Lipolysis Injection
Lipolysis Injections
Injections into stubborn pockets of subcutaneous fat.
For stubborn fat that resists exercise
Lipolysis (fat-dissolving) injections place a solution into stubborn pockets of subcutaneous fat, such as on the upper arms, abdomen, or thighs. The ingredients and amount are chosen based on the area and fat thickness.
If weight management is needed, we recommend a diet and exercise consultation first, and plan injections alongside lifestyle care.
