Lecithin in Skincare & Aesthetics – What You Need to Know

Lecithin is more than just a supplement for cholesterol and memory — it also plays an important role in skincare formulations and aesthetic treatments. At RJ Clinic, lecithin is not only found in advanced topical care like RJ Clinicals Night Repair, but also connected to body contouring solutions.

What is Lecithin?

Lecithin is a natural phospholipid derived from soy, sunflower or egg yolk. In aesthetics, it’s used as:

• A delivery agent that helps skincare actives like niacinamide absorb deeper

• A hydrating agent that strengthens the skin barrier

• A component in mesotherapy fat-dissolving injections (phosphatidylcholine, a lecithin derivative)

Benefits of Lecithin in Aesthetics

1. Enhances Skincare Absorption

Lecithin is widely used in serums and creams as an emulsifier, ensuring ingredients like Niacinamide work more effectively.

2. Strengthens Skin Barrier & Hydration

By replenishing lipids, lecithin improves moisture reten

tion and reduces irritation — making it ideal for sensitive or post-laser skin.

👉 Recommended with: PicoSure Pro Laser or Chemical Peel for faster recovery.

3. Fat-Dissolving & Body Contouring

Phosphatidylcholine, derived from lecithin, has been used in lipodissolve injections to target stubborn fat.

👉 At RJ Clinic, non-surgical options like Aqualyx fat melting and ReduStim body contouring are preferred safe alternatives.

4. Anti-Aging Night Care

Our RJ Clinicals Night Repair contains niacinamide with lecithin to improve absorption, repair skin overnight, and fight fine lines.
