How does needle-free work?
The Hyaluron Pen is a needle-free system that uses air pressure to bring fat dissolve products into the skin in a non-invasive way without the use of needles. This device was initially invented for diabetics as a way to inject insulin and is an excellent alternative to those with needle phobias. This is an electric device system controlled with pre-settings for precise solution amounts and depth, per injection. For an area such as under the chin, a manual device is used with a controlled setting, being less invasive to this more sensitive area.
​
About the solution and how it works
​
Deoxycholate Acid is an FDA approved fat dissolving material. In the human body, deoxycholic acid is used in the emulsification of fats for the absorption in the intestine.
Lipolysis by deoxycholic acid induces the destruction of normal fat cells in the body. The unique formula also arouses the eruption of normal fat cells by leading to excessive absorption of water in the cells. After the emulsification process has occurred, the enzymes are eliminated from the body through sweat and urine.
​
**This is not a weight loss treatment or an alternative to diet and exercise.
​
Once the fat cell is destroyed, it is permanent. However, you should always maintain a healthy calorie diet.
​
How many treatments will I need?
​
How many sessions it will take to achieve your goal will depend upon the volume of fat there is already in that area. On an average, 2-4 treatments are required with intervals of 2-3 weeks.
​
How long before I will see results?
​
There may be minimal swelling which will usually go down within 48 hours.. Results can start to be seen in as little as 5 days but the full effect can be seen in approximately 1 month to 6 weeks. Be patient! Individuals results may vary. Diet and proper exercise can help propel better results. Drinking at least 2 liters of water each day starting (1) one week prior to treatment and continuing thereafter, is very vital and speeds up results.
Does this treatment hurt?
​
Most clients tolerate the treatment without serious un-comfort. A slight stinging or warm sensation may be felt in more sensitive areas of the body.
