These injections contain the active ingredient of synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a chemical that occurs naturally in the body and aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
Deoxycholic acid, when injected under the skin in problematic areas, attaches at the adipose tissue, disintegrating the cell membrane (cell lysis), and releasing the stored fat. The lymphatic system of the body then takes care of it, and it is eventually eliminated.
The deoxycholic acid in Celluform released slowly to destroy fat cells when injected beneath the skinand results in a visible reduction in fullness around the treatment areas. Since those cells can no longer store or build fat after they have been destroyed, further treatment is not expected if you have achieved your desired aesthetic goal.
The results take time to appear; on average, 6-8 weeks, however this is dependent on the quality of cell membranes. Consequently, younger patients, who have stronger and more stable cellular membranes, generally have to wait longer for the effects to present themselves than older patients.
Physiological characteristics are also significant in determining response rate.
For optimal results, 6 sessions are usually necessary; treatments can be repeated every 2-3 weeks, and the ultimate effects will be seen 6-8 weeks after the final treatment.
It should be noted, however, that the benefits of Celluform are only truly helpful if the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle following treatment and prevents weight gain.
*It is an effective treatment for fat pockets and for body contouring but is not a treatment for weight loss
We recommend to avoid any blood thinners (e.g. alcohol, aspirin, Vitamin E, some herbal preparations and supplements) for 2 days prior to and 2 days after treatment.
​
Taking arnica tablets (30c potency) as follows: 2 tablets every 2 hours for 5 days prior to the treatment will help to reduce bruise and swelling
Immediately after treatment, there may be slight redness, swelling, tenderness and an itching sensation in the treated area. These are normal following lipolysis injections.
The inconvenience is temporary and generally resolves in a few days without medical intervention.
​
Avoid touching the treated area for 6 hours after the treatment. After that, the area can be gently washed with soap and water. Light makeup can be applied in the case of the chin/jaw area after 24 hours.
Avoid strenuous exercises for at least 24 hours.
Maintain a healthy and balanced diet.
Until the initial swelling has resolved, do not expose the treated area to intense heat (e.g. solarium and sunbathing) or extreme cold (e.g. ice packs).
If you are taking aspirin or any similar medication, be aware that these may increase bruising at the injection site.
Wear compression garment for at least 3 weeks after the procedure.
Massage the treated area twice a day for 2-5 minutes each time.
