Fat Dissolving Injections
Injection Lipolysis Dissolves Unwanted Fat
A nonsurgical method at Skinspirations for reducing resistant fatty areas is Injection Lipolysis, which dissolves unwanted fat with medications.
Kybella® is the first FDA-approved medication to treat submental fullness, otherwise known as a "double chin". It consists of deoxycholic acid which is the same substance naturally found in bile that's responsible for digesting fat in the intestines.
Injection Lipolysis can be used on other body areas such as the jowls, thighs, flanks, abdomen, bra strap area, and knees, as long as the fat layer is at least 1/2" deep. Lipomas, which are round, soft rubbery masses under the skin can also be reduced in size using lipolysis.
Fat cells dissolved with lipolysis don't return although surrounding fat cells can increase in size with weight gain.
Most people get visible improvement in two to four treatments, spaced a month or more apart. We see an average decrease in the circumference of about 1" in the thighs or abdomen after a series of four treatments, but results vary.

What Should You Expect During an Injection Lipolysis Treatment?
Injection Lipolysis consists of a medication naturally found in the bile that kills fat cells, mixed with an anesthetic. The medication is injected through tiny needles into fatty areas that must be at least 1/2 inch thick and located above the knees. In the first few hours after the treatment, the treated area becomes pink and may itch and/or burn, which is uncomfortable but tolerable, and most patients continue with their usual activities.
There is some swelling and possible bruising with the treatments but the swelling resolves over the following few days. Some people note that the treated area feels numb for a few weeks but that sensation is temporary. With body treatments, it's not uncommon to feel some bumps under the skin for up to a few months, but they're usually not visible & will eventually disappear. In the weeks following the treatment, the treated fat cells break apart and are processed by your body like the fatty acids in your diet.
When Will I See Injection Lipolysis Results?
The results of Injection Lipolysis appear gradually over a few months, as the fat cells die and disappear. Results vary of course, but in our experience, patients average a loss of about 1/2" in the circumference of their thighs or abdomen, after four treatments.
Injection lipolysis using phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid was first described in the medical literature by Brazilian dermatologist Dr. Patricia Rittes in 2001. Elliott attended one of the first U.S. injectable lipolysis training seminars taught by Dr. Rittes and other world experts in 2008 and has safely performed over 1,000 lipotherapy treatments since then.

Ultrasonic Cavitation
Reduce Fat With Sound Waves
Another treatment option for reducing fat in resistant body areas is ultrasonic cavitation, which painlessly breaks up fat cells by disrupting them with sound waves.
Ultrasonic cavitation treatments can produce an immediate decrease in unwanted fatty areas on the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, as well as in male breasts, or "man boobs". There's no down time, needles, swelling or bruising.
For optimal results in an average weight person, we recommend a series of six to 10 treatments, done at least 3 days apart. Also, patients will see the most dramatic results if they take at least a brisk 20 minute walk or do some other type of cardio exercise immediately after each treatment. Exercise is important for flushing the released fatty acids away from the treated area and towards the liver, so that they are not reabsorbed by the remaining fat cells.
Unlike CoolSculpting, the treatment area doesn't need to fit an applicator in order to perform the treatment, and unlike Injection Lipolysis, the fat doesn't have to be more than 1/2" thick.
The benefit of ultrasonic cavitation over CoolSculpting and Injection Lipolysis is that there's often an immediate visible decrease in the size of the fatty area with an ultrasonic cavitation treatment, versus having to wait at least several weeks before seeing improvement with the other methods.
The benefit of CoolSculpting and Injection Lipolysis over ultrasonic cavitation is that the results appear to be permanent.
With any current fat reducing treatments and devices, gaining weight will cause growth in the remaining fat cells that may make previous results impossible to see.
