Regional Slimming (Mesolipolysis): What is it, How is it applied and Effective Results
Regional slimming is a treatment method that aims to melt the fat accumulated in certain areas of the body and achieve a more shaped and thin appearance. Mesolipolysis (lipolysis mesotherapy) is one of these treatment methods and provides the breakdown of fat by injecting a special mixture into the areas where fat accumulations are located. Specialist Dr. Hatice Coşkun Güngördü, a dermatologist in Adana, helps her patients make their body contours thinner and get rid of unwanted fat with the mesolipolysis method. In this article, you can find detailed information about what the mesolipolysis method is, how it is applied, and who it is suitable for.
1. What is Mesolipolysis?
Mesolipolysis is a mesotherapy method that breaks down fat cells with special substances injected under the skin and provides regional thinning in the body. This process helps reduce fat tissue and improve body contours by shrinking fat cells. Mesolipolysis is used as an effective method to target unwanted fat accumulations in the body and provide thinning in areas resistant to diet and exercise.
2. In Which Areas Can Mesolipolysis Be Applied?
Mesolipolysis is used especially in areas where there are stubborn fat accumulations that cannot be eliminated with diet and exercise. This method provides effective results in the following areas of the body:
- Abdominal and waist area
- Hip and buttocks
- Inner and outer legs
- Inner arms
- Jowl area
- Back and shoulders
By melting the fat accumulated in these areas, body lines become more distinct and the desired slim appearance is achieved.
3. How Does Mesolipolysis Work?
In mesolipolysis treatment, a mixture of various substances that help break down fat cells is applied under the skin with micro injections. This mixture helps break down fat cells by weakening their membranes and then being naturally eliminated by the body. The injections initiate a local dissolution in the area where the fat cells are located, allowing the fat tissue to thin out.
Injectable Substances
The solution used in mesolipolysis treatment contains various substances that target fat cells. The most commonly used substances are:
- Phosphatidylcholine: It weakens the membrane of fat cells and allows fat to break down.
- Deoxycholic Acid: It is a compound that is effective in breaking down fat cells.
- L-carnitine: It helps burn fat by accelerating fat metabolism.
These substances are injected under the skin and melt the fat cells, allowing them to be expelled through the body's natural lymphatic system.
4. How is Mesolipolysis Applied?
Mesolipolysis treatment is a fast and comfortable procedure performed by a specialist doctor in a clinical environment. The procedure usually takes between 30-60 minutes and is performed with the following steps:
