Lipoenzymes are usually administered by injections directly into the affected areas. The enzymes act by breaking down the membrane of the fat cells, causing the release and subsequent elimination of stored fat. The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis and may require several treatment sessions depending on the individual’s goals and response to treatment.
Lipoenzymes, also known as lipolytic enzymes or fat-dissolving injectable enzymes, are substances used in aesthetic treatments to treat localized adiposity (stubborn fat deposits), flaccidity (loose or sagging skin) and cellulite. These enzymes are usually injected into target areas to break down and dissolve fat cells, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance.
- Reduction of localized adiposity: They can help locate and reduce stubborn fat deposits in specific areas of the body.
- Improved skin firmness: They can help improve skin elasticity and firmness, reducing sagging and promoting a more toned appearance.
- Minimizing the appearance of cellulite: They can contribute to the reduction of cellulite by breaking down the underlying fat deposits responsible for its appearance.
- Lyase: reduces fluid retention and volume.
- Lipase: Acts inside the adipocyte, reducing its volume without generating cell damage.
- Collagenase: Stimulates fibroblasts to generate new collagen fibers.
They can be applied in cheeks, double chin, abdomen, arms, between legs, or any area with localized fat.
