Until recently, the only way to treat excess fat was through liposuction. Thankfully, there’s now a simple non-invasive option: fat dissolving injections. These injections can easily and quickly reduce small fat pockets on the face and body, with popular areas being under the chin and around the jaw. The injections work by dissolving fat cells, allowing them to be eliminated naturally by the body.
Benefits of fat

Minimal downtime
Unlike liposuction which can have up to a few weeks of recovery, fat dissolving injections are a walk-in walk-out appointment with minimal social downtime. It’s a minimally invasive alternative that involves a number of small injections of dissolving product into the target area. With side effects including mild swelling and discomfort, you can resume your normal activities within a few days.
Easy and fast
Each fat dissolving treatment only takes around one hour – so you can get back to your usual activities sooner. We usually recommend 2-4 treatments in total, and we’ll tailor a plan for you at your consultation. Final results are visible once the body has removed all dissolved fat cells – usually after 12 weeks. So if you’re looking to regain your confidence while targeting stubborn areas of fat, fat dissolving injections can bring your aesthetic goals to life.
Fat dissolving injection FAQs

Fat dissolving injections contain synthesised deoxycholic acid – a molecule found naturally in our body to help breakdown dietary fat. When injected below the chin, fat dissolving injections permanently reduces fat and results in a more contoured neck profile and jawline.
How long will it last?
2-4 treatments are recommended depending on the amount of fat cells present. Results are permanent.
Is pain relief provided during the procedure?
Cold packs and local anaesthesia are used to make the treatment more comfortable.
What are the side effects?
After numbing injections have been performed patients should experience minimal to no discomfort. Swelling is normal after this procedure and will gradually resolve over the following 1-2 weeks. Other possible side effects include bruising, numbness, redness, formation of small areas of hardness, itching.
