Lipolytic injections, also known as lipotropic injections, are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to target and reduce localized fat deposits in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, or chin.

These injections typically contain a combination of compounds such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholic acid, which work to break down fat cells in the treated area. The body then naturally eliminates the released fat over time.

Lipolytic injections can be used to target stubborn pockets of fat in various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and chin.

During a lipolytic injection session, the treatment area is typically cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic. The injection is then administered directly into the targeted fat deposits using a fine needle. Multiple injections may be required depending on the size of the area being treated.

Results from lipolytic injections are gradual and typically become noticeable over several weeks as the body metabolizes and eliminates the fat cells. Multiple treatment sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results.

Lipolytic injections are generally considered safe. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or discomfort at the injection site.
