Slimming injections are a type of cosmetic procedure that temporarily reduces your body’s fat deposits. This is achieved by introducing chemicals into the bloodstream that make the body break down fat cells. The injections are then used to target specific areas where fat is stored. This might be in your abdomen, thighs, or arms. They are also known as liposuction injections or fat-reduction injections. There are many advantages to having these injections done, such as they are relatively quick and easy to perform, require no downtime, and have few side effects. As with any other type of surgery, however, there are risks involved.
What are the different types of injections?
There are three different types of injections used for fat reduction: lipo-slimming, mesotherapy, and cryo-lipo. Each one targets a different area of the body, with different effects. The following table details the differences between each type of fat reduction injection:
Lipo-slimming injections
These injections are designed to target fat deposits in the abdomen and love handles. They are usually performed under local anaesthesia and can be performed in the doctor’s office or operating room. They can be performed with or without sedation.These injections are made from fat (lipo) extracted from the patient’s own body. The fat is injected into the fat deposits that need to be reduced. The fat cells are broken down by the body’s natural process. Once the fat cells have been broken down, the body removes the remaining fat and the fat cells are expelled from the body.The effectiveness of lipo-slimming injections is often limited by the fact that the fat cells are taken from the patient’s own body, so they have no way of telling the body to stop making more fat cells. This means that the injections are only effective for short periods of time before the fat cells grow back. They are usually effective for about six months before the fat cells grow back and require another round of injections.
Mesotherapy injections
Mesotherapy injections are designed to target fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, or arms. They are usually performed under local anaesthesia and can be performed in the doctor’s office or operating room. They can be performed with or without sedation.These injections are made from sugar (meso) and vitamins injected into the fat deposits that need to be reduced. The sugar is intended to cause irritation and inflammation in the fat cells. The body’s immune system then attacks the fat cells and breaks them down. The vitamins are intended to speed up this process. The effectiveness of mesotherapy injections is limited because they are only effective for small areas of the body and they only have a short-term effect. They are usually effective for about six months before the fat cells grow back and require another round of injections.
Cryo-lipo injections
Cryo-lipo injections are designed to target fat deposits in the abdomen, thighs, or arms. They are usually performed under general anaesthesia and can be performed in the doctor’s office or operating room. They can be performed with or without sedation.These injections are made from fat removed from the patient’s own body. The fat is frozen and then thawed. The fat cells are destroyed by the extreme cold and then the body’s immune system attacks the fat cells. The effectiveness of cryo-lipo injections is limited because they are only effective for small areas of the body and they only have a short-term effect. They are usually effective for about six months before the fat cells grow back and require another round of injections.
How do you get fat reduction injections?
If you decide to get fat reduction injections, your doctor will discuss your options with you. You will be asked to sign a written informed consent form that explains the risks and benefits of the procedure. If you decide to get injections, you will be asked to stop eating or drinking anything containing sugar for about a week before the injections. This will make it easier for the fat to be broken down in the injections.You will be asked to fast for about an hour before the injections. This will make it easier for the fat to be broken down in the injections. You may be asked to fast for longer if your doctor feels it is necessary.
Risks of fat reduction injections
Any type of surgery has risks, and fat reduction injections are no exception. The following table details some of the most common risks of fat reduction injections:
Conclusion
Fat reduction injections are a quick and easy way to reduce fat deposits in specific areas of the body. They are usually performed under local anaesthesia in the doctor’s office or operating room. They are relatively safe, but they do have risks. The most important thing to remember is to be sure you are comfortable with the decision to get fat reduction injections. If you decide to get injections, you can expect them to be effective for about six months before the fat cells grow back and require another round of injections.
