Injection Lipolysis (Fat Dissolving)

Injection lipolysis dissolves stubborn pockets of fat with a fine injection that breaks down fat cells, which the body then clears naturally. At Dermaestet it is offered for the double chin, post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss changes, smaller abdominal bulges and other localised fat anywhere on the body or face. It is a gentle, minimally invasive alternative to liposuction with rapid recovery and no scarring, and a short course is usually needed for the fullest result.

Injection lipolysis is a non-surgical fat-reduction treatment that targets small, stubborn deposits of fat that resist diet and exercise. A fat-dissolving solution is injected with a fine needle directly into the fatty layer, where it disrupts the membranes of the fat cells; the released fat and cell debris are then gradually metabolised and removed by the body over the following weeks. At Dermaestet it is described as an effective solution that breaks down unwanted fat anywhere on the body and even the face, well suited to a double chin, the loose, fatty changes that follow significant weight loss or childbirth, and minor surplus fat on areas such as the abdomen — a gentle method with quick recovery and no scars or lengthy convalescence. The procedure is short — the clinic notes the treatment takes only a few minutes — and is minimally invasive: a thin needle delivers the solution across the target area. Afterward there is typically some swelling, tenderness and occasionally bruising in the treated zone for several days as the fat breaks down, which is a normal part of the process; the area then refines progressively. Because each session reduces fat gradually, a short course of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is usually needed for a visible, even result, and the body's clearance of the fat is supported by good hydration and activity. Injection lipolysis suits adults with localised, modest fat pockets — especially a double chin or small bulges — who want to avoid surgery; it is not a weight-loss treatment or a substitute for liposuction where fat is substantial. It is avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding and in certain medical conditions, and suitability is confirmed at the free-if-you-proceed consultation.
