What Are
Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections, also known as lipolysis injections, are a non-surgical method for removing unwanted fat. These injections contain a substance, such as deoxycholic acid, that breaks down fat cells in the targeted area.
The broken-down fat is then eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. Fat dissolving injections are typically used to reduce fat in small, targeted areas such as the chin, thighs, and stomach.
HOW DO
FAT DISSOLVING Injections Work?
Fat dissolving injections work by introducing a substance, such as deoxycholic acid, into the targeted area of fat. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally-occurring substance found in the body that helps to break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into an area of unwanted fat, it destroys the cell membrane of fat cells, causing the contents of the cells to be released into the bloodstream and then eliminated by the body's natural processes.
After the injections, the body's immune system will clean the area, removing the fat cells and the dissolved fat. The process takes several weeks and multiple sessions to achieve optimal results, and the results are permanent as long as the patient maintains a stable weight.

Deoxycholic acid
Deoxycholic acid is a naturally-occurring substance found in the body that helps to break down and absorb dietary fat. It is a bile acid, which means that it is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. When food enters the small intestine, the gallbladder releases bile acids, including deoxycholic acid, into the intestine to help digest and absorb fats.
Deoxycholic acid has been used as an injectable treatment for reducing the appearance of submental fullness, sometimes referred to as a "double chin." It's a FDA-approved treatment option for this indication.
Should You Get
Fat Dissolving Injections?
As we age, it can become increasingly difficult to maintain a lean and toned appearance, leading to the formation of small pockets of unwanted fat in various areas of the body such as the stomach, thighs or arms. These pockets of fat can be resistant to diet and exercise.
Fat dissolving injections, such as deoxycholic acid, can be used to reduce the appearance of targeted areas of unwanted fat. The procedure involves injecting a controlled solution of deoxycholic acid into the targeted fat pocket, which causes the cell membrane of the fat cells to be destroyed. The contents of the cells are then released into the bloodstream and eliminated by the body's natural processes.
The procedure typically takes around 15-20 minutes and can be done in the comfort of a clinic or doctor's office. The results can be seen within a few weeks and can last up to 6 months. With repeated treatments, the results may tend to last longer. It's important to note that fat dissolving injections are not a substitute for weight loss and healthy eating, they are intended to remove small, targeted areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. It's also important to have realistic expectations and consult with a qualified healthcare professional to evaluate if you are a good candidate for the treatment.
