Excessive Body Fats
Causes of Excessive Body Fats:
Excessive body fat, also known as adiposity, can result from various factors, including lifestyle choices, genetic predisposition, hormonal imbalances, and underlying health conditions. Here's a breakdown of potential causes:
​
1. Poor Diet:
-
High intake of calorie-dense, nutrient-poor foods (e.g., sugary, processed, or high-fat items)​
-
Overeating and irregular meal patterns
​
2. Lack of Physical Activity:
-
Sedentary lifestyles reduce the number of calories burned daily.
-
Insufficient exercise leads to reduced muscle mass and slower metabolism
​
3. Genetics:
-
Family history of obesity can predispose individuals to gain weight more easily.
-
Genetic factors influence how the body stores and burns fat.
​
4. Hormonal Imbalances:
-
Conditions like hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or elevated cortisol levels (from stress or Cushing's syndrome) can increase fat accumulation.
-
Changes in hormones during menopause or pregnancy.
5. Medical Conditions and Medications:
-
Insulin resistance, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
-
Certain medications, such as corticosteroids or antidepressants.
​
6. Psychological Factors:
-
Emotional eating due to stress, depression, or anxiety.
​​
7. Age:
-
As people age, metabolism slows down, and muscle mass tends to decrease, leading to increased fat storage.
How Fat-Dissolving Injections work?
Fat-dissolving injections like Lemon Bottle, DesoFace and DesoBody are non-surgical treatments designed to reduce localized fat deposits. They work through the following mechanisms:​
​​
Lemon Bottle contains Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), lecithin and bromelain. Vitamin B2 induces activation of fat metabolism. Lecithin destroys and transports unnecessary fat cells. Bromelain helps to break down fat and remove inflammation.
​
DesoFace and DesoBody contain deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down dietary fat.
​
When injected into a targeted area (e.g., chin, abdomen, thighs), the solution disrupts the membranes of fat cells. This causes the fat cells to release their cotents, which the body metabolizes and eliminates through the lymphatic system. It is ideal for treating small, stubborn pockets of fat resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment areas include the double chin, abdomen, arms, thighs and back.
​
Advantages of Fat-Dissolving Injections:
-
Non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
-
Minimal downtime with gradual, natural-looking results.
-
Stimulates collagen production, which may improve skin texture and firmness in treated area.
Limitations of Fat-Dissolving Injections:
-
Not a weight-loss solution; best for contouring and reducing localized fat.
-
Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.
-
Results can take weeks to months to fully manifest.
Considerations before treatment:
-
Suitability: Fat-dissolving injections are best suited for individuals close to their ideal weight with localized fat deposits.
-
Consultation: Always consult a qualified medical professional to assess your needs and determine the most appropriate treament.
-
Side effects: Possible side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, and discomfort at the injection site.
Complementary strategies for best results:
-
A balanced diet rich in lead proteins, vegetables, and whole grains.
-
Regular physical activity, including strength training and cardiovascular exercises.
-
Adequate hydration and stress management techniques.

Fat dissolving injections are a cosmetic option for fat reduction but should be used alongside healthy lifestyle habits to maintain long-term results.
