Fat dissolving treatment, also known as lipolysis or injection lipolysis, is a non-surgical procedure designed to reduce localised fat deposits and contour the body. This minimally invasive technique involves the injection of a specialised solution into targeted areas to break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated from the body. Fat dissolving treatment is commonly used to address stubborn fat pockets that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as love handles, saddlebags, double chin, and bra fat.
Â
What Are Fat-Dissolving Injections?
Â
Fat dissolving treatment involves the injection of a solution containing active ingredients such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) and deoxycholic acid (DC), which work together to break down fat cells. PC is a natural substance found in cell membranes, while DC is a bile acid that helps emulsify and metabolise fat. When injected into fatty tissue, the solution disrupts the integrity of fat cells, causing them to release their contents and shrink in size. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the damaged fat cells through the lymphatic system.
Â
How does it work?Â
Â
Fat dissolving treatment works by targeting and destroying fat cells in specific areas of the body. The injected solution penetrates the fat tissue and breaks down the fat cell membrane, releasing stored fat into the bloodstream. Once liberated, the fat is metabolised and excreted by the body as waste. The treatment also stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin in the treated area, resulting in improved skin elasticity and a smoother appearance.

Suitability for Fat-Dissolving Injections
Â
Fat-dissolving injections may be suitable for individuals who have struggled to achieve their desired weight despite making healthy lifestyle changes. It’s essential not to view these injections as a quick fix for weight loss, but rather as a tool to help you reach your goals. If you’re close to your ideal body weight but need an extra push to achieve the look you want, lipolytic injections could be an excellent option.
Â
Results and Safety of Fat-Dissolving Injections
Results from fat-dissolving injections typically become visible around eight weeks after the first treatment, with at least two treatments usually needed for noticeable results. While lipolytic injections have minimal associated risks and complications, minor side effects like temporary skin irritation, bruising, and swelling may occur. These side effects typically subside within a few days. It’s important to maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise to optimise and maintain the results of fat-dissolving injections.
Â
Permanent Fat Removal with Fat-Dissolving Injections
Once fat is dissolved and eliminated by the body, it’s permanently removed. However, fat reduction injections won’t prevent weight gain in the future. To maintain your results, it’s essential to continue healthy lifestyle habits. If you’re considering fat-dissolving injections, reach out to us at Harley Medclinic for a personalised consultation.

Benefits:Â
Â
The benefits of fat dissolving treatment include:
Â
Discomfort during fat dissolving treatment is typically minimal and well-tolerated by most patients. Topical anaesthesia may be applied to the treatment area to numb the skin and reduce any discomfort during the procedure.
There is minimal downtime associated with fat dissolving treatment, and patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Some temporary swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection site but usually resolves within a few days.
The number of fat dissolving treatment sessions required depends on individual goals, the amount of fat to be treated, and the desired results. Most patients undergo a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for optimal fat reduction and body contouring.
Fat dissolving treatment sessions typically take 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Results from fat dissolving treatment become noticeable gradually as the body metabolises and eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Significant fat reduction and body contouring improvements can be observed within a few weeks to months following the completion of the treatment series.
The frequency of fat dissolving treatment sessions varies depending on individual goals, treatment area, and response to therapy. A series of treatments may be recommended initially, followed by maintenance sessions as needed to maintain results.
