What Is illumia Fat Melt Treatment?
Illumia Fat Melt treatment is Singapore’s first non-surgical way to spot-reduce stubborn fats and regain your confidence. Known as the world’s first enzymatic liposuction, this treatment combines regenerative bioengineered enzymes and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HMW-HA), to reduce double chins, localised fat and cellulite without surgery.
How Does illumia Fat Melt Treatment Work?
Enzymes are naturally occurring substances in our body that have the power to build, repair and rejuvenate cells and tissues. When bioengineered into recombinant enzymes, they become purer, more stable and less reactive, reducing the risk of triggering immune responses.
illumia Fat Melt’s bioengineered enzymes, when injected, penetrate fat cells without damaging their membranes. These enzymes break down fat cells into free fatty acids and glycerol, allowing them to be easily metabolised and reducing the overall volume of fat cells. Furthermore, the enzymes promote healthy collagen production (Type 1 and Type 3) while breaking down misformed collagen and reducing water retention in treated areas. This process effectively diminishes facial and body fat, as well as cellulite.
