Intralipotherapy in Lisbon

There is localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise—not because of a lack of effort, but because our bodies have stubborn areas that follow their own logic. Intralipotherapy targets exactly those areas: with direct injections into the fat layer, without surgery, and with long-lasting results.

Unlike other body treatments that target circulation or the skin’s surface, intralipotherapy is an aesthetic medicine procedure specifically designed to eliminate stubborn localized fat. The adipocytolytic solution—a biocompatible substance recognized by the body—is injected directly into the fat layer. There, it breaks down the membranes of fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the lymphatic system.

The result is a gradual and lasting reduction in fat in the treated area—without general anesthesia, without surgery, and without a significant recovery period.

At the Michelle Bond Clinic, intralipotherapy is performed by doctors, following a preliminary individual assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your case and ensure safe and effective results.

The process begins with a consultation, during which the doctor examines the area to be treated, assesses the amount of localized fat, and determines the recommended number of sessions for your specific case.

During the session, the area is prepared, and the fat-dissolving solution is injected directly into the fat layer using a fine needle or cannula. The session takes approximately 30 minutes. No anesthesia is required—it is normal to feel some warmth, pressure, or local tenderness during the application, as well as redness and slight swelling in the days that follow. These effects are temporary and are part of the body’s natural response to the treatment.

The first results are visible after 4 to 6 days. The final result is assessed after 3 to 4 weeks, at which point the doctor reviews the progress and determines whether additional sessions are necessary.

Post-Treatment Care

For the next 2 days, wear loose, comfortable clothing, and avoid sun exposure, alcoholic beverages, and foods high in fat, sugar, and simple carbohydrates. Stay well-hydrated—1.5 to 2 liters of water per day—to help the lymphatic system eliminate fat cells.

It is not recommended for people who are overweight or obese; in such cases, we take an integrated approach that may include a medical consultation for weight loss and other complementary treatments.

It is also not recommended for pregnant women, nursing mothers, or people with autoimmune, liver, kidney, or heart diseases, or diabetes.
