Fat Dissolving Injections

Fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical, safe and effective medical aesthetic treatment designed to reduce localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. This is not a weight loss or obesity treatment, but a targeted body contouring solution. Using substances like deoxycholic acid, these injections break down the membrane of fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.

The active ingredient destroys the membrane of fat cells. Once eliminated, they do not regenerate and the fat is expelled through the lymphatic system. The treatment is progressive and usually requires several sessions for natural and harmonious results.
