Injection treatment for localised fat in Naples is a non-surgical medical procedure intended to reduce small fat deposits that persist despite diet and physical activity.
The technique of intralipotherapy is an innovative approach (more invasive than cryolipolysis) for selected areas of localised fat. It uses injectable products and requires medical assessment of product indications, expected benefits and risks. It is not equivalent to liposuction and does not guarantee the same results.
Injection treatment for localised fat in Naples: how it works
Intralipotherapy is a medical procedure that injects lipolytic substances directly into fatty tissue to dissolve localised fat. It is particularly suitable for people who want to contour their body without invasive procedures.
The technique acts directly on adipocytes (fat cells), breaking their cell membranes and allowing the body to remove the fat naturally through the lymphatic system.
Treatment is often preceded by an ultrasound examination to assess fatty tissue and map arteries and veins, making treatment even safer.
At Centro Medico Gargano, injection treatment for localised fat in Naples is performed only after an individual medical assessment

How is the procedure performed?
The procedure involves injections into fatty tissue. Injections may be painful and cause swelling, bruising or other reactions; the doctor must assess the technique, product and dose.
Session length and recovery time depend on the treatment area and individual response. The doctor explains precautions and when normal activities can be resumed.

Medicines used in intralipotherapy
Products and substances discussed in relation to injection lipolysis include the following. They are not equivalent: Aqualyx is a brand name, whereas phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid are substances. Indications and suitability must be checked for the specific product:
• Aqualyx: A lipolytic solution specifically designed to dissolve localised fat. It is particularly suitable for areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, knees and double chin.
• Phosphatidylcholine: A natural compound derived from soya, capable of breaking down fat cells and helping their removal. It is ideal for treating small fat deposits.
• Deoxycholic acid: A substance naturally present in the body that helps dissolve fat, making it easier to eliminate through metabolism.

Which areas can be treated?
Injection treatment for localised fat in Naples is effective in different parts of the body, including:
• Abdomen
• Flanks
• Thighs
• Buttocks
• Arms
• Under the chin (double chin)
The technique is not a treatment for obesity. Any potential benefit for localised fat must be assessed individually and is not guaranteed.

Intralipotherapy versus liposuction: what is the difference?
While liposuction is an invasive surgical procedure requiring anaesthesia, incisions and recovery time, intralipotherapy is:
• Injectable treatment: No scalpel or stitches are required.
• Risks and discomfort to consider: The absence of general anaesthesia does not make treatment painless or risk-free.
• Associated with shorter recovery times: Returning to work and exercise depends on the response to treatment and the doctor’s advice.
Results and benefits of intralipotherapy
Results appear gradually, with a reduction in fat deposits a few weeks after treatment. Usually 2 to 6 sessions are needed, depending on the size of the area and the patient’s individual characteristics.
The main benefits include:
• Targeted reduction of localised fat
• Improved body contour
• Increased self-confidence

Who can have intralipotherapy?
Injection lipolysis may be considered for selected areas of localised fat. Before treatment, the doctor assesses suitability, contraindications, alternatives and risks, without guaranteeing fat elimination.
Choose qualified professionals
Treatment requires a qualified doctor, an appropriate setting and checks on the product and its indications. These precautions reduce some risks but do not exclude adverse reactions or complications.
