Injection Lipolysis (Fat Dissolving)

Injection lipolysis uses a series of injections of a fat-dissolving solution to target small, localised pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise — most commonly a double chin, the lower abdomen, the waist or the thighs. LABRA prices each area individually. It is intended for body-contour refinement in specific spots rather than overall weight loss, and a short course of sessions is usually required for a noticeable change.

Injection lipolysis, sometimes called fat-dissolving injections, introduces a solution into the fat layer beneath the skin that disrupts and breaks down fat cells in a defined area. The released fat is then gradually cleared by the body over the following weeks. It is designed for small, stubborn pockets of fat that persist despite a stable weight and regular exercise — typically a double chin, the lower abdomen, the waist (flanks) or the inner and outer thighs — rather than as a method of general weight loss. At LABRA each area is priced separately and a session involves a grid of small injections across the target zone after the skin is cleansed; discomfort is usually manageable. It is normal to have swelling, tenderness, warmth, redness and sometimes bruising in the treated area for several days, which is part of the expected response as the fat is broken down. Because the effect is gradual and cumulative, a short course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart is generally needed for a visible reduction, and results depend on maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle afterwards. The treatment is best suited to adults at or near a stable weight who want to refine a specific area, and it is not a substitute for significant weight loss. Suitability and contraindications are reviewed beforehand, and it is avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
