Fat dissolving treatments involve the injection of a specialised solution containing compounds like phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid directly into targeted areas of stubborn fat. These compounds work to break down fat cells, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them over time.
These treatments are particularly effective for addressing localised areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the chin (double chin), abdomen, thighs, and love handles. While results can vary, most patients start to notice a reduction in fat volume within a few weeks of treatment, with optimal results typically achieved after multiple sessions

Fat Dissolving
BEFORE The Treatment
AFTER The Treatment
- Avoid blood thinners for 24 – 48 hours before your treatment to minimise bruising.
- Refrain from strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours before fat-dissolving injections.
- Consider taking a couple of days off to rest after the injections, although it’s not mandatory.
- After receiving injections, it’s normal to experience redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, and itching at the treatment site. These effects typically subside within a day or two, so there’s no need to worry.
- Some patients may also feel slight numbness, which can last for weeks but usually resolves on its own.
- In rare cases, an allergic reaction may cause small lumps. Contact us immediately if you notice this.
- Applying ice and using arnica multiple times a day, along with wearing compression garments, can help reduce swelling and bruising.
- If you’ve had facial herpes, you’re at a higher risk of developing cold sores after injections. Avoid washing the treated area for up to 8 hours afterward and steer clear of activities like swimming, saunas, and tanning beds.
- If you need to go outside, wear SPF protection.
- Refrain from exercising for at least 48 hours post-treatment to ensure its effectiveness.
- Consider adding extra fiber to your diet and avoiding processed carbs for 72 hours, as this may enhance results.
- Limit alcohol consumption, as it can affect fat processing in the liver.
- Stay hydrated by drinking at least 2 litres of water daily for the next few weeks. Keep in mind that it may take up to 3 weeks to start seeing the results of the treatment.
