Lipolysis Fat Loss Injection Treatment
Lipolysis is an innovative, gentle and nonsurgical method which removes the accumulation of stubborn fat deposits in targeted regions of the body. While ordinary lipolysis is already a trusted and effective method of permanent fat reduction, the Lipozone difference is that it is combined with a cocktail of added ingredients to rapidly metabolise and breakdown of targeted fat. Lipozone is an extremely effective method of combating cellulite and enhancing the effects of dieting and exercise.
Lipozone removes fat safely around the waist, inner thigh, abdomen, under the upper arms, knees, ankles and double chin.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND LIPOLYSIS
Lipolysis for fat removal and cellulite treatment uses a mixture of fat-dissolving phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate saline solution, injected to the localised regions of the body. The treatment involves virtually painless micro-injections into the targeted fat layer beneath the skin. The active ingredient is Phosphatidylcholine (PPC) a component of Soy Lecithin, which has the ability to break down fat permanently. Lecithin prevents the body from storing fat in the targeted regions and improves the fat burning capacity of the body. The second component is Deoxycholate (DC) saline solution that keeps PPC in a soluble, injectable state.
During application, active substances lead to cracking of the membranes of fat cells in the treated zone and to outpouring of their content into the surrounding tissue. From there, in a natural way, via the bloodstream, the fat is transported to the liver and metabolised. Transportation takes place via the lymphatic system, therefor the need to drink a lot of water. The Lipozone difference comes into play due to the fact that we add a cocktail of herbs and seaweed to speed up fat metabolism, general metabolism and movement of the emulsified fat into the lymph system. It is necessary to emphasise that this procedure is not an alternative to a healthy diet or exercise, but helps to target areas not easily affected by regular exercise and dieting.
Phosphatidylcholine has been successfully used around the world for almost 16 years as part of intravenous treatment of cholesterol related illnesses, and more recently, also for the reduction of fat deposits in targeted regions of the body. It was first used in Italy and became popular in Brazil, the USA, and recently also in South Africa.
Needling/Collagen Induction Therapy
The skin is thoroughly treated on each area, with emphasis on areas of concern. We use a medical precision tool with a unique, dual spring-loaded disposable needle cartridge that uses an automated, vibrating stamp-like motion to cause micro-injury to the skin.
The gentle stimulation of fibroblast cell growth promotes the natural induction of collagen and elastin without the stress of pain and lengthy downtime associated with ablative treatments. Micro-channels, resulting from the needles piercing through the skin layers, will aid in infusing therapeutic serums for greater penetration and enhancement of overall efficacy. The result? A major boost in collagen and elastin using the skin’s natural process of renewal to create a smoother, glowing skin.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Get fuller lips without the need for traditional needles. The hyaluronic acid treatment pen is one of the newest techniques for plumping lips and adding volume to the face without the risk associated with needle injections. It is fast, pain-free, and non-invasive.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a type of temporary dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally throughout the body, with the highest concentrations in the joints, eyes, and skin. In the skin hyaluronic acid attracts water, which allows the skin to become more hydrated. As we age, the fat, muscles, bone, and skin in our face begins to thin. This loss of volume leads to either a sunken or sagging appearance of the face, fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and thin lips. Injectable HA is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, facial folds, and to create structure, framework, and volume to the face and lips. The effects of hyaluronic acid are seen immediately.
Plasma fibroblast Therapy
Lift, removes or reduce fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, uneven coloration and sagging skin on your neck, tummy, hooded eyelids and face. Eliminates skin imperfections like skin tags and sun damage. The results are only comparable to plastic surgery, and in most areas, are permanent.
Plasma fibroblast therapy targets fibroblasts. These are collagen– and protein-producing cells in the dermis, the layer of skin just below your outermost skin layer.
Fibroblasts play an important role in helping skin wounds heal as well as maintaining skin firmness and tightness.
Plasma fibroblast therapy uses a pen-like device that discharges a high-frequency electric current to small areas of the skin.
The plasma tip doesn’t directly touch the skin, but instead releases a targeted current just above the skin. The hot current creates small holes, or micro-injuries, in the skin’s layer.
The thermal disruption, or heat damage, from plasma fibroblast therapy:
Breaks down proteins in the skin
Encourages tissue regeneration
Stimulates fibroblast activity
Causes tissue contraction (tightening)
We may also use plasma fibroblast therapy as an alternative to lip fillers to make the lips look fuller.
