- Assessment of fat deposit characteristics and suitability for lipolysis by MUDr. Handlová
- Phosphatidylcholine + L-carnitine + anaesthetic lipolytic solution injection at 10–13 mm depth
- Post-injection cooling and immediate care for the inflammatory response
- Aftercare guidance for the 1-week swelling and bruising period
Injectable fat reduction targeting localised subcutaneous deposits using a phosphatidylcholine-based lipolytic solution combined with L-carnitine, a local anaesthetic and homeopathic compounds. The solution is injected at 10–13 mm depth into the subcutaneous fat layer, where phosphatidylcholine disrupts the fat cell membrane, releasing the fat for elimination by the body's lymphatic and metabolic clearance. At Estetické centrum Praha MUDr. Renata Handlová uses this technique for double chin, abdomen, flanks and other localised deposits that resist diet and exercise.
About this treatment
Injection lipolysis uses the membrane-disrupting properties of phosphatidylcholine (PPC) — a phospholipid naturally present in cell membranes and bile — to selectively destroy adipocytes (fat cells) in the subcutaneous layer when injected in therapeutic concentration. PPC at the doses used for lipolysis emulsifies the fat cell membrane, causing the adipocyte to lyse and release its triglyceride content. The freed fatty acids are then processed by…
At Estetické centrum Praha MUDr. Renata Handlová prepares a lipolytic cocktail containing phosphatidylcholine combined with L-carnitine (which facilitates fatty acid transport into mitochondria for beta-oxidation, enhancing elimination), a local anaesthetic to improve comfort during and after injection, and homeopathic supporting compounds. The solution is injected at 10–13 mm depth — reaching the subcutaneous fat layer — at multiple points across the…
The inflammatory response following injection lipolysis is pronounced and predictable: the area becomes swollen, warm, tender and may show bruising within hours of treatment, peaking over the first two to three days and substantially resolving within one week. This inflammatory phase is integral to the clearance mechanism — macrophages migrate to the treated area specifically to process the lysed fat cells. Patients should plan for one week of social…

Who is this for?
Adults with localised subcutaneous fat deposits (double chin, abdomen, flanks, inner thighs) that persist despite diet and exercise, who prefer a non-surgical injectable approach
Preparation required
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, warfarin and alcohol for 48 hours before treatment. Plan for 1 week of social downtime due to swelling and bruising. Inform the doctor of any soy or egg allergy and of all current medications.
