Lipolytic injections have become an increasingly popular non-surgical solution for localized fat reduction. When performed correctly, these treatments can safely and effectively contour areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, back, and submental (chin) region.
In this article, we will explain how to use lipolytic injections, key points to ensure safe practice, and provide dosage guidelines, using LipoGo™ as an example.
Lipolytic injections involve the targeted delivery of active substances—such as deoxycholic acid and Glycerophosphocholine (GPC)—directly into the subcutaneous fat layer.
These substances work by disrupting the membranes of fat cells, causing them to break down. The body then naturally removes the released fat through its metabolic processes.
Products like LipoGo™ represent an advanced approach, combining Glycerophosphocholine (GPC) with other bioactive ingredients powered by smart delivery technology to enhance fat reduction, skin tightening, and tissue recovery.

While specific protocols may vary slightly across products, the administration of lipolytic injections generally follows a standardized procedure. Below, we demonstrate the process using LipoGo lipolytic solution as an example.
Thoroughly disinfect the treatment area.
Mark the injection points carefully using a sterile surgical marker, maintaining consistent spacing.
Review patient history to confirm no contraindications such as active infections, pregnancy, or certain autoimmune conditions.
Shake the ampule to ensure the active ingredients are evenly mixed.
Use an 18G needle to draw the solution from the ampule.
Switch to a 27G fine needle for injection into the treatment area.
Pinch the skin to elevate the fat layer, avoiding deeper muscle tissues.
Inject the solution into the subcutaneous fat at the recommended depth (typically 5–15mm depending on the anatomical area).
Space injection points approximately 1 cm apart for most areas.
Deliver a small, controlled amount of product at each marked point.
Gently massage the treated area to aid even distribution.
Advise the patient to avoid strenuous exercise, sauna use, alcohol consumption, and direct sun exposure for at least 24–48 hours.
Inform patients about possible mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which usually resolves within a few days.
The dosage varies depending on the treatment area, the thickness of the fat layer, and the product formulation. Here is the recommended dosage protocol for LipoGo™:
Target Areas | Injection Points | Space between each point | Injection quantity/each point | Total ampules/target area |
Abdomonal ares | About 125 points |
1cm |
0.7-0.8cc | 8-10 ampules |
Fatty back | About 100 points | 6-8 ampules | ||
Black blow in fat | About 75 points | 4-6 ampules | ||
Both forearms | About 38 points each both forearms | 4-6 ampules | ||
Both thighs | About 50 points each both thighs | 6-8 ampules | ||
Chin | 0.5cm | 0.5cc | 1-2 ampules |
It is recommended to administer injections once per week.
A maximum of 20 vials can be used per session; however, 12–14 vials are typically suggested for safety and optimal efficacy.
For the same treatment area, maintain a 2-week interval between sessions.
For different treatment areas, a 1-week interval is acceptable.
Important: Always adhere to product-specific instructions and consult professional medical guidelines when determining treatment volumes.
Facial regions (e.g., chin): 4–6mm.
Body regions (e.g., abdomen, thighs): 5–15mm.
Using depth guides or consistent technique helps prevent complications.
Grid Injection Pattern:
Maintaining a 1 cm spacing grid ensures even distribution and uniform results.
Pain Management:
Application of topical anesthetics or local infiltration with lidocaine can significantly improve patient comfort during the procedure.
Lipolytic injections offer an effective, minimally invasive alternative for fat reduction and body contouring.
By following proper preparation, injection technique, dosage guidelines, and post-treatment care, practitioners can help patients achieve noticeable improvements with a favorable safety profile.
Using advanced formulations like LipoGo™ further enhances the outcome, providing not just fat reduction but also skin tightening and faster recovery.
As always, success in lipolytic treatment lies in precision, professionalism, and patient-centered care.
Many patients who undergo LipoGo™ lipolytic injection treatments experience noticeable improvements in fat reduction and body contouring after a series of sessions.
Visible results typically include a slimmer profile, smoother skin texture, and improved definition of treated areas.
