Fat Dissolving Injections
Are you frustrated by stubborn fat deposits that just won't budge despite your best efforts? Hormones, genetics, and other factors can make it difficult to achieve your desired results with diet and exercise alone. That's where Fat Dissolving Injections come in. These advanced cosmetic treatments use deoxycholic acid injections to break down and dissolve fat cells, offering a targeted solution for areas like the chin, abdomen, and thighs.
Unlike liposuction, which is an invasive and often costly surgical procedure with a lengthy recovery time, Fat Dissolving Injections provide a minimally invasive alternative with far less downtime. They’re a great option for those looking to refine their body contours without undergoing surgery.

Lipodissolve benefits:
-
Targeted Fat Reduction
Lipodissolve is ideal for treating specific areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, and flanks.
-
Non-Surgical
Unlike liposuction, Lipodissolve is a non-invasive procedure that doesn't require surgery, anesthesia, or extensive recovery time.
-
Minimal Downtime
Patients can typically return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure, with only minor side effects like swelling or bruising.
-
Natural-Looking Results
The fat reduction process occurs gradually, leading to a more natural-looking contouring effect as the body eliminates the broken-down fat cells.
-
Permanent Results
Once the fat cells are destroyed and removed by the body, they do not regenerate, offering long-lasting results as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
-
Versatility
It can be used on various parts of the body, making it versatile for targeting different problem areas.
-
Treatment Overview
Lipodissolve is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to reduce localized fat deposits in areas like the chin, abdomen, thighs, and flanks. It is an excellent option for those who are near their ideal body weight but struggle with stubborn fat that doesn't respond to diet and exercise. The treatment uses a series of microinjections containing a solution of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid, substances that naturally occur in the body and aid in the breakdown and absorption of fat.
-
What to Expect
Before the procedure, a consultation with a qualified practitioner will be conducted to assess your suitability for the treatment and identify the areas to be treated. On the day of the procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned and numbed with a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
During the procedure, the practitioner will inject the fat-dissolving solution directly into the targeted fat deposits. The number of injections and sessions required will depend on the size of the treatment area and the amount of fat to be reduced. The entire session typically lasts between 20 to 60 minutes.
-
How it Works
The injected solution breaks down the fat cell membranes in the targeted area, causing the fat cells to dissolve. The body then naturally metabolizes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells over several weeks. Most patients start to see results after a few sessions, with the full effect becoming visible after several weeks or months as the body continues to process the treated fat cells.
-
Aftercare and Recovery
Post-treatment, patients may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or redness in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few days. There is minimal downtime, and most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. Multiple sessions are often required to achieve optimal results, depending on the individual's response and the area being treated.
Lipodissolve offers a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative to traditional fat reduction methods, with long-lasting results as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained.

The treatment is suitable for adults that are experiencing excess fat. It is essential to consult with one of our knowledgeable physicians to determine if deoxycholic acid injections are right for you. -
How Do Deoxycholic Acid Injections Work?
Deoxycholic acid is a naturally-occurring molecule injected into the skin to break down fat. Unwanted fat cells are targeted during the treatment. An accumulation of fat under the chin and other regions can build up for multiple reasons, such as weight fluctuations, aging and genetics.
Deoxycholic acid injections are an excellent, non-surgical alternative to remove excess fat without going under the knife. The deoxycholic fat-dissolving injection, Lipodissolve/Belkyra®, is administered by your injector physician through a small syringe. The procedure also involves a lot less downtime.
Our modern and alternative approach to liposuction through deoxycholic acid injections is that they can yield a mild skin-tightening effect with a boost in collagen production, which declines as we age. -
What Areas Can Be Treated With Deoxycholic Acid Injections?
The Lipodissolve is commonly used for the chin and neck area to address extra fat deposits or the desire to achieve a contoured look.
The other areas that can be treated include: Under the chin (“double chin”), Abdomen, Flanks (“love handles”), Hips, Inner Thighs, Above the Knee -
Are Deoxycholic Acid Injections Safe?
