Fat Dissolving Injections
Non-surgical reduction of small fat pockets
Fat dissolving injections use a deoxycholic acid-based solution to break down fat cell membranes in small, targeted areas — commonly the chin, jawline or small body pockets — as a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
This treatment suits smaller, well-defined fat deposits rather than broad areas of excess fat, and results build gradually over a series of sessions rather than appearing immediately.
Key Benefits
- Non-surgical fat reduction with no incisions
- Effective for stubborn small areas like the chin
- Gradual, natural-looking results
- No downtime beyond temporary swelling
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Patients with small, localised fat pockets (e.g. double chin)
- Those wanting to avoid surgery for minor contouring
- Patients close to their target weight with focal fat concerns
What to Expect
Area Mapping
The target area is measured and marked for even injection distribution.
Injection
Solution is injected in a grid pattern across the fat pocket.
Repeat Sessions
Most protocols involve 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Gradual Results
Fat cells are broken down and cleared naturally by the body over following weeks.
Recovery & Aftercare
Swelling, firmness and mild bruising in the treated area are common for several days to a couple of weeks after each session.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients need 2-4 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, depending on the size of the area treated.
Is this the same as liposuction?
No — it's a non-surgical injectable treatment best suited to smaller fat pockets, not a replacement for liposuction on larger areas.
When will I see results?
Initial changes are often visible within a few weeks, with full results developing over 2-3 months after the final session.
