Enzyme injection is an innovative, non-invasive technique designed to target and reduce localized fat deposits. This method helps break down fat cells in specific areas, resulting in a reduction in fat volume without the need for surgery. Today, enzyme injection is recognized as a minimally invasive alternative to procedures like liposuction for small, stubborn fat deposits.
The procedure is performed at specialized dermatology and aesthetic clinics in Farmanieh, where the enzymes are precisely injected into the targeted area for maximum effectiveness.
Enzyme Components and Their Functions
| Enzyme | Main Function | Common Application Areas |
|---|---|---|
| Phosphatidylcholine | Fat breakdown | Abdomen, flanks, chin, arms, thighs |
| Deoxycholate | Strong fat breakdown | Abdomen, flanks, chin |
| Hyaluronidase | Hyaluronic acid gel reduction | Face, lips, chin |
| Collagenase | Connective tissue breakdown and cellulite removal | Abdomen, arms |
| Lipase | Fat breakdown | Abdomen, flanks, thighs, buttocks, arms |
Phosphatidylcholine
A naturally occurring lipid found in cell membranes, phosphatidylcholine helps reduce the size of fat cells in areas like the abdomen, flanks, chin, arms, and thighs. Side effects are minimal and usually temporary.
Deoxycholate
A naturally produced bile salt that acts as an emulsifier, dissolving fat in water. Deoxycholate is stronger than phosphatidylcholine and is typically used on the abdomen, flanks, and chin. It may cause temporary pain or inflammation at the injection site.
Hyaluronidase
This enzyme breaks down hyaluronic acid and improves blood flow in the treated area. Its main application is removing hyaluronic acid fillers when needed.
Collagenase
Collagenase breaks down connective tissue and stimulates skin regeneration. It is especially effective for cellulite reduction and improving skin texture.
Lipase
A natural enzyme that aids in the breakdown of fatty acids and glycerol, lipase helps reduce fat volume in the buttocks, abdomen, flanks, thighs, and arms.
Applications of Enzyme Injection
- Fat Reduction: Phosphatidylcholine, lipase, and deoxycholate target and break down localized fat deposits.
- Cellulite Treatment: Collagenase breaks down connective tissue, encouraging the body to remodel and tighten the skin.
- Hyaluronic Acid Filler Removal: Hyaluronidase effectively dissolves unwanted filler.
