Electrolipolysis
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Electrolipolysis is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to reduce localized fat deposits and improve the appearance of the skin by using low-frequency electrical currents. This treatment is primarily sought by individuals who want to contour specific areas of the body, especially when diet and exercise have not effectively targeted stubborn fat pockets. Electrolipolysis utilizes an electrical current delivered via electrodes or fine needles placed directly on or within the skin. This current stimulates the breakdown of fat cells, a process known as lipolysis, which helps release stored fat into the body’s natural metabolic system.
The electrical currents used in electrolipolysis produce rhythmic pulses that generate a mild increase in skin temperature, stimulating blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. This not only aids in fat cell breakdown but also helps in expelling toxins from the body and reducing fluid retention in targeted areas. For optimal results, electrolipolysis is often performed in multiple sessions, typically spaced over a few weeks, allowing the body time to metabolize and eliminate fat. Commonly treated areas include the abdomen, thighs, arms, and buttocks.
Electrolipolysis is generally well-tolerated and involves minimal discomfort. Patients may feel a mild tingling sensation during the procedure due to the electric pulses, but the treatment does not require anesthesia. The procedure is also suitable for individuals who prefer a non-surgical fat-reduction method that offers gradual, natural-looking results without downtime. It’s essential, however, to recognize that electrolipolysis is not a substitute for weight loss. Instead, it’s an option to refine body contours and improve skin tone, often appealing to those in search of less invasive cosmetic solutions.
Procedure Duration
Electrolipolysis is conducted in short outpatient sessions, each typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes. The actual session length depends on the size of the targeted area and the patient’s desired outcome. In the initial consultation, a professional determines the number of sessions required to meet the patient’s specific goals. On average, patients undergo 8 to 12 sessions, spread over several weeks, with each session spaced about 7 to 10 days apart to allow the body to process the released fat cells.
The procedure is relatively straightforward and does not require any special preparation. During each session, electrodes or fine needles are placed on or just under the skin in the target area, delivering electrical pulses to stimulate lipolysis. Since electrolipolysis does not involve surgery, there is no recovery downtime, making it a convenient option for individuals with busy schedules.
After each session, most patients can resume their regular activities immediately. However, they may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, which usually resolves within a few hours. While patients might observe some effects shortly after the procedure, the full results of electrolipolysis become visible over time as the body continues to metabolize the fat. Many individuals begin to notice improvements after their third or fourth session, with optimal results typically achieved one to two months after completing all sessions.
Benefits
- Non-Invasive Approach: Electrolipolysis avoids surgery, anesthesia, and recovery downtime, offering a safer alternative for fat reduction.
- Minimal Discomfort: The procedure typically only causes mild tingling or warmth, making it more comfortable than invasive options.
- Improved Blood Circulation: The electric pulses stimulate blood flow, which can help reduce fluid retention and improve skin texture.
- Detoxification Support: Enhanced lymphatic drainage aids in the elimination of toxins, contributing to overall skin health.
- Targeted Fat Reduction: Electrolipolysis allows for precise contouring, targeting stubborn fat pockets without affecting surrounding tissue.

Risks & Considerations
- Mild Discomfort or Tingling: Some patients experience a tingling sensation during the procedure due to the electrical pulses, though this is typically mild and short-lived.
- Temporary Skin Redness or Swelling: Mild redness or swelling may occur in the treated area after each session, generally subsiding within a few hours.
- Not a Weight Loss Solution: Electrolipolysis is not intended for overall weight loss but rather for body contouring in targeted areas. Patients with significant weight loss goals may require alternative or complementary treatments.
- Possible Ineffectiveness for Certain Individuals: Results can vary, and individuals with higher body fat percentages may not see significant changes with electrolipolysis alone.
- Multiple Sessions Required: For optimal results, electrolipolysis typically requires a series of sessions over several weeks, necessitating a time commitment and patience for gradual improvements.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
When seeking electrolipolysis treatment abroad, it is essential to prioritize clinics with a proven track record in cosmetic procedures. Look for facilities that meet international standards, with experienced practitioners in aesthetic treatments. Evaluating the qualifications and experience of the clinic staff is essential, and it is advisable to consult with a doctor who has performed numerous electrolipolysis treatments successfully.
Additionally, choose a facility that provides comprehensive consultation services to determine the suitability of electrolipolysis for your specific needs. Communication is key, so seek clinics where medical staff are fluent in your preferred language or provide translation services to ensure a clear understanding of the procedure, expectations, and post-treatment care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
