the result, it is recommended to perform a massage aimed at activating lymph outflow, eliminating swelling and preventing fibrosis. The first massage session is carried out approximately a week after the injections.

The most popular drugs for lipolytic therapy

Aqualyx

The drug is produced in the form of a gel, the active ingredients of which are:

• A three-dimensional polymer of galactose that plays the role of a carrier, linking molecules of the main substance. After entering the body, the substance gradually dissolves and releases sodium deoxycholate.
• Sodium deoxycholate is the main component of the drug; it dissolves the membrane and contents of the fat cell, causing the process of adipocytolysis. Thanks to the gel structure, the substance is evenly distributed under the skin, eliminating the occurrence of unevenness and bumps.

The duration of the course of therapy depends on the area being corrected and averages 2-3 procedures. Repetition of the correction is prescribed in accordance with the indications.

MRX-lipolytic complex

The composition of the drug includes:

• deoxycholate – destroys the cell membrane;
• benzopyrone – reduces inflammation and relieves swelling after an injection;
• carnitine – binds fatty acids and transports them to mitochondria for rapid oxidation;
• lidocaine - anesthetizes;
• Dandelion extract is a natural lipolytic.

The average duration of a course of lipolytic therapy using this drug is 10 procedures. The determining factors are the severity of fat deposits and the individual reaction of the body to the action of the MRX-lipolytic complex.

Dermastabilon

Active ingredients of the drug:

• bile salts (deoxycholate, which serves as a detergent and destroys the fat cell membrane);
• Phosphatidylcholine is a substance that breaks down fat and converts it into an emulsion.

During one course, 7–10 procedures are performed, the break between injections should be from 8 to 10 days.

Revital celluform

A course of lipolytic therapy using this drug consists of 5 injections, given once a week. To avoid the appearance of local fat deposits, this cycle is repeated twice a year.

The drug consists of:

• phosphatidylcholine, which breaks down fat;
• niacin, which produces energy for the body from adipose tissue;
• arnica extract;
• complex of vitamins and amino acids.

Revital Celluform has not only a lipolytic, but also a rejuvenating effect.
