LIPO INJECTIONS

What makes up a MIC Injection?

Methionine: it supports the digestive system by helping to remove heavy metals within the body while breaking down fat deposits thus preventing the possible build-up of fat in arteries. Methionine can also be converted to cytosine, the precursor of glutathione, which is essential in detoxification of the liver.

Inositol: supports the transfer of nutrients at the cellular level and to help maintain proper electrical energy across the cell membrane. In addition, Inositol converts fats into other useful forms of energy and assists in establishing healthy cell membranes thus facilitating nerve impulses.

Choline: assists in controlling cholesterol levels in the blood and in controlling weight gain by maintaining healthy cell membranes. Choline has been linked to and directly associated in the maintenance of the nervous system, assisting memory, and is critical for normal cell membrane structure and function. Choline is the precursor of betaine which is helps in liver function and in the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Other common ingredients within MIC injections are B vitamins and L-Carnitine which allows for additional benefits in weight loss and general health.

Vitamin B1: serves as a catalyst in the metabolism of carbohydrates.

Vitamin B2: assists in metabolizing fats and carbohydrates.

Vitamin B3: assists in the breakdown of nutrients into a release of energy. Vitamin B3 also can help reduce cholesterol levels for patients.

What is Injection lypolysis?

​

Injection lipolysis chemically reduces the number of fat cells around the injection site. The chemical, called deoxycholic acid, results in fat cell disruption and death. Currently, it is FDA-approved for treatment of the area underneath the chin to eliminate what is known as a "double chin."  This treatment can be used to treat other adipose accumulation areas.

​

Who is not a candidate for injection lipolysis??

Patients with loose skin or poor tone may not be suitable candidates for the procedure.

​

Does injection lipolysis require anesthesia?

This procedure can be done under local anesthesia, which is injected into the treatment area beneath the chin.
