Fat-Dissolving Injection – Body Contouring and Fat Reduction Without Surgery
Auf dieser Seite
The fat-dissolving injection in Düsseldorf, also known as injection lipolysis, lipolysis injection, or slimming injection, is a non-surgical method for reducing smaller fat deposits. Treatment with the fat-dissolving injection is targeted specifically at very stubborn pockets of fat on the body or face that persist despite exercise and a healthy diet. The fat-dissolving injection is not a weight-loss treatment but rather a tool for body contouring and body shaping. The fat-dissolving injection offers a minimally invasive alternative to liposuction. Localised smaller fat deposits in areas such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and knees, as well as Malar Bags, can be dissolved using fat-dissolving substances and metabolised by the body. The dissolution of fat is also referred to as lipolysis.

How much do fat-dissolving injections cost in Düsseldorf?

Fat reduction without surgery using the fat-dissolving injection can be performed on various areas of the body, for example to remove a double chin or to reduce abdominal fat. We will be happy to provide you with the exact costs for your lipolysis treatment following a personal consultation.

How does the fat-dissolving injection work?
We use the latest fat-dissolving injection – the Michelangelo fat-dissolving injection (Michelangelo PDC PLUS Complex by the manufacturer Renaissance bta from Italy). The effect of this fat-dissolving injection is based on the injection of the active ingredient phosphatidylcholine directly into the fatty tissue. This substance triggers a reaction in which the fat cells are dissolved and broken down.
We use the Michelangelo fat-dissolving injection because the typical side effects associated with the breakdown of fat deposits – such as burning sensations, swelling, and redness at the treated sites – are significantly reduced. When treated with the Michelangelo PDC PLUS, these side effects occur in a considerably milder form.
It is important to note that the effect of the fat-dissolving injection and the results achieved can vary from person to person. The outcome depends on various factors, such as the individual response of the body, the amount of active ingredient injected, and the number of treatments carried out.
What does the injection lipolysis treatment involve?
On the day of your lipolysis treatment, we are happy to answer any remaining questions. The injection points are then marked and disinfected. The fat-dissolving injection is drawn up and the preparation is injected directly into the fatty tissue at a depth of 1–1.5 cm. Various manufacturers produce fat-dissolving injections; we use the Michelangelo PDC PLUS Complex by Renaissance bta from Italy. The Michelangelo fat-dissolving injection is particularly effective while producing very few side effects.
What should I bear in mind after treatment with the fat-dissolving injection?
Immediately after treatment with the fat-dissolving injection, the injection sites will appear red and the treated area will be moderately to noticeably swollen. Swelling typically subsides within two to six days, while pain, redness, and bruising usually resolve within three to four days.
After the fat-dissolving injection, you should drink plenty of fluids to support the body's fat-breakdown process. Biochemical processes cause the dissolved fat to be broken down and eliminated. To support the healing and treatment process, you should avoid saunas, sunbeds, sport, and strenuous physical activity for one week after your treatment.

Injection lipolysis versus liposuction
Injection lipolysis and [liposuction](/behandlungen/koerper/fettabsaugung/ "Liposuction") are two different methods for reducing fat deposits in the body. Here are some key differences between the two approaches:
Nature of treatment: Injection lipolysis is a non-surgical method in which an active substance is injected into the fatty tissue to dissolve the fat cells. Liposuction, by contrast, is a surgical procedure in which fatty tissue is removed by suction.
Results: The results of lipolysis are generally not visible immediately and may take several weeks to months to become apparent. With liposuction, results are typically visible straight away, although there is a recovery period during which swelling and bruising must resolve.
Treatment areas: Lipolysis is better suited to smaller fat deposits that cannot be reduced through diet and exercise. It can be applied to various areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or chin. Liposuction, on the other hand, can remove larger fat deposits and is suitable for larger body areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs.
Risks and side effects: Lipolysis is generally less invasive than liposuction and therefore carries fewer risks and side effects. With liposuction, complications such as bleeding, infection, asymmetry, or uneven contours may occur.

Frequently asked questions
Does the fat-dissolving injection really work?
The effect of the fat-dissolving injection varies between individuals. Results are generally not visible immediately; it may take several weeks to months before the outcomes of the lipolysis treatment become apparent. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet and regular physical activity in order to achieve long-lasting results.
Who is the fat-dissolving injection suitable for?
The fat-dissolving injection is suitable for both men and women. The fat-dissolving injection for men is frequently used to dissolve fat deposits on the abdomen, flanks (love handles), chin, or male chest. In women, the fat-dissolving injection is commonly used to address fat deposits on the lower abdomen, flanks, or saddlebags. Bingo wings and underarm fat can also be effectively treated with the fat-dissolving injection. For Malar Bags, the puffiness beneath the eyes can be optimally treated with the fat-dissolving injection.
What are the side effects of the fat-dissolving injection?
As with any medical treatment, side effects may occur with the fat-dissolving injection, such as swelling, redness, bruising, or discomfort at the injection site. These side effects generally resolve on their own within a few days.
When is the lipolysis injection used?
The lipolysis injection is used to reduce small pockets of fat. It is important to note that the fat-dissolving injection is not a method for overall weight loss. Lipolysis treatment is intended rather for the targeted reduction of smaller fat deposits that cannot be addressed through diet and exercise.
How many fat-dissolving injection treatments are needed?
Depending on the individual patient and the location and extent of the fat deposits, between 1 and 5 treatments may be required. Treatments should be spaced 4–8 weeks apart, as the fat breakdown process is not complete until after this time. In most cases, results from the fat-dissolving injection become visible after approximately 6 weeks. Since patients respond very differently to injection lipolysis, results can vary considerably, making precise predictions difficult.
When will the results of the fat-dissolving injection be visible?
It is important to note that the results of the fat-dissolving injection are not visible immediately. It may take several weeks to months for the fatty tissue to be broken down and the desired change to become visible. Patience and consistency are therefore important.
How long do the results of the fat-dissolving injection last?
With the fat-dissolving injection, the fat cells in the treated areas are permanently dissolved and eliminated by the body. The fat-dissolving injection (injection lipolysis) therefore delivers lasting results.
