"non-surgical removal of stubborn fat with natural ingredients"

The aim of injection lipolysis is the removal of unwanted pockets of fat to enable you to have the body shape that you crave.
How does it work?
At RP Aesthetics, Dr. Dirk uses the Ceccarelli lipolysis solution. This solution contains the natural ingredients. Vitamin C and Iron. When this solution is injected into/near fatcells, a natural process of cell destruction referred to as apoptosis, is initiated. The fat cells therefore no longer exist.
The Ceccarelli solution also contains a local anaesthetic agent which lessens the discomfort during injection.
