Fat-Dissolving Injections

The fat-dissolving injection, also known as injectable lipolysis, is a non-invasive treatment designed to target stubborn fat deposits. It works by injecting a specialized solution into the fat cells, which gradually breaks down the fat, allowing the body to eliminate it naturally. This method is effective for contouring areas like the double chin, abdomen, and thighs.

Typically, 2-4 sessions of fat-dissolving injections are required to achieve optimal results. The treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow the body time to naturally eliminate the fat. You may begin to notice visible results within 3-4 weeks after the first treatment.

The fat-dissolving injection is generally well-tolerated and minimally uncomfortable. The procedure is quick, and most patients experience only mild discomfort during the injection. There is typically no need for local anesthesia, as the pain is minimal.

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the treatment site is common after a fat-dissolving injection. These side effects typically subside within a few days. Rarely, more severe side effects such as infection or allergic reaction may occur, but they are uncommon.

The results of fat-dissolving injections are permanent, as the fat cells are eliminated and do not regenerate. However, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is important to prevent the formation of new fat deposits.

Yes, the fat-dissolving injection is highly effective in reducing stubborn fat under the chin, including double chin areas. It contours the area and enhances facial definition without the need for surgery.

You can resume most normal activities immediately after the treatment, as the procedure requires no downtime. However, it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or heat exposure for the first few days after the injection.
