Injection Lipolysis
Simply melting superfluous fat away by means of an injection is a fascinating idea. During this procedure the substance phosphatidylcholine (PPC) is directly injected into undesired fat deposits. The active substance is a natural compound made from the soybean. The body itself produces this substance in the same composition for use in multiple tasks, especially in the field of fat metabolism.
Dr. Hasengschwandtner of Austria, the Medical and Scientific Director of NETWORK Lipolysis, proceeded with the development of this therapy. Apart from reducing undesired side-effects, Dr. Hasengschwandtner and his team succeeded in improving treatment results considerably. Members of the NETWORK have carried out thousands of treatments and have gathered a lot of experience with the specialized NETWORK injection lipolysis.
Fat deposits slowly fade away
Lipolysis injections must not be regarded as a new miracle drug for weight reduction. But when it comes to fat deposits, which cannot be eliminated by nutritional therapy or concerted therapeutic exercises lipolysis injections initiate a process during which fat is melted away and then eliminated from the body via the usual metabolic process. As a result, fat cells start to melt away and are eliminated to an increasing degree. And due to its elasticity, the skin contracts to build a smooth homogenous surface.
Areas qualified for treatment are:
- Face
- double chin
- jowls
- Body
- gluteofemoral adiposity (saddlebags)
- inner thigh
- lower buttocks/transition to thigh
- love handles
- hips
- upper and lower belly
- fat bulges at shoulder-arm-joints
- upper arm
- knees
- dorsal areas
- Treatment of cellulite
- Thighs
- Lipoma
More than 80% of the patients are very satisfied with the results after 2-3 treatments
Risks of the Therapy
The fact that lipolysis injections have not yet been officially approved as a therapy is to be regarded as a general risk. But it is not the only therapy successfully applied with out official approval. A well-known example for millions of treatments over many years without approval are the botulinum toxin injections for the treatment of furrows. Health risks, however, have not been observed by the members of NETWORK-Lipolysis. The active substance itself and its elimination from the body via metabolism is no problem at all and has generally been investigated and documented.
Almost every patient shows some temporary side effects after treatment like redness, swelling and muscle ache-like discomfort and –in some cases-hematoma. After a few days, however, any discomfort at the treated region will have disappeared.
Dr. Overstreet will determine your personal information and inform you of general side effects and risks during a comprehensive personal conversation.
Patient Information and Treatment
The medication used for lipolysis injections is a liver protection medication known for many years now; it is also applied to prevent fat embolism in blood.
At this time, however, this medication has not yet been approved for lipolysis injections. For this reason, there are special patient information requirements with respect to the application of this product. Dr. Overstreet is a physician affiliated with NETWORK-Lipolysis and fully qualified to advise you thoroughly.
Many thousands of treatments have been performed thoughout the world, and as yet no serious side effects have been observed. Nevertheless, the therapy must be carried out by medical experts trained in this field. Dr. Overstreet is one of these qualified experts.
In order for the therapy to be successful, the physician must have knowledge about fat deposits in the body, the correct injection technique and the right dosage for the treatment. While the treatment seems simple, this knowledge is of utmost importance.
