Lipolysis
Targeted non-surgical fat reduction using precision injection therapy.
What It Is
Injection lipolysis uses specially formulated compounds (phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate) to permanently dissolve and destroy localized fat cells. The body's lymphatic system then naturally eliminates the broken-down fat over several weeks.
Who It's For
Patients with localized stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common areas include double chin, inner thighs, flanks, abdomen, arms, and under-buttock fat (banana roll).
Key Benefit
Permanently destroys fat cells in targeted areas — once eliminated, those cells cannot return, providing lasting contouring results.
How It Works
The lipolytic solution works at a cellular level to physically destroy fat cells. Unlike diet and exercise which only shrink fat cells, lipolysis eliminates them permanently, providing lasting anatomical changes.
1
A series of micro-injections deliver the lipolytic solution directly into the fat layer at precise depths.
2
The active compounds disrupt fat cell membranes, causing them to permanently break down.
3
Released fatty acids and cellular debris are processed and eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over 4–8 weeks.
Areas Treated
Double chin (submental fat)
Inner thighs
Flanks & love handles
Abdomen
Upper arms
Under-buttock area
Comfort Level
30–60 minutes depending on number of areas treated
Treatment Process
Consultation
Body assessment and photograph documentation with Dr. Eskandari. Determination of candidacy, number of sessions needed, and realistic outcome expectations.
Treatment Process
Cleansing and optional topical anesthetic. Precise injection grid mapped on the skin. Multiple micro-injections delivered systematically throughout the treatment area.
Comfort Level
Temporary burning and stinging sensation during and after injections. Swelling and firmness in treated area for 1–3 days. Anti-inflammatory aftercare recommended.
Expected Results
Understanding potential reactions and ensuring safe, informed treatment.
Outcomes
Visible fat reduction, improved body contours, measurable reduction in fat layer thickness.
Timeline
Gradual reduction over 4–8 weeks per session; 2–4 sessions typically needed 6–8 weeks apart for optimal results.
Longevity
Permanent fat cell destruction; results maintained with stable weight. Weight gain can enlarge remaining fat cells in other areas.
Risk & Side Effects
Understanding potential reactions and ensuring safe, informed treatment.
Expected: swelling, bruising, and tenderness at injection sites for up to 1 week
Nodules or firmness in treated area, typically resolving within weeks
Rare risk of contour irregularities if technique is not precise
Safety Note
Not suitable for patients with liver or kidney disease, active infections, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Only medical-grade formulations are used at Golden Aesthetic.
