Lipolysis
It is the procedure of melting fat and the membrane that covers fat cells around the problematic area. A medicine mixture that help weight loss is applied to the areas the patient desires to slim with very thin needles. This mixture contains Lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) which has no side effects. It is made of herbal extracts; it also helps balance the cholesterol level.
After being used in the USA and Europe, Lipolysis needles are now being applied in Turkey to get rid of cellulite. Thanks to this method, which is also called American Mesotherapy or liposuction needle, removal of extra fat tissue (without surgery and side effects) is obtained.
The main goal of lipolysis is to help patients get a healthy and smooth skin. The treatment allows patients to continue their daily routine. The results are long-lasting. This method is used to remove regional and permanent fat cells. It is not a method for losing weight. Lipolysis is supported by scientific studies and the results are more effective if applied properly.
