Fat Dissolving Injections are a safe, effective treatment that reduces fat cells in the treated area. It produces long lasting results, which means you can banish those annoying fat pockets.

​

Sometimes, no matter how much we exercise or how well we eat, there are stubborn areas of fat that just don’t seem to budge. Most commonly occurring on our arms, our flanks (love handles), back, abdomen, buttocks, thighs and under our chin, these small areas of fat can have a big impact on our confidence. 

​

Contrary to popular belief, stubborn areas of fat aren’t just a consequence of poor diet or weight gain. Our genetics, posture, lifestyle and the activities we take part in, can greatly affect our skin’s elasticity and appearance. Age also plays a major role, with skin losing elasticity and beginning to sag as we get older, due to collagen loss, which can lead to small bulges of fat appearing on even the slimmest of people.  

 

These injections can be used to treat small, exercise resistant, pockets of fat around the chin, chest, abdomen, thighs, knees and ankles. It is very effective for body contouring, but is not a treatment for weight loss.

How does it work?

Deoxycholic acid is the main fat dissolving material and a naturally occurring human bile acid, which is a metabolic by-product of human intestine bacteria. In the human body Deoxycholic acid is used in the emulsification of fats for absorption in the intestine. Thus being a safe and effective way to treat and reduce fat cells. The fat cells become unstable and break open. The fatty acids contained within the cell are then eliminated by macrophages (part of the body’s immune system) and the liver.​
