Types of lipolytics

1. direct lipolytics

These substances destroy fat cells(adipocytes) at the cellular level, promoting their excretion through the lymphatic system.

Popular Direct Lipolytics:

• Phosphatidylcholine is the main substance for breaking down fats.
• Sodiumdeoxycholate – enhances the action of phosphatidylcholine.

2. indirect lipolytics

They improve metabolic processes, promote accelerated fat burning, but do not destroy fat cells.

Popular Indirect Lipolytics:

• Caffeine – activates the breakdown of fat.
• Carnitine – accelerates the transport of fats to be converted into energy.

• Lipolytic injections – spot injection of the drug into problem areas.
• Hardware techniques – a combination of lipolytics with ultrasound, RF-lifting.

The most commonly used lipolytics in cosmetology: phosphatidylcholine, sodium deoxycholate, carnitine.
