FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS

Fat dissolving can be used to treat small, stubborn pockets of fat around the chin, chest, abdomen, thighs, knees, under arms, love handles, flanks and ankles.

How does it work?
It works by breaking down cell membranes to liquify the fat cell, destroying it permanently, releasing the lipids that are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.

The procedure consists of a set of injections, administered 3-4 weeks apart, whereby the chemical is injected into the targeted area. A visible difference will be seen after the initial treatment, but we recommend 3 sets of injections to benefit from optimum results.

What is involved in the treatment?
After a pre-treatment consultation your practitioner will mark out the area of concern and a series of injections will be carried out. The elastic needles allow small areas to be tackled effectively such as double chin or jowls.

Are there any side effects?
This is a non-surgical solution which means no downtime and no general anaesthetic risks. As there are no incisions, stitches are not required and scarring is very unlikely.

There are some possible temporary side effects, which can include bruising, swelling, redness and irritation in the injection area. Sometimes it may feel a slightly tender to touch, numb or itchy but these side effects usually reside after 1-3 days.
