Answers open one at a time. <\/p>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Does intralipotherapy help you lose weight?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Intralipotherapy is not a weight-loss therapy nor a treatment for obesity. It can be considered for small subcutaneous fat deposits that persist despite a balanced diet and physical activity. The goal is localised contouring, not a significant reduction in body weight.   <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Which areas can be treated with intralipotherapy?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Localised deposits on the abdomen, hips, thighs, inner knee and, in selected cases, under the chin can be assessed. The possibility of treating an area depends on the specific product, the thickness of the adipose tissue, and skin characteristics. Not all fat deposits and not all patients are suitable for the treatment. Cellulite and skin laxity require a separate assessment.   <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Why does Dr Gargano always perform an ultrasound before intralipotherapy?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Ciro Gargano always performs a preliminary ultrasound to <strong>identify the subcutaneous adipose tissue to be treated<\/strong> and assess its thickness, depth, and distribution. The examination allows for distinguishing fat from the skin and muscle planes and evaluating the presence and course of blood vessels, with Color Doppler support when necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This information helps to <strong>choose the appropriate treatment plan and personalise the procedure<\/strong>, with the aim of limiting the risk of injections being too superficial or deep and the involvement of vessels or tissues not intended for treatment. It is an additional safety precaution, but <strong>it does not eliminate swelling, bruising, or other possible complications<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Are the results of intralipotherapy visible immediately?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, the result is not immediate. It generally takes about <strong>4\u20136 weeks<\/strong> to start noticing a change. In the first few days, swelling may mask the reduction of the fat deposit. Improvement continues gradually and times vary based on the area treated, the product used, and individual response.   <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Why might massaging the area after the injection be indicated?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When provided for by the protocol, the massage performed by the doctor after the injection aims to promote an even distribution of the product. Any lymphatic drainage indicated in the following days serves to help the reabsorption of swelling. Method, intensity, and timing depend on the product and tissue reaction: <strong>do not perform vigorous or DIY massages without medical instruction<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>How many sessions of intralipotherapy do I need?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It depends on the extent and thickness of the fat deposit, the area, and the result you wish to obtain, provided it is realistically achievable. The product used and individual response also matter. The doctor proposes a personalised path and re-evaluates the utility of further sessions after observing the effect of previous ones: there is no set number for everyone.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Does diet help during treatment? Is a ketogenic diet useful? <\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Adequate nutrition contributes to weight control and maintaining the result. In selected cases, a <strong>ketogenic diet<\/strong> can also be considered, but it is not necessary for everyone and must be set up and monitored by a qualified professional. The choice depends on health and nutritional goals: it should not be presented as a proven enhancement of the injections&#8217; effect.   <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Why does the treated area become red and sore?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Redness, swelling, and tenderness can accompany the <strong>local inflammatory reaction<\/strong> caused by the treatment and the subsequent remodelling of the adipose tissue. This does not mean that more pain or more redness corresponds to a better result. Intense or increasing pain, spreading redness, fever, discharge, or skin lesions should not be considered normal inflammation: they require prompt medical assessment.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Why do I feel nodules in the treated area even after some time?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hardening can depend on the inflammatory reaction and tissue remodelling, sometimes with areas of <strong>fibrosis<\/strong>. However, not every nodule is fibrosis: those that are persistent, increasing, or painful must be checked by a doctor, possibly with an ultrasound. The association with cavitation can be evaluated in individual cases, but it does not guarantee the prevention or disappearance of nodules.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Can the result be accelerated with cavitation?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some cases, the doctor may combine <strong>ultrasound cavitation<\/strong> with intralipotherapy as part of a personalised contouring path. The combination is described in some protocols, but evidence does not allow for promising a faster result or a certain reduction in fibrosis. Device, timing, and indication must be chosen after tissue assessment; it is not a mandatory step for everyone.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>How much time must pass between sessions?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interval is established by the doctor based on the product used, the area, the dose, and the resolution of the local reaction. In various deoxycholate-based protocols, one waits about <strong>4\u20136 weeks<\/strong>, sometimes longer. The next session is not brought forward to seek faster results: the instructions for the specific product must be respected and the area re-evaluated before repeating injections.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Are the results of intralipotherapy permanent?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The improvement obtained can last over time, but it should not be presented as guaranteed or unchangeable. Weight gain and tissue changes can alter the profile of the treated area. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the result, which is evaluated with clinical checks and, when useful, comparison photographs.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Is intralipotherapy painful? What side effects can it have? <\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Injections can cause burning, pain, or discomfort. After the session, swelling, bruising, sensitivity in the area, and small hard lumps are possible, generally transient. The treatment is not without risks: infections, profile irregularities, changes in sensitivity, or skin lesions can also occur. During the visit, expected benefits, limitations, and specific risks of the product and the area to be treated are explained.   <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>What should I do after the session? Can I work and play sports? <\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recovery times depend on the area treated, the type of activity, and individual reaction. The doctor provides personalised instructions on physical activity, heat exposure, and any compression garments. Massages and additional treatments should only be performed if indicated. Intense or increasing pain, spreading redness, fever, or skin lesions require prompt medical assessment.   <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Why is a compression garment worn after intralipotherapy?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>compression garment<\/strong>, when indicated by the doctor, helps to <strong>reduce swelling, tenderness, and discomfort<\/strong> in the treated area, especially in the first few days. It must provide comfortable compression without being excessively tight. The type of garment and duration of use are indicated based on the area treated and individual response.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" name=\"faq-intralipoterapia\"><summary><strong>Are there contraindications to intralipotherapy?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aesthetic treatment should be postponed during pregnancy and breastfeeding and must not be performed on areas with active infections or lesions, nor in the presence of a known allergy to the product components. Illnesses, coagulation disorders, and ongoing therapies must be reported to the doctor before the session.
