What are Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections are cosmetic procedures that inject a synthetic substance called deoxycholic acid, which is similar to a natural substance produced by the liver, into the areas of the body that have stubborn fat deposits, such as the chin, abdomen, or thighs. They’re ideal for individuals who want to reduce the appearance of unwanted fat, without the use of surgery or liposuction.
Why Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections are a popular option for individuals who want to achieve a slimmer and more contoured body shape, without the risks or downtime of invasive procedures. Fat dissolving injections can also improve the appearance of the skin, by reducing the sagging or dimpling caused by fat.
The Treatment Procedure
The fat dissolving injection treatment procedure consists of the following steps:
- Consultation: A healthcare provider will assess your body type, medical history, and aesthetic goals, and recommend the best treatment plan for you.
- Preparation: You will be advised to avoid certain medications, supplements, and alcohol for a few days before the treatment, and to arrive with a clean and moisturised body.
- Numbing: A topical anaesthetic cream or a local anaesthetic injection will be applied to your treatment area, to minimise any discomfort during the procedure.
- Fat Dissolving Injections: The provider will use a syringe with a fine needle, to inject small amounts of deoxycholic acid into the targeted fat cells, causing them to rupture and dissolve. The provider will also massage the treated area, to ensure even distribution and smoothness of the injection.
- Aftercare: You will be given detailed instructions on how to care for your body after the treatment, such as avoiding water, sun exposure, and exercise for the first 24 hours, and applying a cooling gel or ice pack regularly. You will also be scheduled for a follow-up appointment to assess the results and recommend further treatments if needed.
Benefits of Fat Dissolving Injections
The fat dissolving injection treatment offers several benefits, such as:
- Improved Appearance: Fat dissolving injections can reduce the amount of fat in the treated area, giving you a more slim and sculpted body shape.
- Minimal Downtime: Fat dissolving injections are non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures, which means you can resume your normal activities right after the treatment, with no scarring or recovery time.
- Natural Results: Fat dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid, which is a natural substance produced by the liver, which means the results are natural and compatible with your body.
Potential Side Effects
While generally safe, fat dissolving injections can cause some side effects, such as:
- Pain and Bleeding: During the procedure, which can be reduced with numbing cream or injection and pressure.
- Swelling and Bruising: After the procedure, which usually subside within a few days.
- Numbness and Tingling: As the nerves heal, which can be relieved with over-the-counter painkillers.
- Infection and Allergic Reactions: Which are rare, but require immediate medical attention.
