What is the fat-dissolving injection?

The fat-dissolving injection is a gentle method for fat reduction without surgery. It is also called injection lipolysis. A special active ingredient is injected directly into small fat deposits. This active ingredient helps the body to dissolve the fat cells.

In Zurich, many people choose this treatment because they don't want surgery. There are no incisions and no general anesthesia. The fat-dissolving injection is particularly suitable for small, stubborn fat deposits such as a double chin or small pockets of fat on the stomach.

For which areas of the body is the treatment suitable?

The fat-dissolving injection is ideal for small fat deposits. It is particularly frequently used to treat a double chin. Small fat deposits on the abdomen, hips, upper arms, or back can also be treated.

It's important to know that this method is not intended for severe obesity. It helps with localized problem areas. At the Jilt Clinic in Zurich, a preliminary assessment is conducted to determine if the treatment is suitable for the desired area.

Preparation for the fat-dissolving injection

A detailed consultation takes place before the treatment. During this consultation, your wishes are discussed and your skin is examined. Any pre-existing medical conditions are also clarified.

Good preparation is essential for a successful outcome. In Zurich, great emphasis is placed on safety and patient education. At the Jilt Clinic, every treatment is individually planned.

The actual treatment process step by step

First, the treatment area is precisely marked. This ensures that the injections are evenly distributed. Then, the active ingredient is injected into the fatty tissue using fine needles.

The session usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes. Swelling or redness may occur after the treatment. This reaction indicates that the active ingredient is working. Many patients can go home immediately afterward.

What happens in the body after the injection?

After the injection, the active ingredient begins to dissolve the fat cells. The destroyed fat cells are then removed by the body via the lymphatic system. This process takes several weeks.

The results are not immediately visible. A change is usually noticeable after three to six weeks. The body needs time to completely break down the fat.

Aftercare and behavior after treatment

Swelling may occur after the fat-dissolving injection. This can last for a few days. Cooling the area helps to alleviate the discomfort.

Exercise and light movement support fat loss. However, you should avoid strong massages or pressure on the treated area. Good aftercare is important for an even result.

How many sessions are necessary?

Often, one session is not enough. Depending on the size of the fat area, two to four treatments may be necessary. There should be several weeks between sessions.

An individualized treatment plan ensures that the goal is achieved safely. In Zurich, the number of sessions is always tailored to the individual's body and wishes.
