Reduction of Fat Deposits by Injection Therapy

Injection Lipolysis (Lipodissolve Injections)
Simply melting superfluous fat away by means of an injection – a fascinating idea.During this procedure the substance phosphatidylcholine (PPC) is directly injected into undesired fat deposits. The active substance is a natural compound produced from the soya bean. The body itself uses to produce this substance in same composition in order to have multiple tasks performed, particularly in the field of fat metabolism.

Dr. Hasengschwandtner of Austria ,the research director on the board of Network-Lipolysis ,proceeded with the development of this therapy. He has now carried out some thousands of treatments and must be one of the most experienced therapists in this field in Europe. Thanks to his further development work, more rapid and effective treatment results have been produced compared with a few years ago. For example, originally some 6 – 10 repeated treatments were necessary, which is much more than those required today.

Patient Information and Treatment The medication used for lipodissolve injections is a natural chemical which acts in the body to protect the liver, and has also been used by doctors for many years to prevent fat embolism in the blood. Up to date,however,it has not yet been approved for lipodissolve injections. For this reason, any patient proposing to have this treatment will need to provide a range of medical information prior to the start of the therapy, and the treatment will be monitored with particular care. The experienced physicians affiliated with NETWORK-Lipolysis are particularly well placed through their specialist training to advise you thoroughly about this treatment. Although a relatively new treatment, many thousands of treatment courses all over the world have now been completed, and no serious side-effects have been observed up to now. Nevertheless, it is considered essential that the therapy should only be carried out by medical experts trained in this field. In order to obtain successful results knowledge of the anatomical distribution of fat deposits in the body, the correct injection technique and the right dosage for the treatment are of the utmost importance, and doctors affiliated to NETWORK-Lipolysis all have been trained in these areas.

Risks of the Therapy
Although lipodissolve injections have not yet been officially approved as a therapy, this should be regarded as a general risk, in common with many other treatments that are given without official approval. In aesthetic medicine, for instance, a particular popular treatment for millions of patients has been given without official approval over many years. This is of course, Botulinus toxin injections (Botox) which is used world wide in aesthetic medicine. The substance was used for other medical applications and has not yet been approved by the authorities for the aesthetics.

Although there have been delays in the manufacturers achieving full approval for these treatments for cosmetic indications, they have been widely used without significant problems. In the case of Lipostabil health risks have not been observed by either Dr. Rittes nor by Dr. Hasengschwandtner. The active substance itself and its elimination from the body via metabolism have been fully investigated and documented, and have revealed no serious problems.

It should be noted that almost every patient shows some temporary side-effects after treatment including reddening, swellings and muscular aching and – in some cases – haematoma (bruising). After a few days, however, any discomfort at the treated region will have disappeared.

NETWORK-Lipolysis
NETWORK-Lipolysis is a frontier-crossing association of physicians who specialise in different fields but who all have been certified for lipodissolve injections. Dr. Hasengschwandtner trains all the members of our NETWORK both in theory and practice and this supports the provision of consistent treatment of a high standard by all NETWORK members. In addition the members, ranging from general practitioners to specialists in plastic surgery, all contribute to lipodissolve research by exchanging their specific knowledge and experience.

When you undergo a treatment with a physician certified by our NETWORK clinical details and treatment efficacy will be reported, strictly anonymously to the NETWORK-Lipolysis data bank. This enables all physicians of the NETWORK to take part in a frontier-crossing follow-up study about individual responses and tolerances. Several detailed studies about lipodissolve injections are in preparation by physicians of the NETWORK.

At this time we have found that there is a non-responder rate of about 5%, (i.e. the therapy does not show any effect in about one in twenty patients). The reasons for this are unknown. You can be absolutely sure that your physician will always be informed about the latest state of development of lipodissolve injections.
