With summer just around the corner, many people are looking to achieve a bikini body in time to hit the beach with confidence. Unfortunately, losing weight through conventional methods of diet and exercise can be extremely challenging. Fortunately, treatments like CoolSculpting® and lipotropic injections can remove stubborn fat and help you achieve the physique you desire. While you may have heard of CoolSculpting, you may be unfamiliar with lipotropic injections, which can be used in conjunction with other fat-reduction treatments. Here is what you should know. 

How Do Lipotropic Injections Work?

Lipotropic injections, sometimes referred to as fat burning injections, deliver a medley of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to the body. The shots are more effective than taking a supplement because they are injected straight into the bloodstream.

Also, while a healthy diet is also a crucial part of long-term weight loss, it can be very challenging for a person to consume all the essential nutrients they need through diet alone. But these nutrients are vital for burning fat, building lean muscle mass, and detoxifying the liver, the organ responsible for metabolizing fat. Some of the compounds in a lipotropic injection include choline, vitamin B12, and inositol. 

What Are They Used For?

Lipotropic injections, similar to CoolSculpting, can reduce fat deposits in trouble areas, including the thighs, stomach, arms, buttocks, or hips. After you have lost weight, you may still have cellulite, as this condition affects up to 90% of women and might be genetic.

These injections can also be used to reduce cellulite. Cellulite is not an indication of body fat percentage, but rather the structure of the fat. It is caused when fat pushes up against the skin. Lipotropic injections and CoolSculpting can break up these fat deposits to give you a toned, smooth appearance.
