Injectable fat dissolution treatment using phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy localised fat cells in targeted areas, reducing stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise.
Injection lipolysis — sometimes referred to by brand names like Aqualyx or generically as mesotherapy for fat dissolution — uses a solution of phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and deoxycholic acid (DCA) to chemically disrupt and permanently destroy adipocytes (fat cells) in targeted subcutaneous deposits. The active agents are injected directly into the fat layer, where they emulsify the cell membrane of adipocytes, causing them to rupture and release their lipid contents. The released fatty acids and cellular debris are then processed by the body's lymphatic and hepatic systems and eliminated naturally over the following weeks. The treatment at Centrum Medyczne Tartaczna 2 is priced per ampule, with the number of ampules required determined by the size and density of the fat deposit being treated. Common target areas include the submental region (double chin), jowls, upper arms, flanks (love handles), inner thighs, and small abdominal pockets. One ampule is typically sufficient for small deposits like the submental area, while larger zones may require 2 to 4 ampules per session. The injection technique involves delivering the lipolytic solution in a grid pattern throughout the target fat deposit using a fine needle. The physician maps the treatment area, marks injection points at 1 to 1.5 cm intervals, and injects a measured volume at each point at the correct depth — too superficial and the skin may be damaged, too deep and the solution won't reach the fat layer. Precision in depth and volume is critical for both safety and efficacy. Post-treatment, patients experience swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treated area — these are expected inflammatory responses that indicate the lipolytic process is active. Swelling peaks at 48 to 72 hours and gradually subsides over 1 to 2 weeks. The fat cell destruction and elimination process continues for 6 to 8 weeks, at which point the treated area should show measurable volume reduction. Because the destroyed adipocytes do not regenerate, the fat loss is permanent — provided the patient maintains stable body weight. A course of 2 to 4 sessions at 6 to 8 week intervals is typically needed for optimal contouring.
