Injection Lipolysis (Fat-Dissolving Injections)

Injection lipolysis at Arte Clinic dissolves small, stubborn fat deposits using phosphatidylcholine — a naturally derived fat-dissolving compound injected directly into the target area. It is designed for fine-tuning contours where diet has failed: double chin, jowls, knees, inner thighs, and lower abdomen. The quick outpatient sessions need no compression garment and allow an immediate return to work; thicker fat layers are better served by Vaser liposuction.

Injection lipolysis occupies the niche between diet and liposuction: small, well-defined fat deposits that resist lifestyle change but do not justify surgery. The active compound, phosphatidylcholine (derived from lecithin), is injected in a grid pattern directly into the subcutaneous fat, where it disrupts fat-cell membranes; the released fat is then processed and cleared gradually by the body's metabolic and lymphatic pathways. Typical target zones at Arte Clinic include the double chin, jowl line, knees, inner thighs, and the lower abdominal pouch. Because the dissolving and clearance process is gradual, treatment is delivered as a series: sessions are spaced 14–21 days apart, and the number required depends on the volume of the deposit — commonly two to four for small areas. The appeal is convenience. Each session is quick and performed on an outpatient basis; expect transient swelling, warmth, tenderness, and possible bruising at the injection sites for a few days — a sign of the inflammatory clearance process at work. No compression garment is required and work can resume immediately. The clinic is direct about limits: injection lipolysis suits thinner fat deposits, while thicker layers respond far better to Vaser or SlimLipo liposuction, both available in-house — so the consultation recommendation is not biased toward the injectable option. Results are gradual over weeks and lasting at a stable weight.
