What are Fat Dissolving Injections?

Fat Dissolving Injections are a revolutionary, non-surgical treatment to permanently eliminate stubborn, localised fat pockets that resist diet and exercise.

We use the industry-leading compound Aqualyx®, which contains Deoxycholic Acid — a naturally occurring substance that permanently ruptures and liquefies fat cells. These destroyed cells are then safely and naturally processed and eliminated by the body's lymphatic system.

Whether refining the double chin or contouring the stomach, thighs, or arms, this treatment offers a targeted, permanent solution for a more defined silhouette.

The process is simple yet highly effective:
1. Targeted Fat Cell Destruction: The active solution is injected directly into the localised fat deposit.
2. Lysis and Elimination: The solution breaks down the fat cells in that area (adipocytolysis).
3. Permanent Removal: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regenerate. The body's lymphatic system naturally flushes the residue out over the following weeks.
This results in a gradual, natural reduction in volume and an improved contour of the treated area.
Permanent Fat Reduction: Once fat cells are destroyed, they are gone for good.
Non-Surgical: No general anaesthesia, incisions, or extensive downtime is required.
Targeted Contouring: Allows for precise sculpting of specific, stubborn areas.
Refines the Jawline: Excellent solution for treating the double chin (submental fat).
Gradual and Natural Results: The body's natural elimination process ensures the fat reduction appears subtle and smooth over time.
Fat dissolving injections are best suited for individuals who are:
- At or near their ideal body weight but have isolated, resistant pockets of fat.
- Seeking non-surgical reduction for specific areas that do not respond to traditional weight loss methods.
- Concerned with submental fullness (double chin).
- Willing to commit to multiple treatment sessions for optimal results.
- Realistic in their expectations—this is a contouring treatment, not a solution for general weight loss.

Treatment Details

Following a comprehensive consultation to map the fat deposits, the treatment area is marked.
A local anaesthetic is often mixed with the Aqualyx® solution or applied to the skin to ensure comfort.
The solution is then injected directly into the fatty tissue using a fine needle or cannula.
The procedure is relatively quick, typically taking 30–60 minutes.
Swelling and tenderness are an expected and necessary part of the fat elimination process.
Immediate Swelling: Expect significant swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treated area, which typically peaks 24–72 hours after treatment. This is normal and indicates the treatment is working.
Bruising & Numbness: Bruising, firmness, and a temporary feeling of numbness are common and can last for several weeks.
Avoid: Strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot baths for 48 hours.
Do: Gently massage the area as advised by your practitioner. Staying hydrated and wearing compression garments (if recommended) can aid the healing process.
Fat dissolving injections require patience. A series of treatments is always necessary to achieve satisfactory results:
Sessions: Most areas require 2 to 4 sessions (the body may require more), spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Timeline: Results are gradual. Initial visible changes begin approximately 3–4 weeks after the first session, with optimal results seen 1–2 months after the final session.
Once the fat cells are destroyed and eliminated, the result is permanent.
