In the lipolysis method, a substance called "phosphatidylcholine" derived from "soy lecithin" is used. This substance is naturally present in the human body and plays a significant role in fat metabolism. In fact, this substance has been used as a medication for lowering cholesterol for approximately a decade.

The purpose of this method is to inject this substance into the areas with excess fat, allowing the fat to dissolve in the desired areas. When injected into the body, it dissolves the cell membrane of the fat cell. The fat inside the cell is dissolved by the liver. Since the cell membrane of the fat cell is dissolved in this method, it is very effective in increasing the numerical increase of fat cells. Therefore, fat accumulation in certain areas completely disappears.

How does lipolysis work? This treatment method can eliminate regional fat accumulations in the body without causing sagging in the skin because it accelerates natural fat breakdown. The expected cosmetic results are achieved between 4-8 sessions.

What are the purposes of using lipolysis? Lipotherapy is used for the treatment of shape deformities due to fat accumulation, cellulite treatment, gynecomastia, lipomas, and the removal of fat around the eyes. It has been effective in the elimination of fat under the eyes, which is called cholesterol buildup, for about five years. It can also be applied in the treatment of shape deformities that may occur after surgical fat removal.

It is particularly effective in eliminating the "orange peel" appearance caused by cellulite. It is irreplaceable in the treatment of fat accumulations on the back of men.

In which areas is lipolysis effective? Lipolysis can reduce fat not only in the body but also in the chin, submental fat, or bags under the eyes. It is highly effective in areas where liposuction is difficult to perform. It can also be applied to the arms, abdomen, waist, hips, and legs. The results are long-lasting as long as a balanced diet is followed and supported by exercise.

What are the side effects of lipolysis? There are no significant side effects. There may be temporary swelling, sensitivity, itching, and bruising. These effects usually subside within 48 hours.

Is there scientific data on lipolysis? Lipolysis is a treatment method that started to be applied to patients after 2000 studies conducted worldwide. The chance of obtaining unsuccessful results in this method is less than three percent.

Furthermore, 72.41% of the patients who received the treatment achieved satisfactory results after the first session. In 65% of the patients, cellulite decreased significantly, and 70% lost one dress size in the first four sessions.

What are the advantages of lipolysis? Lipolysis has many advantages. First of all, it is very safe because general anesthesia is not required during the procedure. It is also straightforward as it does not cause pain. The recovery process is fast, and there is no need for the patient to stay in the hospital after the procedure. Moreover, it does not leave scars on the patient's body. Only mild redness occurs in the area where the procedure is performed after the operation. Compared to other fat removal methods, it is quite affordable.

How many sessions of lipolysis should be applied? The success of lipolysis and the number of sessions required depend on the patient's weight, age, and the amount of fat in their body. Typically, a minimum of two to four sessions is needed for problem areas. 80% of patients notice changes in their bodies after the second session. After each session, the body naturally resets the fat waste, which is dissolved on its own.

What should be considered? The amount of the administered drug, the dosage to be given according to the area, and the correct application are crucial. The situations in which this method should not be applied can be listed as follows:

• Patients under the age of 18, • Pregnant or nursing women, • Diabetic patients, • Patients with liver or kidney disorders, • Patients who have had a recent infection
