While liposuction surgery is a very popular form of plastic surgery especially in the area of body contouring and fat removal, it is not the only option available to patients who want instant fat reduction. Particularly useful in removing small localized pockets of fat deposits, lipo injections offer a nonsurgical treatment to produce nearly the same results that liposuction surgery would.
Another option is even less invasive than a needle injection and that is the use of thermal heat energy to literally melt the fat through the skin. Both these techniques are popular and consultation with a plastic surgeon can help any prospective patient determine what procedure is best for their particular needs and desires.
There are several treatments that use the lipo injection method of fat removal. In North America the most popular trade name is Lipodissolve which essentially is used to reduce fat in small areas such as the facial regions. Many people enjoy treatments like Lipodissolve because it produces several desirable side effects including skin tightening and rejuvenation results.
In this method of fat removal, the chemical solution is designed to dissolve the fat tissue and break it down into a form that can be removed naturally by the body as waste. This eliminates the need for surgery to suction the fat from the body but also limits the treatment to reducing very trace amounts of fat per session.
The other option we mentioned previously is known as Thermage. This is probably as non invasive as any procedure can get since it involves merely waving a laser device over the skin. The heat travels at a frequency so that it is specific in targeting fat cells without damaging the skin and other tissue surrounding the area. The fat is melted and also removed naturally by the body. These are obviously very slow treatments for removing and significant amount of fat but great for detailed sculpting of very particular areas of the body.
