Fat dissolve treatments
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The solution is injected into the treatment area whereby the PPC (phospahatydilcholine) alters the surface tension of the fat cell membrane and increases the permeability of the membrane. The fat cells start to balloon and break up, leading to the drainage of micro droplets of fatty liquid into the body, which is then metabolised through the lymphatic system and excreted.
It is a relatively painless procedure with good results and can be combined with other treatments.
TREATMENT REGIME
The time taken for a treatment session will depend upon the size of the area and indication being treated.
Treatment can take between 10-30 minutes per treatment and you will typically require 2 – 8 treatments, 2 weeks apart. Some people may already see significant results after 1 or 2 sessions.
Treatment for fat pockets underneath the neck and chin, for example, may require 1 – 3 treatments of 2 – 3 injections, while treatment for fat pockets on the hips and thighs may require more treatments.
Clinical results reflect that phosphatidylcholine was efficacious in reducing the fatty pads in the treated areas, with few side effects. The use of phosphatidylcholine in the treatment of fatty pads and small areas of localized fat is safe, low cost, and effective.
