The “fat dissolving injection” is officially known as “injection lipolysis” or “injection fat reduction.” A frequently used procedure in this context is the application of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholic acid (DC), which are injected into the fat deposits to dissolve fat cells. These can be used wherever you have a little too much fatty tissue, such as on the lower abdomen, thighs, upper arms, loins, double chin, armpits or knees. The active ingredients in the fat removal injection aim to destabilise the structure of the fat cells, which leads to the dissolution and release of the fat. The body breaks down the released fat and transports it via the bloodstream to other areas of the body for metabolisation. ### What do I have to consider before treatment? - Blood thinners should not be taken until 1 week before the treatment (e.g. Aspirin, Marcoumar, Ibuprofen, etc.) - Avoid caffeine/tea and alcoholic drinks (e.g. cola, energy drinks, coffee, green tea, etc.) 24 hours before the treatment. - It is best not to put make-up on and be well nourished for the treatment - if you suffer from herpes, we recommend taking antivirals prophylactically (these can be purchased from us or prescribed by your GP) ![20240502_150905_0000 (1)](https://seesthetics.ch/hs-fs/hubfs/20240502_150905_0000%20(1).png?width=1414&height=1832&name=20240502_150905_0000%20(1).png "20240502_150905_0000 (1)") ![20240502_150935_0000](https://seesthetics.ch/hs-fs/hubfs/20240502_150935_0000.png?width=1414&height=1999&name=20240502_150935_0000.png "20240502_150935_0000") ### **How does the treatment work?** 1. Photos are taken. 2. Marking of the area to be treated. 3. Local anaesthesia after disinfection of the skin. 4. Injection of the product into the area to be treated with the unwanted fat accumulation. 5. Cleansing of the skin. ### Risks and side effects - common: redness, swelling and haematoma (bruising), pain/burning, feeling of pressure and tension, unevenness or asymmetry - rare: infections, activation of herpes - very rare: allergy or anaphylaxis, tissue death (necrosis) This information is incomplete (rare diseases are not listed) and is only for information purposes.
