SHAPING AND
CELLULITE
CLINIC
Questions
and Answers
What is the
injection?
It is made
from
a Lecithin
base.
Lecithin is
an natural
enzyme
produced in
our bodies
responsible
for breaking
down fat.
What is it
used for?
It is
capable of
dissolving
fat
and smoothing
cellulite
areas. It
breaks the
bonds in fat
cells. The
fat is
broken down
into a soft
form and
eliminated
from the
body in
urine and faeces.
Is it safe?
Plastic
surgeons and
health
professionals
consider it
very safe.
Serious
side-
effects from
proper
application
in clinical
use are
unknown at
this point.
What are the
known side
effects?
The known
side-effects
have been
very
minimal.
Depending on
the
individual,
temporary
bruising ,
itching and
soreness may
occur.
Where is
this
procedure
used?
Fat and
cellulite
reduction by
injection
has been
used in
Europe for
over 20
years. It
has become
very popular
in America
over the
last two
years.
Is this
treatment
right for me?
It is
excellent
for minor to
medium
sculpting of
specific
areas of the
body like
the upper
stomach
area,
thighs,
hips, love
handles and
so forth.
Weight loss
has occurred
depending on
individual
cases. It
has been
viewed as a
positive
option for
liposuction.
We have had
excellent
results
under the
chin and the
knees.
Do the
injections
cause
uneven fat
loss?
No, this has
not been
known with
proper
procedures.
Injections
are to be
done in
small doses
per
treatment.
The time
between
treatments
combined
with the
doses per
session
provide
opportunity
for
observation
and
monitoring
and shaping.
How does it
work on
cellulite?
It has shown
to be
very
promising to
smooth,
reduce and
remove
cellulite.
What should
I expect
following a
treatment?
There may be
minor aching
and
tenderness
in the
treated
areas with
some
bruising.
Ice can be
applied to
reduce any
swelling or
Arnica
preparations
used.
What results
can I
expect?
Results are
usually
observed
only after 3
treatments.
The results
will vary
from person
to person
depending on
their weight
and
lifestyle
and genetic
make up. We
can not
guarantee a
perfect
body. We can
promise
improvement
of your
problem area
/areas. We
will discuss
this with
you and give
you an
assessment
before you
start. Have
realistic
expectations.
We
appreciate
that body
image is a
very
sensitive
subject for
a
woman. We
are attuned
to this and
will treat
the patient
in the most
discreet and
professional
manner
possible
allowing for
the
intimate
matter of
the
treatment.
Will the fat
in the
treated
areas return?
No, the fat
does not
return as it
is dissolved
and
eliminated
from the
body, but
new weight
gain can
build up new
fat.
It will not
come back in
a lumpy
manner. Some
practitioners
recommend
regular
booster
shots.
Do I need to
diet or
exercise?
No, though
we recommend
regular,
healthy
eating
habits and
moderate
exercise.
If you
overeat the
fat will
come back.
Some areas
like the
hips give
better
results in
conjunction
with a
little
exercise.
How
does it work
on
cellulite?
It has been
shown to be
very
successful
to smooth,
reduce and
remove
cellulite.
