Fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. The treatment works by using an injectable solution (often deoxycholic acid or similar compounds) that breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. This treatment is commonly used in areas such as:

-Under the chin (double chin)

-Jawline

-Abdomen

-Thighs

-Flanks (“love handles”)

Results appear gradually over several weeks as the body processes the broken-down fat cells, leading to a more contoured and defined shape in the treated area. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results.

Fat dissolving injections are suitable for adults who:

-Have small, localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

-Are at or near a healthy, stable body weight

-Want a non-surgical solution to contour specific areas

Treatment may not be recommended for individuals who are:

Pregnant or breastfeeding

Under 18 years of age

Significantly overweight or obese

Living with certain medical conditions such as:

Liver or kidney disease

Bleeding disorders

Autoimmune or metabolic disorders (assessed individually)

Infections or skin conditions at the injection site

Known allergies or hypersensitivity to the active ingredients

A consultation is essential to confirm suitability and establish realistic expe

Some downtime may be required depending on the treatment area. Common post-treatment effects include swelling, tenderness, redness, and bruising, particularly in the first few days. Swelling in the chin area can be more pronounced and may last up to a week. Most clients can resume normal daily activities within 24–48 hours but should avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and alcohol for the first 48 hours.

Fat dissolving injections are generally well tolerated but can cause temporary side effects, including:

Swelling, redness, or tenderness

Bruising at injection sites

Numbness or firmness in the treated area

Mild discomfort

Rare but serious complications can include nerve injury (especially in chin treatments) or uneven results if the product is not administered correctly.
