What is Fat Dissolve?

​

Fat Dissolve is a gel-based aqueous solution made from deoxycholate family acids. It is an all-natural plant-based substance which has been developed to treat stubborn pockets of fat underneath the surface of the skin in the subcutaneous layer (the fatty layer) across many areas of the body including double chins, bingo wings, thighs, hips, knees and the abdomen. 

The human body has fatty deposits in areas like the abdomen and thighs which supply energy in times of need. However, due to a genetic predisposition, some fatty deposits cannot be broken down by diet and exercise alone, and the weight cannot be shifted leaving small sections and rolls of unsightly fat in particular areas across the body.

​

Areas start from £45

On average small areas require 2-4 sessions. 

On average large areas required 3-8 sessions.

How does Fat Dissolve work?

​

It works by causing the dissolution of fat cells. The injections cause the fat cells to become unstable and breakdown the subcutaneous fat over a month and in most cases starts to work straight away once the Aqualyx is injected. Once broken down the body’s immune system eliminates the fatty acids via the lymphatic system and liver allowing the body to expel and release the fatty acids naturally.

Unlike liposuction, this treatment minimally invasive and will also cause skin tightening in the area, meaning you are less likely to end up with loose skin and more likely to feel more contoured and toned as a result.

​

A consultation is needed to assess the area and advise a treatment plan and cost prior to any treatment.

​

After a thorough consultation and discussion and all required paper work is completed I will clean the area and a grid-like area will be marked out on the skin with a pen. The Fat Dissolve injections will then be administered into the fat layer of the skin. The number of doses is dependent on the individual and particular treatment area.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

These include any painkiller medication that contains Aspirin or Ibuprofen (not directly prescribed by your doctor) and Vitamin supplements including; St. John’s Wort, Fish oils, Garlic, Gingko Biloba, Vitamins A-E. Also, refrain from drinking alcohol 2 days before and 2 days after treatment for the same reasons. 

To help minimise bruising and swelling as quickly as possible take Arnica tablets 5 days prior to treatment and you can also apply Arnica cream or gel before bedtime to reduce swelling after treatment.
