Fat Dissolving Injections

Permanent Fat Cell reduction for stubborn areas

Targeted fat reduction for small, stubborn areas

Some fat deposits are too small for freezing but too stubborn to ignore. A pocket under your chin that makes you self-conscious in photos. A small bulge that disrupts an otherwise smooth silhouette.

Fat dissolving injections offer a precise solution. Using Lemon Bottle or Desobody — advanced fat-dissolving compounds — we can target these small areas directly, breaking down fat cells so your body can eliminate them naturally.

Ideal for small, stubborn pockets of fat that are too small for fat freezing or in areas requiring precision — like under the chin, jowls, or small body pockets.

Once fat cells are destroyed, they don't regenerate. Results are permanent for the treated cells, though maintaining a healthy lifestyle preserves your results.

No surgery, no general anaesthetic. Quick treatment sessions with minimal downtime — most clients return to normal activities the same day.

We offer Lemon Bottle and Deso/Aqualyx, allowing us to recommend the most suitable product for your specific concern and anatomy.

Our Qualifications & Standards

How Does Fat Dissolving Injections Work?

Treatment involves multiple small injections across the targeted area. You’ll experience some swelling, which is normal and expected — it’s part of the inflammatory response that breaks down fat. Swelling typically peaks at 24–48 hours and resolves within 1–2 weeks.

Some bruising and tenderness is common. Most clients can return to normal activities immediately, though you may prefer to avoid social commitments for a few days while swelling settles.

Fat Dissolving Injections — What It Treats | Truth Non-Surgical
Targeted Treatment Areas

What It Treats

Fat dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid to permanently break down fat cells in targeted areas. Ideal for smaller, stubborn pockets that resist diet and exercise.

MOST POPULAR
D

Double Chin

Our most popular area. Reduces fullness under the chin for a more defined jawline. Typically 2–4 sessions.

J

Jowls

Reduces fullness along the jawline. Combine with chin treatment for overall lower face definition.

U

Upper Arms

Targets small pockets that don't respond to exercise. Works well combined with skin tightening.

B

Bra Fat / Back

Addresses stubborn rolls around the bra line that many women find frustrating and difficult to shift.

F

Flanks

For smaller deposits on the sides. Larger areas may be better suited to cryolipolysis.

I

Inner Knees

A commonly overlooked area where small fat deposits can affect leg contour.

The Process

How It Works

1
Inject

Deoxycholic acid is injected into targeted fat deposits using a fine needle grid pattern.

2
Dissolve

The solution destroys fat cell membranes. Your body naturally processes and eliminates them over 4–6 weeks.

3
Permanent Results

Once destroyed, fat cells cannot regenerate. Results are permanent with stable weight maintenance.

Results Timeline

Fat Dissolving Injections — Chin

Fat dissolving injections permanently destroy fat cells beneath the chin. Your body then naturally clears them over several weeks. Here’s what to expect.

Day 1–3
Initial Response
Swelling beneath the chin is completely normal and expected — it’s a sign the treatment is working. You may also experience tenderness, firmness, or mild bruising.
Week 1–2
Swelling Phase
Swelling typically peaks around days 3–5 and then gradually subsides. The treated area may still feel firm or slightly numb. This is your body’s inflammatory response breaking down the targeted fat cells.
Week 3–4
Settling Down
Swelling has largely resolved. The area begins to feel more natural. Your body’s lymphatic system is actively clearing the destroyed fat cells. Some clients start to notice subtle improvements in their profile.
Week 6–8
Results Emerging
Visible reduction beneath the chin becomes noticeable. Your jawline appears more defined and your profile looks cleaner. This is when we schedule your review to assess whether further treatment is needed.
First changes visible
Week 10–12
Full Results
Optimal results from each session are now visible. Most clients require two to three sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart for their desired outcome. Each session builds on the last.

Long-term
Permanent Reduction
Once destroyed, fat cells beneath the chin don’t return. Your refined profile is permanent, provided you maintain a stable weight.

This treatment works best on localised fat deposits beneath the chin that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Your practitioner will assess your suitability during consultation.

Q & A

Both dissolve fat cells, but they work slightly differently. Lemon Bottle is gentler with less swelling, making it popular for facial areas. Deso/Aqualyx is more established and can be more effective for stubborn areas. We’ll recommend the best option during your consultation.

Most areas require 2-4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the size of the area and how your body responds. We’ll give you a realistic estimate at consultation.

You’ll feel a stinging sensation during injection, which settles quickly. The area will be tender and swollen for several days afterward — this is normal and indicates the treatment is working.

Expect swelling, redness, and tenderness for 3-7 days. Bruising is common. Most clients return to work the same or next day, though visible swelling may last a week. Plan around social events accordingly.

Initial swelling subsides within 1-2 weeks. Fat reduction becomes visible from 4-6 weeks as your body processes the destroyed fat cells. Final results are seen 8-12 weeks after your last session.

They serve different purposes. Fat freezing is ideal for larger areas with pinchable fat. Fat dissolving is better for smaller, precise areas or where fat freezing applicators can’t reach (like under the chin). We often recommend one or the other — or sometimes both — based on your anatomy.
