Have you ever wondered about the history of some of the most common ? We sure have!
Dig into the fascinating story of how Dr. Patricia Rittes, a dermatologist in Brazil, began treating patients with injections to dissolve stubborn fat deposits beneath the skin 👇
In 2001 she published her first scientific paper detailing her management of bulging fat deposits beneath the eyes.
In 2003, Dr. Franz Hasengschwandtner, an Austrian physician specializing in diet and nutritional medicine, began similar treatments but with a wider range of applications and formed Network-lipolysis. This network of physicians was taught his techniques and developed a standardized drug for injection and a standardized protocol to use the drug for fat deposits all over the body.
The first workshops were held in Austria and Germany, and were soon followed by England, the U.S., France, the whole of Europe, India, Asia, Australia and then Africa.
Today Network-lipolysis has 1070 member physicians in 59 countries.
: Our very own Dr. Niessen was taught the technique by Dr. Hasengschwandtner in January and November 2007. He is the fifth physician in Canada to be certified by the Network. Learn more about him and this procedure on our website: https://bit.ly/3r9xjHD
