When will lipolysis injection help?
Lipolytics work locally. This means that they reduce the amount of fat in the area where they are injected.
Fat dissolving injections are most commonly used to correct the shape of the arms, thighs, buttocks, lower abdomen and waist. Lipolytics can also help improve facial contours and remove excess fat from the double chin, cheeks, and neck. They are also sometimes used to treat fatty areas of the face, including the eyelids.
How do injectable lipolysis work?
Lipolytics are injected into the subcutaneous fat tissue using microneedles. There are two types of fat dissolving injections with different mechanisms of action:
- DIRECT-ACTING LIPOLYTICS
These drugs directly destroy the fat cells that make up the fat deposits. They convert the fat released from the cells into an emulsion that is easily eliminated from the body. Direct-acting fat dissolvers are more commonly used to target large amounts of fat over a significant area.
- INDIRECT-ACTING LIPOLYTICS
In this case, the drugs do not destroy the fat cells themselves. They increase metabolism in the area of injection, stimulating the natural processing of fat. Indirect fat dissolvers act more gently and more suitable for the removal of small fat deposits as well as for fine facial corrections.
In addition, both direct and indirect lipolytics contain additional active substances. They improve blood circulation, which accelerates the removal of the resulting emulsion or fat processing products from the body. These substances also increase lymphatic drainage, which contributes to the elimination of cellulite.
How do I choose the right fat dissolver for me?
The choice of lipolytic depends on the area of fat to be removed and the volume of the fat.

How do I use fat dissolving shots step by step?
1. Remove makeup.
2. Disinfect the skin with any antiseptic liquid.

4. Apply local anesthesia with gel, cream or spray.
5. Make injections of fat dissolvers.
6. Repeat antiseptic treatment.
7. Apply soothing and anti-inflammatory products to the skin.
Lipolytics are injected with ultra-fine needles, which reduce discomfort. The depth of the injections depends on the area where excess fat is to be removed. For example, on the body and extremities to get into the subcutaneous fat tissue, the needle should be inserted to 1-1.5 cm, and on the face - no more than 5 mm.
Fat dissolvers are used in courses. You may need from 3 to 8 sessions of injections. The interval between sessions should be 3 days to 2 weeks. The exact number of procedures depends on the area where you need to remove fat deposits and their volume.
Remember that fat dissolving injections should only be performed by a physician or professional cosmetologist!
What happens after the mesotherapy session?

4. For the first day, do not touch the treated area and do not use cosmetics there.
5. Avoid heavy physical exertion, swimming pool, sauna and solarium for one week after the injection.
6. Drink 2 - 2.5 liters of pure water daily for 2 weeks.
When will I see the result of lipolysis injection?
Some volume reduction can be noticed as early as 2-3 days after the first injection. However, the final effect can only be assessed after the full course of injections has been completed and the edema has subsided.
How long will the results last?
Remember: shot that dissolves fat are only an effective method for eliminating existing fat deposits. However, they cannot prevent weight regain. This means that the maintenance of the obtained results depends only on you. To control body weight, doctors recommend:
- Adhere to the principles of a balanced diet, choose healthy foods and do not overeat.
- Moderate but regular physical exercise.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
In addition, modern science will help you to maintain the obtained results. For example, Meamo offers you Saxenda, a drug specifically designed to prevent weight gain. It is administered by subcutaneous injections in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Saxenda increases the feeling of satiety and fullness in the stomach and reduces appetite by blocking the feeling of hunger. This significantly reduces the amount of food consumed.
