Designed to target stubborn areas like the chin and back, giving you a more defined appearance.
Fat Dissolving injections contain an acid which is found naturally in the body, similar to the one released by the gallbladder that helps dissolve fatty foods.
The product is injected into the fat in and around the targeted area and permanently destroys the fat cells. Once the fat cells have been destroyed they cannot store fat again.
Permanently dissolve fat cells in key areas for long-lasting, visible results tailored to your unique body goals.
Natural ageing, genetics and weight fluctuations can all influence stubborn fat deposits on the body. Sometimes these deposits will not shift despite regular exercise and being a healthy weight.
Fat dissolving injections are a great way to get rid of unwanted, stubborn and excess fat. By removing unwanted pockets of fat, they can give definition and structure to your face and body leaving you feeling healthy and confident.
Fat Dissolving Injections help target unwanted pockets of fat on the face and body in areas such as: double chin, jowls, abdomen, inner thighs, flanks, outer thighs (saddle bags), upper arms (bingo wings),under arms (bra bulge) and inner knees.
We recommend at least two treatments in order to see results, with some patients needing up to three treatments to see optimal results. The number of treatments that you need depends largely on the amount of fullness that you have in the targeted area. Treatments are usually placed around four to six weeks apart.
How long does the results last?
After reaching your desired result, the effects are permanent as the fat cells are completely destroyed and cannot hold fatty tissue again.
There are a number of conditions where clients cannot be treated, including if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have an active skin condition or if tissue in the bra area is breast tissue rather than fat. Excessive loose skin under the chin can also render the treatment not as effective.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT?
This will depend on the size of the treatment performed. In most cases, there is a significant degree of swelling that lasts for a week, as well as tenderness of the treated area. In some cases, hard lumps form, and these can take some time to reduce in size. Bruising is also a common side-effect and can last up to two weeks.
Clients will require an in-depth consultation in person to ensure they are eligible for treatment. Once given the green light to proceed, the treatment will see the client’s targeted area is cleaned and marked with a 1cm grid guide, numbed with anaesthetic cream, then the fat dissolving injections performed all within the safe zone across the grid markings. The injection part of the procedure takes approximately ten minutes.
A local inflammatory response will occur in some cases causing some immediate redness and swelling. A cold compress is applied for ten minutes immediately following the injections to reduce and minimise swelling and redness.
