Quick answer

What is a body fat-dissolving injection?

A body fat-dissolving injection is a non-surgical treatment that injects a fat-reducing solution into stubborn fat deposits. The solution disrupts fat cells, which the body then gradually clears, reducing localised bulges on areas such as the upper arms, abdomen, flanks, back and thighs over several weeks. It is a contouring treatment, not a weight-loss method.

Best results come with several sessions a few weeks apart and a stable weight. The doctor marks the treatment area and spaces injections evenly for a smooth outcome.

FAQ

Body fat-dissolving injection questions we hear most

Can’t find your answer? Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp.

How many sessions do I need?

Most areas need several sessions spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the amount of fat.

Are the results permanent?

Treated fat cells do not return, but remaining fat cells can grow if you gain weight, so a stable weight helps maintain the result.

Does it hurt?

You may feel stinging or burning during injection and soreness or swelling for a few days afterwards.

Can I fly after treatment?

Yes, most people can travel the next day. Wear loose clothing as the area may be swollen and tender.

Is it a weight-loss treatment?

No. It reshapes specific areas. See our main fat dissolving injections page for details.
