enzyme injections fat removal injection

Enzyme injections (formerly fat removal injections) – synonyms & principle

synonyms: Fat removal injection, lipase, collagenase, hyaluronidase

Companies & Products Examples: PB Serum

principle: Introduction of enzymes into (fat) tissue to firm, reduce fat or drain the tissue - also suitable for improving cellulite

is sometimes combined with…

• fat freezing
  
• to fine-tuning after liposuction

efficiency

depending on the enzyme and amount as well as repetition of treatments

Usually not comparable with the possibilities of liposuction

In our experience, it is not as effective in the treatment of cellulite as the combination of mechanical loosening of the connective tissue strands followed by fat transfer

treatment duration

depending on the treatment approx. 30-45 minutes

repetition of the treatment

the treatment can be repeated and is usually designed for repetition

Application in which body region

Neck - basically any region where it is about tightening tissue, draining tissue or even fat reduction

alternatives

Depending on the therapeutic goal, many methods can be useful as alternatives:

• liposuction
• HIFU
• Needling/Radiofrequency
• …

Therefore, a precise problem analysis with the creation of a suitable individually adapted concept is important

decision-making aids

Essentially, these are fundamental decisionsthat constitute a treatment with enzymes.

Should I have an enzyme treatment do it at all? – Sometimes it is the better decision not to do something.

In my opinion, it is important not to expect too much from the enzymes.

There are equally good and definitely more effective methods in every direction (fat reduction, tightening, drainage).

However, since enzyme treatment requires a certain amount of time and money, all options and alternatives should be discussed beforehand.

Tightening:

Of course, surgery with redistribution and repositioning + removal of excess skin = face lift will always be more effective.

And of course the effort is not comparable.

fat reduction

Here too, the surgical alternative of liposuction is simply the classic and its effect is simply not comparable.

alternative

Enzyme treatment is a good alternative for patients who do not want surgery (liposuction, facelift, etc.) and are satisfied with less effect. The combination of the three components of firming, fat-reducing and draining results in a very broad - albeit subtle - spectrum of effects.

repetitions

To enhance the (delicate) effect, you should plan several repetitions from the outset

What should you have heard/read before an enzyme treatment?

The spectrum of effectiveness is broad but the effect is subtle. Repetitions should be planned. There are definitely stronger methods.

Prejudices

Enzymes have the same effect as liposuction or a facelift

facts

That is not the case – not by a long shot.

possible side effects/complications

• irritation, redness
• irregular surface, dents
• infection
• scar
• numb feeling
• necrosis

details Information on possible complications can be found in the information documents

In summary, good preparation (information, explanation, preliminary examinations, analysis, etc.), experience of the surgeon and practitioner as well as the active ingredients used are important factors for a successful enzyme treatment

You should avoid…

too high expectations

anesthesia

• ice cooling
• local anesthetic cream
• The enzymes are partly dissolved in local anesthetic – this makes the treatment relatively painless

the treatment

no blood-thinning medication for 10 days before the planned treatment

good information about possibilities and limitations as well as alternatives makes sense

the treatment

careful massage for uniform distribution and lymphatic drainage

otherwise no additional stimuli (heat, dirt, sweating, sun) for a few days

our preferred technique/recommendation

• triple combination of hyaluronidase-collagenase-lipase
• Local anesthesia + ice make the treatment less painful
• plan repetitions

Cost

guidelines

from 250 Enzyme treatment (depending on the size of the area and the amount of enzyme)

The final total price will be determined during the second consultation (=consent) depending on the combinations, desired clinic and room category

reasonable budget

A final cost estimate is only possible and meaningful after a detailed on-site inspection and clarification of individual wishes.

downtime

not really

do not irritate the treated area for a few days

Important to know…

• the treatment is not comparable with more effective (but of course more complex) methods such as liposuction and/or facelift etc.
