Achieve your dream figure in just 30 minutes without any pain with the ‘fat-away injection’? That sounds almost too good to be true, doesn’t it? Unfortunately, it often is. In this article, you can find out why the ‘fat removal injection’ is not always a miracle weapon against fat deposits. Do you also wish that your unpleasant fat deposits would simply vanish into thin air or disappear overnight – without you having to do anything at all? You are certainly not alone with this dream. In theory, treatment with a ‘fat removal injection’ comes very close to this idea – in fact, this treatment is quick and requires no further active intervention apart from the injection – but it is only useful for small fat deposits and can effectively achieve visible results here. In this article you will find out for which areas treatment with the ‘fat removal injection’ is worthwhile – and which alternative methods we would recommend.
Achieving your dream figure with the ‘fat-away injection’?
The so-called ‘fat removal injection’ is often seen as a miracle weapon against unwanted fat deposits – a bikini figure in just 30 minutes without any pain. That sounds fantastic! The ‘fat removal injection’ is definitely justified and can achieve visible results, but its effect is limited to small areas of the body, such as fat deposits on the double chin or the so-called chocolate bags on the bra straps, which persist despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. If this is the case for you, it is worth taking a look at our information page on treatment with the ‘fat removal injection’. The injection causes a deliberate inflammation that breaks down the fatty tissue. This inflammatory reaction manifests itself in pain, swelling and redness, which can last up to 7 days. The result can only be assessed afterwards. Unfortunately, there are often cases in which nothing happens, as the ‘fat removal injection’ contains substances from the human fat metabolism, works by means of the body’s own processes and is therefore heavily dependent on the body’s own metabolism. In most cases – depending on the individual wishes and goals – we therefore advise against this method and recommend our patients more effective methods to achieve their desired result. Many of our patients want to lose unwanted fat deposits on their stomach, legs and hips. Perhaps you feel the same way? However, these frequently mentioned ‘problem areas’ are large areas of fat deposits where the ‘fat away injection’ simply reaches its limits and other treatment methods can be used far more effectively.
Simply ‘freeze away’ fat deposits with CoolSculpting® method The treatment method of cryolipolysis
is suitable for small to medium-sized fat deposits and is characterized by a non-invasive technique with which you can literally ‘freeze away’ fat deposits without any active intervention through surgery, anaesthesia or sedation. Thanks to various customized CoolSculpting ® treatment modules, cold stimuli can be applied to the desired areas of the body, causing fat cells to die and then be broken down by the body’s own processes and disappear. Many patients appreciate this method because they are fit for social life again immediately after the treatment, have hardly any pain and still achieve visible results within a few months – after 12 weeks at the earliest. With the help of cryolipolysis, you can gently declare war on your fat deposits! Unfortunately, it is not possible to predict how the result will turn out, as it depends heavily on the patient’s metabolism. It often takes several sessions to achieve a satisfactory result. CoolSculpting® is a type of body contouring (body shaping). This means that the ideal patient for this treatment already exercises regularly, eats healthily and has a generally athletic physique. In this case, individual fat deposits can be treated with a suitable applicator. We will be happy to advise you on whether this treatment method makes sense for you, as in some cases the cost-benefit ratio is not optimal due to the number of sessions required and liposuction is more advisable.
Clearly visible results with liposuction using the WAL method
For patients who want to play it safe and want a significantly changed body image, liposuction is usually the right method. Even though this method – unlike ‘fat-away injections’ and cryolipolysis – is an invasive and modulating method that requires general anesthesia, liposuction procedures have evolved in recent years. At UNIQAESTHETICS®, we offer the modern and gentle method of water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL) for outstanding results. This method relies on water power. The fatty tissue is loosened by a water jet and a fat-water emulsion is formed, which can be suctioned out simultaneously. Compared to traditional liposuction, there is significantly less tissue damage and the procedure is much more precise and gentle, which leads to more even results. With this method, our specialists know exactly where to intervene and how much fat has been removed from which areas. The first results can be expected after just under two months, after patients have worn compression garments for around 5 weeks and abstained from sport for around 3 weeks. The great advantage of this method is that any area of the body can be treated effectively. In addition, only with this form of treatment is it possible to carry out so-called ‘lipofilling’ – i.e. transferring the patient’s own fat to other areas (e.g. breast or face). If this method appeals to you, you can find more interesting information on our liposuction treatment page.
As you can see, there is not THE ONE method to get rid of fat deposits once and for all, but rather it is about finding the method that makes sense for you individually and leads you to your desired result. Contrary to popular opinion, the ‘fat removal injection’ is not a miracle weapon against all annoying fat deposits, but is only the method of choice for certain, very small areas of fat. In many cases, cryolipolysis and liposuction are more effective methods. An individual consultation with our specialists is a top priority here, so that you can find the method that suits your ideas and goals and you can permanently say ‘Bye Bye!
