FAT REDUCTION

Fat-dissolving injections are an effective, non-surgical way to reduce the fat cells that accumulate in problem areas. While diet and exercise can reduce fat in said problem areas, fat-dissolving injections offer a non-invasive solution that targets a specific area and works to dissolve and destroy fat cells permanently.

By administering a series of fat-dissolving injections to the targeted area this non-surgical procedure takes place during a short appointment and does not require any incisions. The medication is a compound widely used to reduce localised fat deposits with mild adverse effects. The medication works by breaking down fats in our system. When injected into fatty areas, it breaks down fat cells. The body then absorbs and expels the fat through the lymphatic system as a waste. The result is a slimming of the treated area, and the destroyed fat cells will not regenerate.
Due to the recent TGA (March 7th 2024) advertising changes, we cannot list the specific medication used to target stubborn pockets of fat. As a clinic that prides itself on education, honesty, compliance patient care and safety, this is a difficult one to navigate for our patients and us.

Advantages of Fat Dissolving Treatment

Non-Surgical Fat Dissolving
Fat dissolving injections are a minimally invasive alternative to liposuction, requiring no surgery or long recovery times. This makes it an attractive option for those who want to reduce localized fat without undergoing a major procedure.

Targeted Fat Reduction
These injections specifically target stubborn fat deposits in areas such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, and love handles. The treatment helps contour the body by breaking down fat cells in those localized areas, providing a more sculpted appearance.

Quick Procedure with Minimal Downtime
Fat dissolving injections typically take around 30-45 minutes per session, making them a convenient option if you have a busy schedule. Most individuals can return to their daily activities shortly after treatment, with minimal downtime.

Natural-Looking Results
The fat dissolving process gradually breaks down fat, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the fat cells. This results in a smoother, more natural-looking contour without the abrupt changes that can sometimes occur with surgical methods.

No Scarring
Since fat dissolving injections don’t require incisions or cuts, there’s no risk of visible scarring, unlike with liposuction or other surgical fat removal procedures.

Customisable Treatment
Treatments can be tailored to each patient’s needs, allowing for precise targeting of fat deposits in specific areas. This makes fat dissolving injections suitable for a wide range of body shapes and treatment goals.

Long-Lasting Results
Once the fat cells are dissolved, they are permanently removed from the body, meaning the results can last long-term as long as a healthy lifestyle is maintained. However, new fat can still develop if diet and exercise are not followed.

Minimal Discomfort
Most of our patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure, often likened to a slight sting or burning sensation. Any discomfort usually resolves shortly after the treatment.

Versatility
Fat dissolving injections are effective for targeting various areas of the body, including the chin (double chin), upper arms, stomach, thighs, and even the knees, making it a versatile solution for different fat concerns.

Lower Risk of Complications
As a non-surgical procedure, fat dissolving injections come with a lower risk of complications compared to invasive fat removal surgeries. Side effects, if any, are typically mild and temporary.

Chin and Jawline: Known as sub-mental fat or a "double chin", this treatment can reduce excess fat, defining the jawline for a more sculpted appearance.
Flanks: Fat-dissolving injections can help reduce bulges on the sides of the waist, enhancing the waistline and achieving a more streamlined look.
Abdomen: Stubborn belly fat can be targeted to achieve a flatter stomach and more defined abdominal contours.
Thighs: Inner and outer thighs can be treated to reduce fat deposits and improve the overall shape and smoothness of the thighs.
Upper Arms: Injections can help reduce fat in the upper arms, improving definition and firmness.
Back: Stubborn pockets on the upper and lower back can be targeted to achieve a more contoured back appearance.
Fat dissolving injections are considered safe when administered by a medical professional. As with all medical procedures, there can be side effects and risks.
You may experience some mild discomfort during the injection process, but this is generally well tolerated. Side effects include bruising, swelling, redness, tenderness and a warmth sensation in the treated area. Potential but uncommon complications: nerve injury, slight difficulty swallowing, skin infection, lumpiness post injection, allergic reaction. Prior to any treatment, you will meet with our team of nurses & cosmetic doctors to ensure you are eligible & safe for treatment.
Fat Dissolving results are typically seen 4 - 6 weeks post-treatment, however, you should allow 10-12 weeks for all fat cells to be removed from the area to see full results.
Swelling is a good indicator that the treatment is working.
Fat dissolving treatment is relevantly quick. Although every client & treatment time varies, we recommend allowing at least 45 minutes. Especially for your initial consult, as we don’t want you to feel rushed!
