Lipolysis Treatment

Injectable fat dissolution for targeted contouring

Injection lipolysis uses solutions containing deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine to disrupt and permanently destroy fat cell membranes in targeted areas, particularly the submental double chin, jowls and small body deposits.

The solution is injected in a grid pattern into the targeted fat deposit. Treated cells release their contents and are eliminated by the body's lymphatic system over 4–8 weeks. Multiple sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart typically achieve optimal results.

Key Benefits

  • Permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area
  • Effective for double chin, jowls and small body areas
  • No incisions or general anaesthesia required
  • Can be combined with skin-tightening treatments

Is This Treatment Right For You?

  • Adults with a submental double chin resistant to exercise
  • Patients with small, discrete fat deposits
  • Those seeking an alternative to surgical liposuction for small areas

Frequently Asked Questions

Is injection lipolysis approved?

Deoxycholic acid (Kybella/Belkyra) is FDA-approved for submental fat; other formulations are used off-label in many countries.

Will the fat come back?

Destroyed fat cells cannot regenerate; however, significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells in the area to enlarge.
