Fat Dissolving Injections
Deoxycholic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. When injected into true fat deposits, it permanently destroys fat cells so they can no longer store fat.
FAQs
What areas can be dissolved?
The most common area treated is the submental fat (double chin), which is usually quite stubborn to sculpt naturally. Other “off-label” uses include: the underarms, back, lower abdomen, love handles and thighs. Book a consultation to see if it’s right for you!
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required depends on the volume of pinch-able fat present. Most people see a 20% (or 0.5cm) improvement after 1 session. Anywhere from 2-6 sessions, 6-8 weeks apart may be needed for desirable results. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help prevent new fat cells from forming.
What are the side effects?
Though considered low risk for individuals in good health, not enough research has been conducted in the presence of any serious medical conditions. The treatment itself is painless but moderate swelling is expected for 1-2 weeks. Bruising is also possible at injection sites and the feeling of numbness in the area can last for up to 8 weeks.
