The sunflower liposome is a vesicle formed by several enzymes that may have the function of breaking down and mobilizing fat molecules and, therefore, could be used to treat localized fat by injecting liposomes into the area to be treated.
Despite being indicated as an aesthetic treatment, scientific studies are still needed to prove its effect in combating localized fat and, therefore, treatment with this liposome is not recognized by ANVISA and the Federal Council of Medicine, only being recognized for its use for therapeutic and medicinal purposes.
What is it for
Sunflower liposome is mainly used to combat localized fat, with injections containing the liposome being applied to the region to be treated to mobilize and eliminate fat. Thus, this procedure can be used to reduce the amount of fat in the abdominal region, culottes, region close to the knee and armpits, for example.
How is done
Treatment with sunflower liposome must be carried out in the dermatologist’s office or a professional trained in aesthetics and consists of the application of injections in the region to be treated, with 10 sessions being normally recommended at least once a week. The injections contain the sunflower liposome, which corresponds to a vesicle made up of enzymes extracted from this plant that are capable of breaking down fat molecules.
In addition to the sunflower liposome, depending on the objective of the treatment, L-carnitine, which is an amino acid capable of promoting the use of fat as a source of energy and enhancing the action of the sunflower liposome, or PPAR, can also be added to the injection. -gamma, a peptide that is also capable of favoring the effect of the sunflower liposome and reducing the risk of the person having the accordion effect.
Sessions usually last around 40 minutes and should be followed by other procedures that help to enhance fat mobilization and promote weight loss, such as cryolipolysis or lymphatic drainage, for example. Furthermore, to improve results and guarantee benefits, it is also recommended that the person practice physical activity regularly and eat a diet containing fat.
