Applying Pine Bottle involves a precise methodology to ensure effective lipolysis while maintaining patient comfort and safety. Here's a detailed step-by-step guide on how to apply Pine Bottle:

1. 1. Preparation:

      • Cleanse and disinfect the area to be treated to minimize any risk of infection.
      • Mark the treatment areas clearly to guide the injections.

   2. Injection Technique:

      • Use a thin needle (such as a 34G 2mm needle) for minimal discomfort.
      • Administer small doses at each point; for facial treatments, use 0.1 to 0.25 ml per point, ensuring even distribution along the marked lines.

   3. Dosage and Distribution:

      • Apply the solution directly into the fatty layer beneath the skin.
      • For the face, distribute about 5.0 ml per side in a pattern that targets the main areas of concern.
      • In areas like the arms, thighs, and abdomen, adjust the volume according to the extent of fat and the specific needs (e.g., 10 to 20 ml per thigh).

   4. Procedure Protocol:

      • The treatment should occur in sessions, typically 1 to 3 times with a 4-week gap between each session to allow the body to respond to the lipolysis.
      • Following the initial treatments, adjust the intervals and dosage based on the progress and patient response.

   5. Post-Treatment Care:

      • Advise patients to avoid intense physical activity and exposure to heat (like saunas) for at least 24 hours.
      • Recommend gentle lymphatic massage to reduce swelling and support lymphatic drainage in the treated areas.

   6. Safety and Comfort Measures:

      • To minimize pain and swelling, you can dilute the Pine Bottle solution with a small amount of lidocaine.
      • Use alcohol ice gauze post-injection to soothe the area.
