Fat Dissolving Injections

  • Also known as lipolytic injections, fat dissolving injections are specialised solutions that target and reduce localised deposits of stubborn fat in various parts of the body. Fat dissolving injections are not intended for weight loss but can be used to compliment a healthy diet and lifestyle.

  • Fat dissolving injections contain substances such as riboflavin (vitamin B12), lecithin, bromelain and  deoxycholic acid which are all utilised to breakdown body fat. 

    When injected into subcutaneous fat, cell membranes are disturbed, causing the destruction of fat cells, which are then removed via the lymphatic system. Once fat cells have been disposed of, they will not return, assuming a healthy diet and lifestyle is maintained.

  • Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, stubborn areas of fat can be left behind. Fat dissolving injections target these areas that often cause low confidence and a lack of self-assurance. 

    Treatments are quick, minimally invasive and can be used to treat a wide variety of areas, such as, chin, jowls, arms, stomach, love handles and thighs. They are a less invasive alternative to other fat reducing treatments, such as liposuction, and can help with cellulite.

  • Unfortunately, not all treatments are suitable for all. Please check if any of the following contraindications apply:

    • Pregnant or breastfeeding

    • Active infection near the site of injection

    • Cancer

    • Diabetes

    • Skin diseases

    • Undiagnosed lumps found anywhere  on the body

    • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to the product

  • After receiving fat dissolving injections, the following side effects may be experienced:

    • Itching at the site of injection

    • Sensation of heat

    • Swelling 

    • Bruising and redness

    • Local hypersensitivity

  • Typically 2-6 sessions, four weeks apart, are required to achieve the desired results. Although the product begins working immediately once injected, visible results can take 4-6 weeks. 

    Once fat cells are destroyed they will not return, assuming a healthy lifestyle is maintained and no new weight is gained.

  • After receiving treatment, please follow the after care advice.

    • Maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle

    • Stay hydrated since this encourages your body to flush out the excess fat

    • Allow 4 weeks after the final treatment for full effects

    Things to avoid:

    • Touching the area immediately after treatment

    • Body creams and similar products on the treated area

    • Alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks for 24 hours

    • Excessive heat for 3 days, such as heavy workouts, saunas, steam rooms and tanning
