Fat dissolving treatments are fantastic for reducing stubborn pockets of fat that do not respond to diet and exercise alone. This treatment can be administered in areas such as tummy, bra pouches, inner thighs, thigh/buttock creases and chin. If you are at or near your healthy weight and want to streamline your silhouette then fat dissolving could be a good solution for you.
Initially treatment is relatively pain free as solutions are injected with Lidocaine to numb the area. As the aim of the treatment is to stimulate the inflammatory response in your body, you may experience a little swelling and redness in the treated area for a few days after treatment and some clients report feelings of itchiness. Compression using garments such as spanx can help reduce this reaction as the solution takes effect.
Fat dissolving treatments do actually have a small tightening effect on the skin and so you should not experience skin laxity after treatment. However, if skin is already showing signs of laxity before treatment this treatment will not tightening everything. This will be discussed at your consulation.
For small areas such as jawline 1-2 treatments is usually all that is required In larger areas such as abdomen, buttocks etc... 4-6 treatments may be required to give the best result.
Generally you will notice results within a few weeks, although full treatment results require 4-6 six weeks. This is why we leave this time between treatments.
As fat dissolving injections literally melt away fat cells, those cells no longer exist - so treatment is therefore deemed permanent. However, it should be noted that if body weight increases over time, other fat cells will store that excess fat in other areas.
