When we gain weight, the number of these cells does not increase, but the volume of existing cells expands. When we lose weight, the volume of these cells shrinks. However, some parts of our body are more prone to fat storage for genetic or hormonal reasons, and fat cells in these areas are more resistant to diet and exercise. In other words, no matter how much weight you lose, the fat deposits in that particular area may continue to remain proportionally. The goal of regional weight loss methods is to reduce the number or volume of these resistant fat cells.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mezoterapi_ile_Lipoliz_Yag_Hucrelerini_Hedef_Alan_Enjeksiyonlar\"><\/span>Lipolysis with Mesotherapy: Injections Targeting Fat Cells<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lipolysis (fat melting) <a href=\"https:\/\/drmelisulger.com\/en\/treatments\/mesotherapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"about mentions\"><strong>Mesotherapy<\/strong><\/a>, general <a href=\"https:\/\/drmelisulger.com\/en\/treatments\/mesotherapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"about mentions\"><strong>Mesotherapy<\/strong><\/a> is a special injection technique based on the principle, but formulated to completely target fat cells.

Phosphatidylcholine is a natural substance derived from soy lecithin. Deoxycholate is a bile acid naturally found in our body. When these two substances work together, they dissolve and break down the membrane of the fat cell. The contents of the broken down fat cell (triglycerides) are absorbed by the body's natural lymphatic system and transported to the liver, where they are metabolized and eliminated from the body. This mechanism provides a permanent reduction in the number of fat cells in that area.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"L-Karnitin_Yag_Asitlerinin_Enerjiye_Donusumunu_Hizlandiran_Tasiyici\"><\/span>L-Carnitine: Transporter Accelerating the Conversion of Fatty Acids into Energy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>L-Carnitine is an amino acid derivative that plays an important role in our body's energy production. Its main task is to transport the broken down fatty acids to the mitochondria, the power plants of cells. Here the fatty acids are burned and converted into energy (ATP). Adding L-Carnitine to lipolysis cocktails helps to remove the broken down fat from the body faster and more effectively.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Organik_Silisyum_ve_Diger_Destekleyiciler_Dolasim_ve_Sikilasma\"><\/span>Organic Silicon and Other Promoters: Circulation and Firming<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When fatty tissue is reduced, it is important that the skin above it maintains its firmness. Organic Silicon helps tighten the skin by strengthening connective tissue and supporting collagen production. Circulation-boosting ingredients such as caffeine or artichoke extract are also added to support faster removal of broken down fat from the area through lymphatic drainage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mezoterapi_ile_Lipoliz_Hangi_Bolgelerde_Etkilidir\"><\/span>In Which Areas Is Lipolysis with Mesotherapy Effective?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This treatment can be used in almost any area of the body where there are small or medium-sized localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abdominal and waist circumference (\u201cbagels\u201d)<\/li>\n<li>Hips and flanks of the buttocks (\u201csaddlebags\u201d)<\/li>\n<li>Inner thighs and inner kneecaps<\/li>\n<li>Upper-back parts of the arms<\/li>\n<li>Back area (under-bra folds)<\/li>\n<li>Jowl (under the chin) area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tedavi_Protokolu_Sabir_ve_Seanslarla_Gelen_Incelme\"><\/span>Treatment Protocol: Patience and Thinning with Sessions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lipolysis mesotherapy is not a one-session miracle.
