Fat Dissolving Injections

Some mild discomfort may occur during treatment application due to the nature of this being an injectable treatment. We apply  a numbing cream to help with pain management should this be required.

Fat dissolving injections work by causing an inflammatory reaction, and therefore you may experience some swelling for up to 5 days post treatment. This is usually mild, and can be controlled using cool pads. Due to how the treatment works, you should not manage any side effects with anti inflammatory medicines as this will be counter intuitive to the treatment.

Other side effects:

You may notice some temporary reddening of the skin, or itching, but this is normal and will gradually reduce over a few days

Length of time for Results

You can expect it to take approx 2-3 weeks before you start to see a reduction in fatty deposits around the chin and jawline, giving a slimmer and less wobbly appearance to the face, helping to eliminate double chins. For larger areas, you will begin to notice the effects after 2-3 weeks, but should allow up to 8 weeks for the final result to be apparent.

How many treatments do I need?

Typically 1-3 treatments will be required to achieve your desired result, but this will be discussed in your pre-treatment consultation along with your expectations. This treatment has a high patient satisfaction rate. We will only treat patients who are within 1 stone of their ideal body weight and around 3cm of pinchable fat, as this treatment is not intended as a weight loss solution.

This treatment should only be administered by a medical professional. Fat dissolving injections carry the CE mark, and have a strong safety record.

• For body treatments, 4-6 sessions.
