Lipo-Derm – minimally invasive procedure for localized fat removal
Treatment for persistent fat deposits in areas such as the goiter, flanks or underarms, performed with local anesthesia and rapid recovery
There are situations in which, despite a balanced lifestyle and stable weight, certain small areas of the body remain resistant to diet and physical activity.
Lipo-derm is a medical procedure designed to correct these reduced-volume fat deposits, through a minimally invasive localized remodeling technique, performed under local anesthesia.
What do you need to know?
- The procedure is indicated exclusively for small, well-demarcated areas.
- Permanently removes fat from adipose tissue in the mentioned areas
Why Lipo-Derm?
- Permanently removes fat from adipose tissues (see areas below) vs. only partial or temporary melting/dissolution, through other methods/procedures (e.g. injectable lipolysis)
- One-time intervention (no repetitive sessions as with other minimally invasive procedures)
- Local anesthesia no general anesthesia
- No hospitalization – continuing activities normally, generally from the very second day after the intervention
- The price of the procedure is transparent, you know the total payment amount from the beginning, without hidden costs or additional costs
What is the treatment for localized fat - Lipo-Derm
Lipo-Derm involves a controlled intervention on localized adipose tissue, using instruments dedicated to small areas, with the aim of selectively reducing the volume in the treated area.
Important:
- It is not a weight loss method.
- It does not replace major surgery.
- It is not intended for extensive body remodeling.
- It is a medical solution for fine, limited corrections in well-defined areas.
Areas treated: double chin, underarms, flanks, around the knees
Lipo-Derm is indicated exclusively for small, localized and well-demarcated fat deposits.
Frequently addressed areas include:
- Submental region (discreet double chin)
- Axillary folds
- Reduced flanks (discreet “love handles”)
- Lower lumbar area
- Internal arm – minor excess fat in the underarm area
- Peri-knee region (small localized deposits)
- Trochanteric region (subgluteal and thigh area, slight fat accumulation)
- The procedure is not indicated for large areas or for generalized excess fat.
Who is it NOT addressed to?
Lipo-Derm is not recommended for:
- Overall abdomen
- Bulky thighs or flanks
- Arms with significant skin laxity
- Extensive body remodeling
- Patients with obesity
The indication is established exclusively during the medical consultation, the first mandatory step in identifying eligibility for treatment.
Eligibility criteria
The procedure is indicated for patients:
- Normal weight or stable weight
- With small and well-defined fat deposits
- With adequate skin elasticity
- With realistic expectations
Medical consultation is mandatory for evaluation and determination of the correct indication.
How the localized fat removal procedure works
- The procedure is performed under local anesthesia.
- The average duration of the procedure is two hours.
- Discharge takes place on the same day
- Professional activity can be resumed quickly, in most cases
The protocol is personalized depending on the anatomical particularities and the area treated.
Recovery and evolution:
In the post-procedural period, the following may occur:
- Temporary edema
- Mild bruising
- Transient local discomfort
Remodeling becomes progressively visible starting from 4 weeks, and the final result stabilizes in approximately 3 months.
Result
Lipo-Derm allows for a controlled and permanent reduction in volume in the treated areas, contributing to harmonizing body contours naturally.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. The medical consultation is an important step before the procedure. During this consultation, the doctor:
- evaluates the area with fat deposits;
- analyzes medical history;
- explains the benefits, limitations, and possible risks of the procedure;
- determines whether the treatment is appropriate for the patient.
The consultation allows for the personalization of the treatment plan and increases the safety of the procedure.
The duration of the Lipo-Derm procedure depends on the area being treated and the size of the fat deposit. In general, the treatment takes about two hours, including preparation of the area, administration of local anesthesia, and performance of the procedure. After the procedure, the patient remains for a short period of monitoring.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the discomfort experienced during the treatment is generally minimal. After the procedure, there may be temporary mild tenderness, swelling or a feeling of local tension, which gradually resolves during the recovery period.
No. The Lipo-Derm procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, within the clinic, without requiring hospitalization. In most cases, the patient can resume their usual activities the next day, following the doctor's recommendations.
In the case of this procedure, only one session is required for the mentioned areas.
The results appear gradually, as the treated area remodels. The rate at which they become visible may vary from one person to another, depending on the particularities of the body, the size of the fat deposit and the treated area. In general, changes can be gradually observed 4 weeks after the procedure.
As with any minimally invasive procedure, temporary local reactions may occur, such as mild swelling, tenderness, redness, or minor bruising in the treated area. These manifestations are usually transient and gradually resolve. Your doctor will provide specific recommendations for the post-procedure period.
The Lipo-Derm procedure aims to remove the fat deposit from the treated area. Following the procedure, the adipose tissue in that region is eliminated, so that the fat does not reappear in the same area. The medical consultation allows for individual assessment and determination of the correct indication for the procedure.
No. The procedure is intended to reduce small localized fat deposits and reshape specific areas of the body. It is not a general weight loss method and does not replace a balanced diet or physical activity.
In certain situations, the procedure can be integrated into a personalized treatment plan, along with other dermato-aesthetic procedures. The specialist physician establishes the appropriate combinations depending on the patient's objectives and the characteristics of the treated area.
After the procedure, the doctor may recommend for a limited period:
- avoiding intense physical exertion;
- avoiding exposure to excessive heat (sauna, hot baths);
- avoiding massage in the treated area, unless specifically recommended.
These recommendations may vary depending on the area treated and the individual patient's progress.
