Lipolytics for weight loss. Contraindications and side effects after the procedure on the face, abdomen. Reviews

Lipolytics are injectable drugs used to remove subcutaneous fat deposits. The funds do not eliminate the cause of excess weight, but only have a temporary cosmetic effect in the area of ​​administration of the composition.

To achieve the desired result, it is required to combine procedures with adjusting nutrition and physical activity. Lipolytics require special skill to use, and also have contraindications and side effects.

What it is?

Lipolytics are fat burning substances administered subcutaneously to normalize metabolism in the area of ​​application. They were originally used to remove cholesterol deposits in the eyelid area.

It was noted that the drugs simultaneously improve the condition of the skin. This "side" effect became the "starting point" in the development and use of lipolytics to eliminate subcutaneous fat.

Composition of anti-fat drugs

Lipolytics (contraindications, first of all, are possible allergic reactions to the substances included in the composition of the drug) are mainly multicomponent drugs (there are also one-component drugs), which may include.

The multi-component composition allows you to achieve a better result from the product used (not only to eliminate fat, but also to improve the condition of the epidermis).At the request of the client, natural or synthetic compounds can be used for the procedures.

Allergy sufferers are advised to use one-component lipolytics to exclude the development of complications.

Mechanism of action

The process of obesity develops due to metabolic disorders, poor nutrition and an inactive lifestyle (these are the main reasons). Excess fat can be deposited on the walls of blood vessels (cholesterol plaques), in muscle fibers, and in the subcutaneous layer.

When using lipolytics, the following processes occur:

• fat cells are broken down to an emulsion;
• blood circulation and lymph exchange are activated, which allows you to remove the split fat from the body;
• the substances that make up the lipolytic normalize metabolic processes and cell regeneration. As a result, the condition of the skin improves. Elasticity is restored, puffiness, peeling and cellulite are eliminated;
• the condition and patency of blood vessels improves.

  

After the procedure with lipolytic, fat deposits are eliminated, both in the subcutaneous layer and in the muscle and blood vessels in a short time. This effect cannot be achieved with diets or physical activity.

Is it possible to lose weight with lipolytics?

Lipolytics (contraindications, possible complications and the benefits of the procedure are assessed in advance, before the start of the course of injections) allow you to achieve a quick result (when compared with diet and physical activity). But this method cannot remove large fat deposits.

During the course, the maximum layer of fatty tissue burned is 4-6 cm.

Lipolytics are used not to reduce a large amount of weight, but to correct the figure in the presence of cellulite and small fat folds. After the procedure, about 100-150 g of fatty deposits are removed. To achieve a tangible result, a course is used, consisting of 1-2 injections per week for 3 months.

With the complex use of lipolytics, physical activity and diet, it is possible not only to lose weight, but also to maintain the smoothness and elasticity of the skin.

Areas of application of lipotherapy

Lipotherapy refers to a safe method of removing fatty deposits, so this procedure can be performed on the following parts of the body.

It:

• eyelids... In this area, lipolytics do not eliminate adipose tissue, but normalize metabolic processes and restore skin elasticity;

• cheeks and chin... The preparations allow you to eliminate the double chin, remove excess fat cells and tighten the face oval;
• neck... The funds are used to eliminate skin laxity and sagging. The components of the drug normalize cell regeneration, restore skin elasticity and normalize metabolic processes;
• shoulders... Lipolytics are used to eliminate fat deposits, normalize metabolism and increase skin elasticity;
• Hands... The composition used allows you to eliminate puffiness from the extremities, restore blood supply and metabolic processes;
• articular area on the hands... The drugs are used to remove folds in this area, restore blood flow and increase the tone of the epidermis;
• belly and sides... In this area, the effect of removing excess fat is not always achieved. But due to the increase in skin elasticity, the removal of excess fluid, the skin tightens and tightens. Additionally, the procedure makes stretch marks on the abdomen less noticeable;
• gluteal region and thighs... Lipolytics allow you to eliminate excess fat, cellulite and restore the elasticity of the epidermis.

Before choosing fat removal with lipolytics, you need to determine the area of ​​influence. If it is necessary to treat several areas of the body, it is necessary to select the sequence of procedures in advance.

Direct and indirect drugs

Lipolytics are distinguished not only by their composition (synthetic or natural, multicomponent or single-component), but by the method of affecting adipose tissue (direct and indirect effects). Depending on this, the number of contraindications to the procedure changes.

Direct-acting lipolytics consist of components that have a destructive effect on fat cells... As a result, a kind of emulsion is formed from the fat, which easily leaves the body in natural ways.

Indirect lipolytics destroy adipose tissue by accelerating the metabolic process in tissues. These drugs give less effect, therefore they are often used to complete the course of injections of direct-acting lipolytics (to prolong the effect).

List and short description of lipolytics, prices

Among the variety of lipolytics, the following drugs are more popular:

When performing the procedure in the salon, an additional fee is charged for the services rendered. It is important that before choosing a remedy, familiarization with the contraindications and possible side effects is required. And also, when choosing, it is important to know for which processing zone the drug is purchased.

Injection technique

The lipolytic application procedure consists of the following steps:

• consultation not only with a cosmetologist, but also a therapist to exclude possible contraindications. The amount of subcutaneous fat in the client is also determined;
• after determining the treatment area, the required amount of the drug is calculated;
• since the process of introducing a lipolytic is painful and if there is no anesthetic component in the composition of the agent, then before starting the procedure, the use of a special anesthetic cream is required;
• the drug is injected with a special syringe to a depth of 1 to 1.5 cm;
• upon completion, a healing and soothing cream is applied to the skin.

To speed up the process of splitting fat deposits and their removal, it is required to increase the drinking regime. It is recommended to drink 0.5 liters of pure water immediately after the procedure. The frequency of the procedures and the intervals between them are determined individually depending on the type of preparation, the amount of subcutaneous fat and the body's response (at what rate the fat will go away).

Contraindications to the use of injection lipotherapy

Lipolytics (contraindications for each drug are individual, but there is a general list of prohibitions) are not used in the presence of the following pathologies.

And this:

• oncological diseases;
• pathologies accompanied by convulsions, involuntary muscle twitching (epilepsy, nervous disorders);

• intolerance to components or the presence of an allergic reaction;
• period of gestation and feeding of the child;
• poor blood clotting;
• the presence of dermatological infectious diseases or trauma at the injection site;
• chronic diseases in the acute stage;
• kidney pathology;
• endocrine and autoimmune diseases.

Colds or a simple fever are also a contraindication to the procedure.

Side effects and complications after the weight loss procedure on the face, abdomen, in other areas

The development of side effects after the use of lipolytic is possible even if the procedure was carried out correctly, and all conditions were observed during the recovery period.

Possible complications:

• the development of an allergic reaction (rash, itching, swelling at the injection site);
• nausea or vomiting;
• the formation of seals and hematomas at the puncture site of the needle;
• a slight increase in temperature indicators;
• suppuration of the injection sites due to infection (if sterility is not observed by a specialist during the procedure);
• hemorrhage from puncture sites when a syringe enters an artery or vein (due to the inexperience of a specialist);
• an inflammatory process in the muscles, if the needle was inserted deeply, and the composition was distributed in the muscle tissues, and not in the fat layer (the doctor's fault).

When choosing a salon for the procedure, it is recommended to read the reviews about the institution, and make sure that there are certificates for lipolytic injections.

Can injections be done at home?

The procedure requires the knowledge of not only a beautician, but also a medical worker. Since it is important to know the location of blood vessels, nerves and be able to properly provide emergency care if necessary.

Also, for the injection, additional agents are required (pain relieving creams and soothing and disinfecting solutions). And the introduction of the composition into the facial part on its own is impossible (the likelihood of damage to the facial nerve is high). Therefore, it is not recommended to inject with lipolytic at home.

Lipolytics and alcohol: compatibility, consequences

It is forbidden to drink alcohol 2 days before the procedure and within 3 days after it. Drinks cause blood vessels to dilate, which increases the risk of bleeding.

Additionally, as a result of the action of ethanol, tissue edema increases (it does not allow the removal of split fats), which leads to a significant decrease in the effectiveness of the procedure.

Lipolytic creams - an alternative to injections?

Lipolytic creams can be used to reduce the amount of subcutaneous fat.

The drugs have a number of advantages over the injection method of using lipolids:

• of contraindications, only a possible allergic reaction to the components of the drug;
• the composition is absorbed through the skin, no punctures are required. As a result, the risk of infection during the procedure is zero;
• there are no special restrictions in use over time (unless the composition is addictive);
• the process of applying the cream is painless;
• there are no seals, hematomas, edema on the skin;
• there is no recovery period;
• can be used at home.

List of recommended creams:

Unlike injections, long-term use of the cream is required to achieve the result. This is the only drawback. Lipolytics allow you to restore the oval of the face, the refinement of the neck and reduce the waist in a short time, and without physical effort and dieting.

But the drugs are not able to destroy a large amount of fatty deposits and are used only with small body shaping and cellulite removal.

It is recommended to perform procedures with injections of lipolytics in proven salons, since the drugs have not only contraindications, but also side effects.
