Injection Lipolysis (Fat-Dissolving)

Injection lipolysis uses a series of small injections of a fat-dissolving solution to break down stubborn, localised pockets of fat — such as a double chin, jowl area or small bulges — that resist diet and exercise. At MM Clinic the treatment is performed by a physician as a course, with several weeks between sessions to allow the area to settle. It suits defined, pinchable fat deposits rather than general weight loss.

Injection lipolysis is a non-surgical approach to small, persistent fat deposits in which a solution is injected directly into the targeted fat with a fine needle. The solution is intended to disrupt the membranes of fat cells in the treated pocket, after which the body gradually clears the released contents over the following weeks. It is best thought of as a way to refine a specific, pinchable area — a submental (double-chin) fullness, jowls, bra-line or small abdominal and flank bulges — rather than as a method of overall weight loss. At MM Clinic the area is assessed and marked, and a session takes around twenty to thirty minutes. It is normal to have swelling, tenderness, firmness and sometimes bruising in the treated area for several days, which is part of the expected response. Because the effect is cumulative, results are associated with a course of treatments — the clinic prices a six-session package — spaced a few weeks apart, with the contour continuing to refine between visits. Realistic expectations are important: results vary between individuals and maintaining a stable weight helps preserve them. The physician reviews suitability, the likely number of sessions and any contraindications at consultation; the treatment is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
