Fat Dissolving injections

Fat dissolving injections typically contains Deoxycholic acid and is injected directly into adipose tissue. When injected into the targeted fat deposits, this solution disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the fat cells to break down and eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system over time. The treatment consists of a couple of treatments (recommeneded two or three), administered 3-4 weeks apart.

Targeted Fat Reduction: Ideal for areas like the chin, abdomen, thighs, and love handles, these injections target and reduce stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.

Minimally Invasive: Unlike surgical procedures, fat dissolving injections are minimally invasive, with no need for incisions or general anesthesia.

Quick and Convenient: The treatment sessions are relatively quick, often taking less than an hour, with minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities promptly.

Natural-Looking Results: The gradual breakdown and elimination of fat cells result in natural-looking improvements in body contour.

The Fat Dissolving Injection Procedure:

Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where we assess your specific concerns and determine if fat dissolving injections are the right treatment for you.

Preparation: On the day of the treatment, the targeted area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort.

Injection: Using fine needles, the fat dissolving solution is carefully injected into the fat deposits. Multiple injections may be needed, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you might experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically subsides within a few days. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to maximise your results.

Cost of Fat Dissolving Injections:

The cost of fat dissolving injections can vary widely depending on the area being treated, and the number of sessions required. On average, prices can range from £90 to £400 per session depending on the area treated. We also offer discounted packages, which is great if wanted more than one treatment.

Common Fat dissolving treatment areas:

1. Chin, Jowls and Jawline:

Fat accumulation in the chin, jowls, and jawline can be frustrating and is often resistant to diet and exercise. Fat in these areas doesn’t look great especially when you loose your jawline and definition from the profile side view. Fat here can be a result of genetics, aging, weight gain, poor posture, and hormonal changes. Fat dissolving injections offer an effective, non-surgical solution to target and reduce these fat deposits. Often referred to as “double chin” treatment, fat dissolving injections can significantly improve the contour and definition of the jawline. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, they are an attractive option for those seeking to improve their facial contours without invasive surgery.

2. Abdomen (INC. SIX-PACK DEFINITION) and under bra-area

We understand fat in the abdomen area can be challenging to get rid of, but with a combination of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and potentially fat dissolving injections, achieving a defined four-pack is possible. Sometimes clients may not have fat in abdomen area but loose muscle after giving birth which may appear very similar to fat. Pregnancy can lead to a condition known as diastasis recti, where the muscles separate and create a bulging appearance, making the abdomen appear larger or as though it has extra fat. It’s important to identify the underlying cause to choose the appropriate treatment. Make sure to book consultation with our practitioners to choose the best approach tailored to your body and health goals.

3. Inner and outer thighs:

Fat accumulation in the inner and outer thighs is a common concern, especially among women. To enhance and maintain the results of fat dissolving injections, incorporating targeted exercises for the thighs can be beneficial:

Squats: Work both the inner and outer thighs, helping to tone and strengthen the muscles.
Lunges: Target multiple muscles in the legs and thighs, aiding in fat reduction and muscle building.
Leg Lifts: Effective for targeting the inner thighs and improving muscle tone.
Side Lunges: Focus on the outer thighs, helping to reduce fat and enhance muscle definition.
Resistance Training: Incorporating weights or resistance bands can increase the effectiveness of these exercises by building more muscle mass.

Fat accumulation in the inner and outer thighs can be challenging to address through diet and exercise alone. Fat dissolving injections provide a non-surgical, effective solution to target these stubborn fat deposits. When combined with a healthy lifestyle and targeted exercises, individuals can achieve and maintain a more toned and contoured appearance.

4. Love Handles and Flanks:

Fat dissolving treatment is very effective in reducing fat around the waist and flanks, helping to achieve a more streamlined silhouette. You may need 3/4 sessions depending on your BMI. Fat around this area can be due to various factors including:

Diet: Consuming high-calorie, sugary, and fatty foods can lead to fat storage in the abdominal area.
Lack of Exercise: A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to the buildup of belly fat.
Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to store fat in their midsection.
Hormonal Changes: Hormones, especially cortisol (the stress hormone), can increase fat storage in the abdominal area.
Age: As we age, our metabolism slows down, making it easier to gain weight in the stomach area.

5. Back

Back fat is a common concern for many individuals, often accumulating around the upper back, lower back, and along the sides, creating a bulging appearance. This area can be particularly stubborn, making it difficult to target through diet and exercise alone. While reducing back fat can be challenging, a combination of targeted exercises, a balanced diet, and modern treatments can help achieve desired results. For those struggling to lose back fat through diet and exercise alone, fat dissolving injections offer a promising solution.

6. Underarms and armpits

Fat dissolving injections are an excellent choice for those who have tried traditional methods for underarms and armpits weight loss without success. This treatment provides a non-surgical alternative to liposuction, offering effective results with minimal disruption to your daily life. Fat accumulation in the underarms and armpits is a common concern for many people. To address these areas you need to reduce overall body fat and strengthen arm muscles, by exercising, eating healthy, reducing sugars and blah blah blah.. you probably heard many times. Here are couple diet tips:

Proteins helps build muscle and can increase metabolism.
Reducing sugar and refined carbs can help decrease fat storage.
Healthy fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil.
Fiber-rich foods can help you feel full longer, reducing overall calorie intake.

7. Area under the buttocks (Banana roll)

Fat accumulation under the buttocks, often referred to as the “banana roll,” can be particularly stubborn and challenging to reduce. These injections use compounds like deoxycholic acid to break down fat cell membranes in the “banana roll” area, which the body then metabolises and removes naturally. These injections precisely target fat deposits in the banana roll area, making them ideal for localised fat reduction. Most patients can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure, with minimal side effects like swelling and bruising that subside within a few days. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate. With a healthy lifestyle, the results can be long-lasting.

Brands used in our clinic:

Aqualyx® Is one of the most widely used fat dissolving injection brands in the UK. It contains deoxycholic acid and is specifically designed to target localized fat deposits. Aqualyx unlike other fat dissolving solutions has a tingling sensation throughout the procedure and you can really feel that product working.

Lipolab® Unlike Aqualyx, Lipolab has no tingling sensation a creates less swelling. When the Lipolab fat dissolving solution is injected into the areas you wish to target, it effectively breaks down the fat cells in that area. Over the following weeks, your body’s natural lymphatic system eliminates the fat cells by flushing them out of the body. As the fat cells shrink and are removed, you'll notice a reduction in the volume of the treated area. This leads to a more sculpted and toned appearance.

Lemon Bottle® Is a little bit more natural option to choose due to its unique formulation and the ingredients. Lemon Bottle injections are known for a blend of natural enzymes and compounds that are biocompatible with the human body. This reduces the likelihood of adverse reactions and makes the treatment gentler on the body. The active ingredients in Lemon Bottle injections often include enzymes that occur naturally within the body or in nature. These enzymes can effectively break down fat without the need for harsher synthetic substances, leading to a treatment that is perceived as being more in harmony with the body's natural processes.
