Fat dissolving injections are ideal for small, stubborn pockets of fat that won’t budge with diet and exercise — particularly under the chin. The solution breaks down fat cells permanently, and your body naturally clears them away over the following weeks.
A specially formulated solution is injected directly into the fat pocket. It disrupts fat cell membranes, causing them to break down. Your body’s lymphatic system then naturally processes and removes the destroyed cells over the following weeks.
Fat dissolving injections excel at precision — treating small pockets where fat freezing would be impractical or where you need more targeted contouring.
Fat dissolving involves an inflammatory response — that’s how it works. Expect swelling, warmth, and tenderness in the days after treatment. This is normal and a sign the process is working.
You’ll feel stinging during the injections and discomfort afterward as the area swells. It’s not painless — but it’s short-lived. Most clients say the results are well worth the temporary discomfort.
Typically 3–7 days, though mild swelling can persist for up to 2 weeks. Under the chin, expect noticeable swelling for the first few days. Plan accordingly if you have social commitments.
Yes — once fat cells are destroyed, they don’t come back. However, remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain significant weight. Maintaining a stable, healthy weight preserves your results.
Fat freezing suits larger areas with a “pinchable” amount of fat. Fat dissolving is better for smaller, more precise pockets — particularly under the chin. We’ll recommend the most suitable approach at your consultation.
Yes, always. We need to assess the treatment area, check suitability, and discuss realistic expectations. This is an injectable treatment and we take suitability seriously.
