Fat Dissolving Treatments

What is Fat Dissolving?

Fat dissolving injections are an innovative non-surgical treatment that can help reduce stubborn fat deposits in specific areas of your body. The treatment uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down dietary fat, to target and eliminate fat cells in treated areas. When injected into the treatment area, this product breaks down fat cells, resulting in more defined contours and improved profile in the treated regions.

Treatment Areas

We offer fat dissolving treatments for multiple areas:

Double Chin

Fullness under the chin or a ‘double chin’ is a common concern for both men and women. This condition can make you feel like you look older or heavier than you actually are. It can be caused by:

  • Aging – naturally developing as you age
  • Genetics – it may be part of your DNA
  • Weight changes
  • Resistant to diet and exercise

Arms

Stubborn fat deposits on the arms can be frustrating, especially in the upper arm area. This treatment can help contour and slim the arms when exercise alone isn’t achieving your desired results.

Belly

The abdominal area is one of the most common areas where fat can be difficult to eliminate through lifestyle changes alone. Fat dissolving treatments can target specific areas of the belly to help achieve a more contoured appearance.

The Treatment Process

What to Expect

  • Treatments are performed in our clinic by our experienced Cosmetic Doctor
  • Each session takes approximately 30 minutes
  • Treatment is customised to your individual anatomy and circumstances
  • A series of precise injections are administered to the target area
  • This is a non-surgical procedure

Treatment Plan

Most clients see visible improvements after 2-4 treatments, though some may require up to 6 sessions for optimal results. Treatments are typically administered 8 weeks apart.

As this is a prescription-only treatment, you will be assessed by our Cosmetic Doctor to determine your suitability and create a personalised treatment plan.

Your comfort during treatment is our priority. We implement several measures to ensure a comfortable experience:

  • Application of ice/cold packs
