Is fat dissolving treatment good for you?

Fat dissolving, also called injectable lipolysis, is an effective procedure that reduces localised fat deposits in specific areas such as the chin, jawline, abdomen, back, thighs, and knees. The treatment works by injecting phosphatidylcholine or sodium deoxycholate directly into the fat tissue, to break down the fat cells’ membranes, to reduce fat in the selected areas.

What areas can be targeted with fat dissolving?

Double chin

Stomach and love handles

Inner and back of thighs

Fat under the buttocks (banana rolls)

Upper arms

Chubby knees

 

Who is a good candidate for fat dissolving?

Fat dissolving treatments are best suited for people who are of normal weight or slightly overweight but have stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond well to diet or exercise. This treatment is not intended for weight loss or severe obesity.

For people with loose skin after significant weight loss, we recommend alternative treatments such as skin boosters or mesotherapy to improve skin firmness.

 

What to expect during your fat dissolving appointment?

Your session will start with a short consultation to fill out forms with your medical history and any medications you are taking to rule out contraindications.

The procedure itself is straightforward and painless. A very fine needle is used to inject small amounts of product into the pre marked areas after the skin is disinfected. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or a tingling sensation, which subsides in a few days.

 

Fat dissolving aftercare and tips for best results

After your treatment, you can return to your regular activities, including work. Some clients see noticeable results after a single session, while others may require 2-3 or more treatments, this depends on the amount of fat to be dissolved, aftercare and personal expectations.

To maximise results, we recommend drinking plenty of water, avoiding alcohol, eating a healthy diet, and engaging in light exercise. A lymphatic drainage massage for a few minutes each day can further improve the results.

 

How often and how many sessions of fat dissolving will I need?

Depending on your goals, fat-dissolving treatments can be repeated between 2 to 6 times, with a 4 weeks break between each session. Visible results start showing around 4 weeks after the initial treatment.

What could affect your results?

The success of the fat-dissolving treatment depends on following the aftercare instructions, health, medication and diet. Clients who follow the recommended aftercare, including proper hydration and light exercise, usually see better results than those who do not.

 

Who should avoid fat dissolving?

The treatment is not suitable for you if you have the following conditions:

Acute kidney or liver diseases

Not controlled diabetes

Blood clotting disorders or you take blood thinners

Pregnant or breastfeeding women

Autoimmune conditions

Active infections or inflammation
