Fat dissolving treatment is a non-surgical procedure used to reduce small, stubborn fat pockets that do not respond to diet or exercise. It involves injections that break down fat cells, helping improve body shape and contour over time.

How Does Fat Dissolving Work?

The treatment uses special medicines that target and break down fat cells in the treated area. Once these fat cells are destroyed, the body naturally removes them through normal metabolic processes. The treated fat cells do not come back.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Fat dissolving injections are commonly used for:

• Double chin
• Jawline and jowls
• Abdomen and waist
• Love handles (flanks)
• Arms, thighs, and bra bulge (in selected cases)

This treatment is for body shaping, not for weight loss.

What Happens During the Treatment?

The procedure usually takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the area treated. The doctor injects the solution directly into the fat using very fine needles. Mild discomfort, stinging, or pressure may be felt during the injections. Numbing cream or local anesthesia may be used if needed.

After the Treatment

Swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, or a firm feeling in the treated area is common and expected. These effects usually settle within a few days to weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities the same day.

When Will I See Results?

Fat reduction happens gradually over 4 to 8 weeks as the body clears the destroyed fat cells. More than one session may be needed for best results, depending on the area and individual response.

Is the Treatment Safe?

Fat dissolving injections are safe when performed by a trained medical professional. The treatment may not be suitable for everyone, including pregnant or breastfeeding women or those with certain medical conditions. A consultation with the doctor is important to ensure safety and realistic expectations.

Summary

Fat dissolving treatment is an effective, non-surgical option for reducing localized fat and improving body contours with minimal downtime. A medical consultation is required to determine if this treatment is right for you.
