Lipolysis Slimming Therapy

Fat build-up is the body’s method of storing unused energy. Two thirds of the fat cells in our bodies are made up of triglycerides which are fat. Through the use of an innovative and non-invasive slimming therapy, the body is helped to reduce the fat volume in these cells. In addition the slimming therapy not only reduces the fat volume, but also destroys these cells.

A substance called Phosphatidylcholine (PPC), which is a soy lecithin, is injected into the targeted areas of the body to eliminate fat build-up in these areas. Sometimes even with excessive exercise people still cannot get rid of the fat pockets in specific areas. The Lipolysis slimming therapy is not meant to take the place of a healthy diet or exercise program, but will certainly help the body to get rid of unwanted cellulite and fat pockets in specific areas including:

  • Abdomen
  • Upper legs
  • Upper arms
  • Waist
  • Buttocks.

The PPC which is injected into the specific area helps to destroy the walls of the fat cells without affecting other cells of the body. This in turn allows for the releasing of the fat which will be disposed of by the body in a natural way.

PPC ALSO HOLDS THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:

  • Improved blood circulation
  • Helps the body to burn rather than store fat
  • Lowers cholesterol levels
  • Increases the metabolism rate of the body.

From the above it is evident that Lipolysis is a beneficial slimming therapy that can be used in conjunction with your dieting plan. As the results are permanent and only one to two treatments may be required, it is fast becoming one of the most popular and safest methods for reducing unwanted fat.
