Age-related changes affect not only the skin, but also subcutaneous adipose tissue, muscles and ligaments. As a result of aging processes, fat cells are localized in certain areas, and due to the weakening of muscles there is sagging of tissues. The solution to the problem are injections of special drugs - lipolytics, which are injected under the skin, improve microcirculation in the tissues, change the structure of fat deposits, improve the lymph outflow, so that the fat layer decreases in volume. At the same time, muscles and skin are not affected, so you can be sure that the procedure is completely safe, and ultra-fine needles for injections will allow you to experience no discomfort in the process.
The problem area is visually corrected, the face shape is restored, the contours become sharply defined, swellings and bags disappear. The procedure does not affect the total body weight; however, you look visually slimmer by about 10 kg. Is it a miracle? No, these are achievements of modern aesthetic medicine.
Lipolytics can be direct-acting and indirect-acting.
- The direct ones destroy fat tissues by directly affecting them. The use of such drugs on the face is forbidden because of their high traumatic nature, which is not suitable for delicate facial tissues.
- The indirect-acting lipolytics indirectly affect the fat tissues, the reduction of fat volume is due to the activation of metabolic processes around them and the outflow of lymph.
