Fat-dissolving injections

Fat-dissolving injections, such as Aqualyx and Celluform, work through a process known as lipolysis. Lipolysis involves the breakdown and elimination of fat cells in specific areas of the body.

Aqualyx and Celluform are injectable solutions that contain active ingredients, typically a form of deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine. These substances occur naturally in the body and assist in breaking down and absorbing dietary fats.

When injected into targeted areas of stubborn fat- such as the chin, jowls, abdomen, thighs or hips- these solutions disrupt the integrity of the fat cells. This process leads to the release of fatty acids and triggers an inflammatory response. 

Over time, the body’s natural metabolism processes the released fatty acids, gradually eliminating them through the lymphatic system. The treated fat cells are effectively destroyed and removed.

These injections are considered among the best fat dissolving injections for tackling areas resistant to diet and exercise, offering subtle yet visible sculpting.

The treatment involves a series of injections during a session, and the number of sessions required varies depending on individual needs and goals. Results become more noticeable as the body metabolises the treated fat cells, resulting in a slimmer and more contoured appearance in the targeted area. Fat dissolving injections for the stomach are especially popular among patients looking to contour this common area of concern without surgery. 

It’s important to understand that fat-dissolving injections are not intended as a replacement for weight loss or a solution for obesity. They are most effective for reducing localized pockets of stubborn fat that have not responded to diet and exercise. 

Before undergoing treatment, it is essential to have a consultation with me. I will assess your suitability, discuss potential risks and benefits, and create a personalised skin treatment plan using only the best fat dissolving injections available.
