What is Lipolysis?
Lipolysis literally means the breakdown of fat. This is a noninvasive, nonsurgical procedure that causes fat cells to rupture and release their fat content. When this happens, the body processes the fat and removes it. The area where the fat was removed then has a trimmer silhouette, whether it was removed from the abdomen, the buttocks, the thighs, the upper arms, the chin or other areas of the body.
How Does Lipolysis Work?
Lipolysis treatment in Toronto at Nulook Medspa works by destroying fat chemically. During the lipolysis treatment, a chemical called phosphatidylcholine is injected into the area of unwanted fat. Despite its jawbreaking name, phosphatidylcholine is produced naturally by the body, and its job is to break down fat and allow it to be absorbed. It performs the same task when it is injected.
How Lipolysis Gets Rid of Unwanted Fat
Most people need multiple sessions of lipolysis treatment in Toronto at Nulook Medspa. Not only is each patient different, but there are different types of fat. Lipolysis works best on soft fat and has a harder time with fibrous fat. With fibrous fat, the cells grow weak, but they don’t rupture and release their contents as easily as soft fat. With any lipolysis treatment, there is some mild redness, soreness and bruising afterwards, but this goes away after about a week. Some people may feel lumps in the treatment area, but these too go away. Phosphatidylcholine usually last between 45 minutes to an hour.
Benefits of Lipolysis
The benefits of lipolysis are that it not only removes fat but does so without surgery or downtime. This gives it an advantage over fat treatment procedures such as liposuction, which are invasive and require anesthesia and small incisions.
