Fat dissolving injections, also known as lipolytic injections, destroy fat cells by damaging the fat cell membrane and liquifying the fat in the treatment area.

The destroyed fat cells are then broken down and removed naturally through the body’s lymphatic system .

Initial localised swelling and redness in the treatment area usually resolves within 3 – 4 days. There may be minor bruising, at the injection sites and/ or sensitivity and tenderness around the treated area, that will generally resolve in up to 10-14 days.

A course of at least 2 – 4  treatment sessions is recommended at 4-6 week intervals depending on how much fat there is to treat.
