What is lipolysis?
Injectable lipolysis is a non-invasive method to get rid of unwanted fat on the face and other parts of the body.
It is ideal for people who suffer from persistent, localised excess fat in areas such as the hips, buttocks, abdomen or chin. Lipolysis allows the elimination of excess fatty tissue that does not disappear despite diet and exercise.
It is a very safe method that involves injecting small doses of phosphatidylcholine into the areas you want to make slimmer.
In which areas is lipolysis usually performed?
What does the process look like?
During the lipolysis procedure, we first mark the area of the body we want to shape.
The next step is to disinfect the skin. The lipolytic solution is injected directly into the fatty tissue to be reduced at a specific dose.
The area is then given a short stimulating massage, which the patient repeats daily at home.
Post-procedure recommendations
Procedure:
- Avoid saunas, swimming, sports and hot baths for three days.
- Do not drink alcohol for a few days.
- Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen) for two days.
- Do not take supplements with vitamins E and omega for two days to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Massage the treated area several times a day for about five days.
- Sun protection with SPF 50 is recommended.

Frequently asked questions
How many visits do I need?
The number of visits required depends on the thickness of the fat in the area to be removed.
For best results, we recommend repeating lipolysis 2-4 times at intervals of approximately 4-6 weeks.
This dictates that we should not give too much lipolytic solution to the patient during each visit.
When are the results of lipolysis visible?
You don't see immediate results with this procedure as you do with fillers. The first result of lipolysis is visible only after one month. Your body needs time to eliminate the broken down fat.
Before and after photos are also taken during the visits, so you can see how nicely the fat has been reduced.
How long do the results last?
One of the biggest advantages of injectable lipolysis is that the results are permanent! Once a fat cell is destroyed, it is permanently removed from your body. This cannot be undone.
However, unwanted fat accumulation can reappear if you gain weight.
For whom is lipolysis not suitable?
Lipolysis is not recommended (contraindications):
- under 18 years of age
- pregnant women, those with allergies to the substances used
- do not have well-regulated diabetes or thyroid disease
- individuals with severe liver or kidney disease
- individuals with autoimmune disease
What are the side effects of lipolysis?
Common side effects of this treatment include bruising and swelling at the injection site; flu-like symptoms or headaches may also occur shortly after the procedure, but are quite rare.
Who is a good candidate?
The best candidate for injectable lipolysis is an individual with a small amount of unwanted fat who prefers a non-surgical approach. You should also consider what lipolysis does and does not eliminate: it reduces fat pockets not loose or excess skin, which is an important difference.
Please first discuss the most appropriate procedure with our doctor. He or she will assess the area to determine the extent of your excess fat, loose skin or both, and discuss the options with you based on your characteristics and desired outcome.

Our patients' opinions
I received intravenous vitamin therapy for burnout at the NYD clinic. The staff were friendly, professional and made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend it!
Fast, efficient, quality. Thank you🌏
I took a 5-pack of acupuncture for neck pain. This package is much better value for money. I was impressed by the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, the facilities are modern and very clean. I will be happy to go for any therapy or procedure.
I recommend them, I only go to them for fillers (forehead and between the eyebrows) in Ljubljana. The premises are nicely decorated and I had my turn at the appointed time without any waiting.
