Fat dissolving
Targeted treatment for small, localised areas of stubborn fat, commonly under the chin, and in selected areas of the body. Designed to support facial or body contouring, this treatment is not a weight-loss solution. Suitability depends on the treatment area and an individual assessment.
What it does, and what it does not
Fat-dissolving injections are designed to target localised fat deposits in specific areas. The treatment works by disrupting fat cells in the treated area, which are then gradually processed by the body.
This is a targeted contouring treatment, not a weight-loss solution. It is best suited to carefully selected areas following an individual assessment.
Areas treated
- Under the chin
- Lower cheeks for facial contouring, where clinically appropriate
- Upper arms
- Hips and love handles
- Thighs
- Lower abdomen
Swelling, tenderness and bruising may occur after treatment. Swelling can be particularly noticeable under the chin and may last several days or longer. Plan your appointment with recovery time in mind, especially if you have an upcoming event. Results and suitability vary depending on the treatment area, the product used and individual factors.

Questions
Is this a weight-loss treatment?
No. Fat-dissolving injections are designed to target localised fat deposits in specific areas, rather than overall weight loss.
How much swelling should I expect?
Some swelling is expected after treatment, particularly under the chin. It is usually more noticeable during the first few days, and the area may take longer to settle fully.
Will the fat come back?
Treated fat cells are broken down and cleared by the body. However, remaining fat cells can still increase in size with weight gain, which may affect your results over time.
Would HIFU be better for my double chin?
It depends on the cause. Fat-dissolving injections target localised fat, while HIFU is primarily used to improve skin firmness. A consultation can help determine the most suitable option for you.
