Fat Dissolving

Fat dissolving is a non-surgical procedure designed to reduce stubborn fat in specific areas of your body. This treatment is ideal for those looking to enhance their body contours without the need for invasive surgery.

​

The process involves injections of a specially formulated solution, such as deoxycholic acid, which targets and breaks down fat cells. Once the fat cells are dissolved, your body naturally metabolizes and eliminates the fat over time.

  • Abdomen

  • Thighs

  • Love handles (flanks)

  • Upper arms

What to Expect

After the treatment, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort in the injection areas. These side effects are typically temporary. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve your desired results, and it’s essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the downtime?

Fat dissolving treatments usually have a mild to moderate downtime. You can expect some swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area, which can last anywhere from 2–10 days, depending on the individual and the area treated. Most people are able to return to their normal activities within a few days, but the swelling may persist longer.

 

What should I avoid after having my treatment?

After fat dissolving injections, it’s important to:

  • Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least 3–5 days.

  • Avoid saunas, hot baths, and sun exposure for a few days to minimize swelling and irritation.

  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours, as it can increase the risk of bruising.

  • Refrain from massaging or applying pressure to the treated area to allow the fat-dissolving solution to work effectively.

 

Who can't have this treatment?

Fat dissolving injections may not be suitable for:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.

  • People with active infections or skin conditions in the treatment area.

  • Those with severe liver or kidney conditions, as the body processes the dissolved fat through these organs.

  • Individuals with autoimmune disorders or other serious medical conditions should consult their doctor before treatment.

  • Those with unrealistic expectations of the results, as this treatment is meant for small, localized areas of stubborn fat and is not a weight-loss solution.

 

Is it possible to have an allergic reaction?

Allergic reactions to fat dissolving injections are rare, but possible. The ingredients used, such as deoxycholic acid, can potentially cause a reaction in sensitive individuals. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include swelling, redness, itching, or difficulty breathing. It's crucial to inform your practitioner of any known allergies or sensitivities before treatment.
