Fat dissolving injections break down fat cells in a targeted area so the body clears them naturally. This is a contouring treatment for stubborn pockets, not a weight loss treatment, and I am direct with people about that before they book.
Who it suits
Someone at a stable weight with a specific area that will not shift. A double chin, the upper arms, above the knees, the outer thighs. If you are hoping to lose weight overall, this is not the treatment for that and I will say so.
What to expect
The area is marked and a series of small injections are placed into the fat layer. It takes fifteen to thirty minutes. There is a warm, stinging sensation during and shortly after treatment, which settles.
Aftercare and downtime
Swelling is expected and can be significant for three to seven days, particularly under the chin. Bruising and tenderness are normal. Drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol for forty eight hours, and expect to need two to three sessions four to six weeks apart for a full result.

Questions I get asked
How many sessions will I need?
Usually two to three, four to six weeks apart. Some areas respond after one.
Will the fat come back?
The treated fat cells are gone. Remaining cells can still enlarge if your weight increases, so the result holds best at a stable weight.
Is the swelling really that bad?
Under the chin, yes, for the first few days. Do not book this close to an event.
