Therapeutic lipolysis can be invasive or non-invasive.

Invasive lipolysis methods include:

injection lipolysis
• – characterized by the administration of lipolytic preparations by means of mesotherapy;
needle lipolysis
• – application of electric currents to adipose tissue. At the same time, guide needles are inserted into the fatty tissue.

Non-invasive lipolysis methods include

:

direct action on adipose tissue
• – involves the introduction of lipolytic drugs through the action of physical factors (photophoresis, iontophoresis, phonophoresis);
indirect action
• is characterized by the acceleration of the lipolysis process by stimulating muscle activity and blood circulation. This is possible with vacuum and manual massage, electrical stimulation and with the help of special exercises.
Direct action on adipose tissue is the most effective and specific, but almost all methods of non-mediated lipolysis damage the skin. Only such a method as phoresis can compete with invasive lipolysis methods.

Non-surgical lipolysis methodslipolysis must be present in every beauty salon.

The main types of lipolysis in cosmetology In cosmetology practice,

4 main types of lipolysis are used

:

1. Ultrasonic lipolysis (cavitation). With this method, fat is destroyed without injuring the skin. Lipolysis is performed on a device that has a tube,

ultrasonic waves of different frequencies

emanate from it. Ultrasound waves penetrate deep structures and destroy fat. This technique is used to remove fat deposits on the hips, abdomen, waist, buttocks, back, arms, shoulders, forearms. Also, this type of lipolysis eliminates irregularities that appeared after applying other methods of liposuction. To apply ultrasonic lipolysis

the layer of fat must be at least 15 mm.

2. Injectable

lipolysis

is the most popular lipolysis method. phosphatidylcholine is supposed to be injected deep under the skin, to a depth of 12 mm. This substance is made from soy. It is also synthesized in the body. Targeted administration can act on problem areas. The method is effective in the area of ​​the chin, buttocks, arms, lacrimal sacs, forearms and cheeks.

3. Radio frequency (radio wave) lipolysis is carried out using

heating of tissues

to 450 With the action of electromagnetic waves of 25-50 W. At the same time, microscopic areas of the skin succumb to necrosis, as well as fat cells underneath. Waves do not touch deep tissues. The method is effective in areas of the body with a thin layer of fat, as well as in case of cellulite.

After such lipolysis, the skin becomes smooth, the tissues gain density.  

4. Laser lipolysis

. With the help of the directed action of the laser beam, the structure of fat cells changes.

Adipose tissue breaks down

and the decay products are excreted naturally from the body. The technique of laser lipolysis is used for fat deposits in small areas of the body that are inaccessible to other methods of liposuction. After this intervention, no traces remain on the skin. Read more on Facebook
