Our experience with minimally invasive treatments
At Ascension, we focus on treatments that can achieve effective results with a minimally invasive approach. We believe there are a variety of benefits to minimally invasive treatment options, when treatments are performed by highly trained and experienced injectors.
Trained by Dr. Scott Allison, our team refines our skills and techniques to provide personalised, high-quality treatments. Treatments with experienced injectors can achieve significant results without the need for surgery.
“Using fat dissolving injections, I am able to provide my patients the same results as submental liposuction, but without the risks and recovery of a surgical procedure.” – Dr. Scott Allison.

Suitable candidates for the treatment
Suitable candidates for fat dissolving injections are those who want to target unwanted fat on the face or body, without surgery. Common treatment areas include underneath the chin, and around the jaw.
Since the treatment targets fat pockets and is not a weight loss procedure, suitable candidates should be within a healthy weight range. There can be some contraindications to the treatment, such as diabetes, skin conditions in the treatment area and other health concerns that can interfere with healing or results. Dr. Allison will assess your suitability for the treatment, discussing health factors and your personal goals.
Candidates should have realistic expectations for the results of fat dissolving injections. Some patients may need a series of treatment sessions to achieve results, usually about two-to-four treatments.

The fat dissolving injections procedure
To begin your treatment, the skin in the treatment area will be prepped to ensure proper hygiene. A local anaesthesia can then be injected into the area to support comfort levels. Cold packs can also be used to help manage comfort throughout the treatment.
Focusing on the areas with stubborn fat pockets, the fat dissolving molecule is carefully injected in small amounts at a time. The injections work to break down the targeted fat, allowing them to be naturally eliminated by the body after treatment.
Depending on your personal needs and goals, you may need a series of treatments (typically two-to-four) for optimal results.
