Lipolysis Weight Loss Treatment

LIPOLYSIS TREATMENT

General information

Lipolysis is a medical procedure to dissolve fat in unwanted areas on the body
It promotes the breakdown of fatty acids and results in defined contours of the treated areas
It is recommended that a healthy lifestyle and exercise be used to promote weight loss and
prevent fat reaccumulating in the treated areas
After completion of the maximum number of sessions, results are permanent if weight is
kept constant
It may not be a suitable treatment option for all such as in the case of:

Fluid overload, bloating in the abdominal area, under eye bags caused by fluid accumulation
Facial drooping requiring threads or fillers
