The basis of lipolytic drugs is soy enzyme or lecithin. It is produced by the human body and promotes the breakdown of fats; lecithin is also present in various products.
In cosmetology, the drug is used in its pure form, and it is also added to various vitamin cocktails that additionally nourish and moisturize the skin.
The duration of the effect after a course of lipolytics depends on the area of administration, on the drug used, on the age and lifestyle of the patient.
Indications for use
Lipolitics are not a panacea for excessive volumes. Drug therapy promotes slight weight loss in the affected areas and improves the quality of the integument. The procedure does not allow burning a large layer of fat. The drugs are used to eliminate cosmetic defects, partially lose weight, and obtain a lifting effect.
In the facial area, lipolytics are used to achieve the following results:
- tightening loose skin;
- elimination of double chin;
- formation of a natural oval;
- reducing the volume of the cheeks;
- elimination of defects in the shape of the nose;
- minimizing bags under the eyes;
- correction of nasolabial discs, Bisha's lumps, jowls.
The most popular is the creation, with the help of lipolytics, of the correct contours of the lower third of the face, altered by the action of gravity in combination with metabolic disorders. Patients are determined to shape their cheeks and chin. Some problems cannot be solved with diets or sports: a bag under the eye, a fleshy nose. The result of using lipolytic gives a chance for non-surgical correction.
Note! The use of lipolytics is not limited by age or gender. Cosmetologists administer drug therapy according to indications to young girls, older women, and men. The doctor will tell you whether a specific problem can be eliminated with lipolytics.
How to promote weight loss
Lipolytic drugs are of natural origin. Components that improve tissue condition are added to soy lecithin. Experts assure that lipolytics are effective for weight loss, they destroy “harmful” fat cells and normalize fat metabolism: excess subcutaneous fat disappears, muscle tissue is freed from it, veins and arteries are cleansed. The fat is converted into an emulsion, then into water; the body easily eliminates it, mainly through urine.
What other benefits are lipolytics for the body? The lipolysis procedure cleans blood vessels and improves blood circulation, but is used to correct appearance: there are lipolytics for the body and face. These drugs should not be considered “globally effective”: the injections act locally, reducing the volume and eliminating cellulite in the treated areas. If there is a large amount of deposits, the method is ineffective. The use of lipolytics in combination with other agents gives more striking results, more often in patients who need minor correction - for example, in the abdominal area.
Review of popular drugs
Lipolytic agents are conventionally divided into substances of direct and indirect action. The first drugs are aimed at destroying the fat cell, including the membrane. The weight loss results are noticeable. The second drugs are considered weaker.
Partial breakdown of fats occurs. More often, doctors use indirect lipolytics to improve the appearance of the skin, strengthen it, and enhance the weight loss effect of other procedures.
Doctors prefer to inject substances as part of a mesotherapy cocktail. The cosmetologist selects a drug for the procedure based on the existing problems, which will act most effectively.

The principle of action of lipolytics and the effectiveness of injections
Getting into the thickness of adipose tissue, lipolytics destroy the membranes of fat cells, transforming deposits into acids. Decay products are removed from the body through the lymphatic and circulatory systems. The compounds in their pure form work effectively and almost immediately begin to destroy cells. Preparations based on herbal ingredients are gentler.
Lipolitics with a mild principle of action preserve the number of fat cells, reducing their volume.
Cocktails based on lipolytics, while eliminating excess fat deposits and nourishing the skin of the face, do not solve the problem of sagging skin.
In one course of injections, lipolytics can reduce the fat layer by several centimeters. The first result can be assessed after 2 – 3 procedures. On average, the course consists of 10 sessions.
Preparation for the procedure
The administration of lipolytics does not require special preparations. Before the procedure, it is not recommended to consume medications, alcohol, excessive amounts of water, or foods that help remove moisture. This will help avoid negative manifestations: bruises, swelling.
It is advisable to provide the body with sufficient sleep the night before the session. It is not recommended to wear heavy makeup on the day of the procedure. It’s good if the behavior is natural: habitual awakening, familiar diet, absence of stressful situations.
Carrying out manipulations
When a patient comes to the clinic, the doctor conducts a preliminary conversation. The cosmetologist performs an examination, gets acquainted with the client’s wishes, finds out possible contraindications, and prescribes tests to clarify the general clinical picture. Based on the information received, the doctor proposes a correction scheme: selects the substance, dosage, and number of interventions.
Advice. If the cosmetologist does not show interest in your well-being and performs a cursory examination, then it is better to refuse the procedure with such a doctor. It is recommended to perform the manipulation in a clinic with a good reputation. Positive reviews from friends are the best option.
Injections of the substance are performed only when you feel stable. Elevated temperature, pressure surges, and other manifestations of disease are excluded.
Before injecting the drug, be sure to clean the skin in the affected areas and treat it with an antiseptic. Anesthesia is performed at the request of the patient. The injection procedure does not cause significant discomfort.
The doctor marks the injection sites in problem areas. The drug is injected under the skin with a thin needle pointwise to a depth of 1–1.5 cm. The dosage of the substance is determined individually and depends on the nature of the problem. The procedure is completed by applying an antiseptic, a cream that reduces skin irritation.
After the injections, the doctor suggests relaxing and resting for 30–40 minutes. Time helps to understand the body's reaction to the injected substance. If the patient feels well, they are released.
Recovery period
The lipolytic injection procedure rarely takes place in one session. The product begins to act immediately, but a noticeable result is formed after 3-5 applications. The course includes 3–15 procedures. The doctor selects the number of sessions individually. Manipulations are carried out at intervals of 1–2 weeks. With proper follow-up care and a healthy lifestyle, the results are permanent. To consolidate and improve the effect, the course is repeated after 1–1.5 years.
After the procedure, complex skin care is not required. The exterior remains aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes swelling and bruising appear. After injections of the substance for 1–2 days, it is recommended to apply cooling compresses 2–4 times a day. It is advisable to abandon decorative cosmetics. Maintaining water balance is mandatory.
To prevent undesirable consequences and obtain a full result after the procedure, exclude for 10–20 days:
- physical exercise;
- exposure to ultraviolet radiation;
- steaming;
- swimming in the pool, open water;
- consumption of alcohol and drugs.
For healing, it is advisable to avoid exposure to sudden temperature changes. Skin restoration is facilitated by special creams that speed up the process. Your doctor will tell you how long it will take to return to your normal lifestyle.
Result and duration of effect
The effect of lipolytic administration develops gradually, so instant results should not be expected. The full effect of the products is noticeable 2-4 weeks after the procedure, when the adipose tissue is destroyed and removed from the injection area. In addition, in the first few days after injections, slight swelling and redness may appear in response to needle pricks, so it is premature to evaluate the result during this period.
The duration of the effect depends on many factors. The duration of the result is influenced by the characteristics of the patient’s body: tendency to gain weight, swelling of tissues, unhealthy eating behavior.

Session cost
The procedure for administering lipolytics requires special knowledge from the performer. It is not recommended to save money by contacting private individuals. Incorrectly performed injections of the product can seriously affect your appearance. It is advisable to perform the procedures in clinics and beauty salons.
The price of manipulation depends on the required amount of the substance and its cost. Rarely does the figure fall below 3 thousand rubles. per session. Often patients are simultaneously determined to narrow the nose, shape the tip, sculpt the cheeks, want to remove bags under the eyes, double chin, and reduce the severity of nasolabial folds.
This requires increased costs. An experienced cosmetologist will select the correct course of treatment, drug administration regimen, and recommend a remedy.
Contraindications
It is recommended to carefully approach the preliminary conversation with the cosmetologist. Health information helps the doctor eliminate possible contraindications. Questions must be answered sincerely. The result of the manipulation depends on this. The procedure will be denied if:
- intolerance to lipolytic components;
- malignant neoplasms;
- acute stage of any disease;
- pregnancy, lactation;
- cardiovascular disorders;
- difficulties with the kidneys, liver, endocrine system;
- HIV infection.
Important point! Injection interventions are not recommended during menstruation or when feeling unwell.
Consequences
If there are no contraindications, then the occurrence of side effects if the procedure is carried out correctly is minimal. Swelling, redness, and local hemorrhages of moderate localization are considered normal.
Seal formation may occur. In most cases, symptoms go away on their own within 2–5 days. If the swelling remains, or if skin tension bothers you, it is recommended to additionally consult with a cosmetologist.
Doctors record the following undesirable consequences:
- discomfort at the injection site, rashes (itching, burning, irritation);
- obsessive headache;
- nausea, vomiting, diarrhea;
- temperature increase;
- skin hyperpigmentation.
If pronounced manifestations occur that do not go away for 2–5 days, it is imperative to seek medical help. The consequences of incorrect actions when administering a substance are also complications: tissue necrosis, muscle fibrosis. The conditions are dangerous to health, are fraught with negative changes in appearance, and require special treatment.
Targeted neutralization of the drug in case of unsuccessful results is not required. The components of lipolytics are excreted naturally. Elimination of serious undesirable consequences requires an individual approach. The development of the result occurs gradually. If you are dissatisfied with the effect of the substance, stop subsequent sessions.
Advantages and disadvantages of the procedure
The injection lipolysis method has the following advantages:
- elimination of fat deposits without surgery;
- minimizing the risk of scars and cicatrices;
- prolonged effect with a small number of sessions;
- versatility (correction can be carried out on any part of the body);
- short recovery period;
- quick procedure (about half an hour).
Unfortunately, even such an effective method of appearance correction has its drawbacks:
- waste products arising from the breakdown of adipose tissue have a certain limit for excretion from the body, because the liver is under a large load and if this limit is exceeded, severe intoxication of the body may occur;
- also, due to the active removal of fat from the body, atherosclerosis may occur;
- if the removal of metabolites from the body is impaired, inflammation, ulcers and cracks may occur on the epidermis;
- when treating areas with significant fat deposits, asymmetry of body parts may occur (for example, treating areas of riding breeches, or buttocks, forearm, etc.);
- with flabby aging skin, sagging skin is observed, in this case lipolysis will not help, plastic surgery is needed to remove excess skin.
Non-injection intervention
An effect similar to the injection of the substance can be obtained with the help of physiotherapeutic influence on areas treated with special preparations. The procedure does not cause pain, there is no trauma to the skin, and many unpleasant consequences do not occur (redness, swelling, induration). The number of sessions is not limited, as with injection administration. Actions can be repeated until the desired result is obtained.
At home, lipolytic creams are used to eliminate excess volume and even out skin texture. The effectiveness of the products is less pronounced than the results from injections. You can use lipolytic cream regularly.
Popular products:
- Delipidex from Ella Baché (France). The products in the series have a warming effect, trigger fat burning processes, remove toxins, eliminate congestion, and saturate the skin with vitamins and minerals. A package of 180–200 ml is bought for 3500–6000 rubles.
- Thalasso from Natura Siberika (Russia). Hot cream helps break down fats, normalize metabolic processes, and restore blood microflow. You can purchase a 120 ml package for 300–400 rubles.
- Lipolitik Serum from Arabia (Russia). The product promotes the active breakdown of fats, the formation of contours, and has a lifting effect. A 100 ml package is purchased for 950–1100 rubles.
The preparations are effective for modeling the face and body. For minor contour correction, products with a lifting effect are often sufficient. The name “sculpting” does not mean the ability to eliminate fat.
Rehabilitation
After the correction, you should adhere to certain rules and recommendations for a week:
- do not sunbathe, and we are talking not only about staying in the open sun, but also about visiting a solarium, the negative effect of which can be even worse than from a simple tan;
- try not to overwork, and, if possible, minimize the level of physical stress on the body;
- refuse to visit the bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool;
- Take a bath only at moderate temperatures.
To minimize possible discomfort during the rehabilitation period, it is recommended to reduce swelling, itching or redness using short-term cooling.
Advantages and disadvantages
The procedure for exposure to lipolytics is considered young and has not yet gained mass popularity. Patients of cosmetology clinics often refuse injections, considering them harmful to health. The method has a lot of contraindications. A course of lipolytics has a high cost.
Patients seeking to change their contours are happy to use creams with a lipolytic effect and agree to non-injection interventions. Although subcutaneous administration of substances by doctors allows you to achieve results faster. The effect of injection drugs lasts longer.
Contour rhinoplasty will help:
- remove asymmetry;
- straighten the nose;
- reduce the tip of the nose
Injection rhinoplasty is performed using:
- fillers, for example, with hyaluronic acid;
- hormones, for example, Diprospan.
Safe and quick methods of non-surgical rhinoplasty include nose correction with threads or the application of a splint.
Separately, we will consider a modern method of nose correction without surgery - rhinoplasty with lipolytics.
Opinion of cosmetologists
The doctors are positive. The composition of lipolytics is considered completely safe. The technique is highly effective. In addition to weight loss, doctors are seeing positive effects on the skin. Obtaining the expected result requires sufficient experience in working with lipolytics. Instructions received on educational forums are not enough for full mastery of substances. Doctors often give additional massage.
Doctors do not always trust direct lipolytics. Substances of indirect action, meso-cocktails, are considered more reliable and safe means. Anyone who has injected various drugs is confident in the results.
Doctors believe that not all problems associated with fat deposits can be controlled by lipolytics.
Experienced doctors are confident in the positive effects of fat-burning substances, but they prefer careful use of funds to obtain the planned result.
Patient reviews
Patients treat lipolytics with distrust. It is not always possible to achieve an ideal result. Patients are afraid of the possibility of side effects and the duration of the course. Doctors do not always recommend performing the procedure. You can achieve results from a lipolytic if the severity of the problem is minor.
The patient noticed effectiveness, but is waiting for the result to improve.
Patients are afraid of the duration of treatment, pain, and unpleasant consequences.
Patients are not always able to take advantage of the possibility of correction with lipolytics due to contraindications and skeptical predictions of doctors.
Reducing the nose with lipolytics
Lipolitics can cope with wrinkles and folds on the nose. The most widely used drug for nose correction is Dermaheal. It contains: hyaluronic acid, carotene, phosphatidylcholine and other beneficial substances. This powerful drug will help correct the so-called “fleshy nose” and help remove acquired and congenital folds. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to achieve a radical change in the nose with the help of these drugs. Reduction of the tip of the nose with lipolytics will only be achieved slightly. In order to understand this, you need to remember the anatomy of the nose. There is little subcutaneous fat in this organ, so only in obese people the effect will be clearly noticeable. Doctors recommend considering other rhinoplasty methods.
