Fat Dissolving Injections

Many people suffer from visible pockets of fat such as under the chin, around the abdominal area, buttocks, arms or thighs all of which become more stubborn to remove with age. Such areas can be treated with the injection of fat dissolving compounds which attach to the targeted fat cells and destroy them, leading to the dissolved fat cells then being naturally expelled from the body.

Fat dissolving compounds contain a synthetic version of a Deoxycholic acid that occurs naturally in the stomach to break down fat. The compounds are injected into specific targetted areas of the body where they attach to the fat cells and break down the cellular components needed for the fat cells to survive. The dissolved fat is then expelled naturally from the body over the following weeks.

Fat dissolving compounds are used to treat areas with stubborn pockets of fat where there is visible fat build up such as a double chin, fat around the abdominal area, bingo wings on the arms, bra fat, love handles on the flanks, fat around the buttocks, thighs and knees.

Typically 2-4 treatments are recommended 3-6 weeks apart. The fat dissolving process starts to take place around 4 weeks after a course of treatments with the full results being seen around 8 weeks. The results can last up to 4 years and combined with healthy diet and exercise can last even longer.
