A non-surgical way to reduce small, stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet or exercise. Best for areas that are otherwise in good shape but hold a little more than you would like.
Fat dissolving uses a series of small injections to gradually break down fat cells in a targeted area. The most common areas I treat are under the chin, the bra-line, and the lower abdomen. Once the fat cells are broken down, the body clears them naturally over the following weeks.
This is not a weight-loss treatment, and it is not a replacement for one. It works best on a defined pocket of fat in someone who is already close to where they want to be. During your consultation I will tell you honestly whether you are a good candidate, or whether something else would serve you better.
Most areas need more than one session, usually spaced four to six weeks apart. The number depends on the area, the volume of fat, and how your body responds. I assess this in person rather than promising a fixed number up front.
Purpose
Reduce a defined pocket of fat in a specific area without surgery or downtime from an operation.
Results
Gradual. Changes appear over several weeks as the body clears the treated fat. Results build across the series.
Downtime
Swelling, tenderness, and sometimes firmness in the treated area for several days to a couple of weeks. This is expected and part of how the treatment works.
