What is Regional Fat? How to Remove Regional Fat?
Our body stores more food than it needs as fat. In some people; the places where fat is stored are more prominent; such as abdomen, bagels, hips, inner legs, arms, double chin. This is called regional fat and unfortunately, regional fat can be very stubborn. Even diet and exercise may not be enough to lose this fat.
The locations of the areas where regional adiposity is observed are usually genetic, that is, hereditary. This can be observed even in people who are not overweight. For example, although there is no fat in the arms and legs of the person, there may be fat in the abdomen that does not melt. This can cause a disproportionate appearance or make the person look larger than they are.
One of the methods that is very effective in removing regional fat is needle mesotherapy.
What is Needle Lipolysis?
Needle lipolysis is a body mesotherapy method that has gained a well-deserved reputation among non-surgical fat removal treatments thanks to its impressive results in reducing stubborn fat and skin tightening.
Lipolysis means the breakdown of the fat cell. The reason why it is called needle-based is that products with fat-destroying properties are injected with a needle into the area where fat reduction is desired.
In our clinic, we use not a single product but 3 different mesotherapy products at the same time to ensure high efficiency in the needle lipolysis method:
Phosphodylcholine : Stimulates the breakdown and clearance of fat cells. It activates fat-degrading enzymes and helps fat solubilization.
L-carnitine : It is an enzyme normally found in our body that has a fat-busting effect. L-carnitine also enhances the effect of other fat-busting products.
Organic silicone : Silicon, also known as silica, breaks down fat cells without affecting cell metabolism. It also acts as a regulator and normalizer of cell metabolism and cell division.
How is Needle Lipolysis Applied?
The first step is to apply local anesthetic creams to the application area for a comfortable experience.
Then the skin is cleaned with a disinfectant.
The application sites are marked. Then, mesotherapy products are injected with a needle according to the size of the area and the thickness of the fat tissue.
Needle lipolysis is applied directly into the fat tissue. While the fat cells are destroyed, collagen and elastin production increases at the same time, which prevents sagging of the skin while the fat melts.
Is Needle Lipolysis Painful?
In our clinic, we ensure that the area is numb with local anesthetic creams before each application. In addition, the needles we use in needle lipolysis are 10 times thinner than even the insulin needle and are called ghost or invisible needles. In other words, you do not feel the needle, but for the first few seconds, the burning effect of the mesotherapy product can be heard. This is also very short-lived.
Who Can Have Needle Lipolysis?
Lipolysis mesotherapy is not a general slimming method. It provides the removal of regional fat. Although it is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, all women and men over the age of 18 with regional adiposity problems may be suitable candidates for needle lipolysis.
Which Areas Can Needle Lipolysis Be Applied?
Needle lipolysis; It can be easily applied to any area where regional fat is observed:
- Abdomen
- Hip
- Thigh
- Near and behind the knee
- Upper Arms
- Jowl
They are the most preferred regions.
How Many Sessions Should Needle Lipolysis Be Performed? When are the effects observed?
Although the number of sessions needed varies according to the patient, in most cases at least 3 sessions are repeated.
Results can be observed within 2 weeks in areas with thinner adipose tissue (such as double chin, under arms) and within 4 weeks in areas with thicker adipose tissue (such as hips, abdomen).
Is It Possible to Lose Weight with Needle Lipolysis?
Needle lipolysis is not a general weight loss method. However, it provides regional thinning.
How Long Does Needle Lipolysis Last?
With the needle lipolysis application; If you take care to drink at least 2.5 liters of water a day, eat regularly and exercise, fat formation in the same area is not observed again.
