Fat Dissolving
What are fat dissolving injections?
Fat dissolving injections, also known as lipolytic injections or lipodissolve, are a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to reduce localised pockets of fat. These injections typically contain substances that help break down and dissolve fat cells when injected into specific areas of the body.
Fat dissolving injections are often used to contour and sculpt areas where stubborn fat deposits are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, and under the chin. This treatment can provide noticeable improvements in body contouring without the need for surgical intervention.
The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive, with little downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities shortly after treatment. Results may take several weeks to become fully apparent as the body gradually metabolises the dissolved fat. For optimal results, multiple sessions may be required, and a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider is essential to determine the best approach for individual needs and goals
How do fat dissolving injections work?
Fat dissolving injections work by introducing a substance, typically deoxycholic acid, into targeted areas of the body with localized pockets of fat. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring bile acid that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into specific areas, such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, or flanks, deoxycholic acid disrupts the cell membranes of fat cells, causing them to break down.
Once the fat cells are disrupted, they release their contents, which are then metabolised and eliminated by the body's natural processes over time. This results in a reduction of fat volume in the treated area, leading to a more contoured and sculpted appearance.
It's important to note that fat dissolving injections are not intended for weight loss. They are typically recommended for individuals who are at or near their ideal weight but have stubborn areas of fat resistant to diet and exercise. Multiple treatment sessions, spaced several weeks apart, may be necessary to achieve the desired results. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent new fat deposits from forming after treatment.
