The Treatment
What are fat dissolving injections?
Fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment designed to break down stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise. The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down fat.
When injected into a targeted area, it disrupts the membranes of the fat cells, causing them to release their contents. Your body then processes and removes these naturally over the following weeks, leaving a smoother, more contoured result.
Because the treated fat cells are destroyed and cannot regenerate, the results are long-lasting, as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Active Ingredient
Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile acid that emulsifies and breaks down fat cells for gradual, natural removal by the body.
How It’s Given
A series of small injections using fine needles directly into the targeted area. The procedure is quick and generally well tolerated.
Results Timeline
Noticeable results typically appear within a few weeks, with optimal contouring visible after a short course of treatments.
Not a Weight-Loss Tool
A body-contouring treatment for specific stubborn areas, best suited to those already close to their ideal weight.

The Process
Your treatment journey
01
Consultation
A thorough consultation to assess the areas of concern, confirm your suitability, and set realistic expectations for your results.
02
Treatment
Deoxycholic acid is injected into the targeted areas using fine needles. The procedure is quick and generally comfortable.
03
Recovery
Mild swelling, redness, or firmness may occur but usually settles within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities straight away.
04

Your body gradually removes the treated fat over the following weeks. A short course of sessions delivers the best contouring results.
Suitability
Is this treatment right for you?
Fat dissolving injections are best suited to healthy adults who are close to their ideal weight but have specific, stubborn areas they would like to refine.
Good to Know
Fat dissolving injections are a body-contouring treatment, not a weight-loss solution. They work best on small, defined areas rather than large volumes of fat.
Suitability is always confirmed during your consultation, where your full medical history is reviewed. The treatment may not be appropriate for everyone, including those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
