What is Fat Dissolving?

Fat dissolving works by injecting Phosphatidylcholine in to the fatty deposits under the skin, this hydrolyses the wall of the fat cells and therefore makes it release it’s lipid content within. This then breaks down the fat cells and lets them be removed from the body via natural processes.

The number of treatments required varies depending on the size of the fatty deposit.

Typically 1-3 treatments for small areas, such as the jowls and under the chin, and 2-8 treatments for larger areas such as the thighs.

Treatments are spaced at 4 weekly intervals. Your result will show 6 weeks after your final treatment which is when you will have a complimentary review with your practitioner.

Immediately after treatment you may appear red and swollen with some bruising on the treated area.

It works by causing an inflammatory reaction in the fat cells which can result in swelling for 3-5 days. Therefore, if you intend to have a facial treatment, e.g. double chin where the swelling may be obvious, it is recommended to book in at a time when you have no big social events.
