Fat dissolve treatments, often referred to as lipolysis injections or fat-dissolving injections, are a non-surgical aesthetic procedure designed to target and eliminate stubborn fat pockets. Using an injectable solution, commonly containing deoxycholic acid, these treatments work by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally flushed out by the body. Popular areas for fat-dissolving treatments include the chin (for a more defined jawline), abdomen, thighs, and arms.

The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring no incisions or general anesthesia, and sessions typically take 30–60 minutes. Results usually become noticeable after a few weeks, with optimal effects achieved after 2–4 treatments, depending on the area and the amount of fat being targeted. Patients may experience temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, but these side effects generally resolve within days.

Fat-dissolving injections are ideal for individuals looking to refine specific areas rather than achieve significant weight loss. They offer a safe, effective, and convenient alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction for those seeking targeted body contouring. Consultation with a qualified practitioner ensures that the treatment plan is tailored to individual goals and needs.
