Say goodbye to stubborn fat!!!

"THIS TREATMENT IS COMBINED WITH STYKU 3D BODY SCAN"

​

WHAT IS FAT DISSOLVING?

Fat dissolving injection that helps treat localised, stubborn fat on the face and body that just won’t shift with diet and exercise. It is a form of lipolysis, a non-invasive treatment which accelerates the body’s natural fat removal process.

​

The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid – a bile acid which naturally emulsifies and solubilises dietary fats in the intestine. It is a cytolytic medication which means it helps break down a specific type of cell; in this case fat cells, when injected under the skin to give a slimmer and firmer outcome.

​

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The area of concern is injected with the fat dissolving product to liquefy (and permanently destroy) fat cells, which drain naturally through the body’s lymphatic system over the course of a few weeks.

Fat dissolving is separated into concentrations for the face and the body, and is an effective treatment for double chins, love handles, inner arms, stomach fat, inner thighs, knees and more.

While Fat dissolving is not designed to treat obesity, the injectable treatment is a successful solution for targeting specific areas.

​

AM I SUITABLE FOR FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS?

As this treatment is not an intended alternative for considerable weight loss, a suitable patient would have localised areas of fat that are pinchable by 1.5 to 10cm. It may not be advised if a person is, or may be, pregnant.

​

ARE FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS SAFE?

This treatment is clinically proven and is considered to be very safe when administered by an expert injector. 

​

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED? 

We are always working on a case by case basis but depending on the size of treatment area small usually a course of 2 to 4 treatments is required and large usually a course of 4 or 6 treatments will be required at 4-6 weekly intervals. The number of treatments needed is dependent on the amount of fat to remove and will be discussed at your consultation.

​

WILL IT HURT?

Measures will be taken to ensure the procedure remains as pain free as possible. Lidocaine is added to the solution, a substance that can help to ensure comfort. 

As with all injectable treatments, many patients feel a little discomfort. However, it is generally considered painless and the discomfort is tolerable. It does contain a local anaesthetic for patient comfort.

​

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OR RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS?

Fat dissolving injections can result in inflammation, swelling and redness at the injection site. The treated area may also feel sensitive following your appointment. You may continue with day to day activities and physical activities as usual.

​

Some swelling, aching and sensitivity may occur as a result of this treatment. These effects should be fairly minor and will subside within a short space of time. There is also the possibility of some post-treatment bruising, which could last for up to 7 days.

​

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO AFTER TREATMENT?

Patients should avoid hot showers and baths on the day of treatment, and need to wear a compression garment (such as Spanx) for 72 hours afterwards. However, you can continue day to day activities and exercise as normal.

HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS FOLLOWING MY TREATMENT?

Most patients start to see results from their treatment after 2 to 3 weeks. It is important to remember that this is a more gradual treatment option as the body must drain the destroyed fat cells through the lymphatic system. 

​

HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST? 

As this product destroys fat cells, results are permanent providing you maintain a healthy diet and exercise regime.

​

IS THERE ANY ASSOCIATED DOWNTIME?

The procedure should not cause the patient any associated downtime and normal activities could be returned to immediately after treatment if the patient wishes. We may recommend the use of a compression to be worn for several days after the treatment, but this should not be restrictive.​​​
