Fat dissolving treatment is a viable option for those seeking to reduce stubborn fat deposits in challenging areas like the chin, back, love handles, stomach, and thighs. The body's bile plays a crucial role in breaking down fats, and when deoxycholic acid is injected subcutaneously, it disrupts the cell membranes of fat cells, causing the fat to leak out and naturally flush out of the body over time.

Deoxycholic acid has been approved by the FDA for treating submental fat and reducing facial fullness or convexity.

In the UK, fat dissolving treatment is CE-approved, meeting health and safety standards in the UK and European Union. It is the first pharmacological agent available for submental fat reduction, presenting a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures, although it should not be viewed as a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.

Indeed! Fat dissolving treatment could be the solution. It's perfect if you have an upcoming event and want to visibly reduce fat in stubborn areas quickly. Whether you're a bride-to-be, part of a wedding party, struggling to see results from working out or noticing love handles/bulges when tucking in your pants, this treatment could work for you.

Fat dissolving treatment is based on basic science and the results are clear. After being injected, the solution mixes with fat cells and allows the fat inside to leak out. To maintain the fat loss, you'll need to lead a healthy lifestyle.

The ultimate number of treatments required depends on how much body sculpting you're aiming for. Whether you're a man or woman of any size, this could be the solution to hiding your belly or getting the shape you want.

Typically, the cost per area ranges from £150 to £200.

You can take advantage of increasing discounts as treatment areas increase, and for group bookings of 3 or more sessions, up to 20% off! It's worth noting that prices may change after consultation, as larger body areas may require more medication.

Advanced group bookings are non-refundable and can be redeemed within 12 months or after pregnancy or breastfeeding. Lastly, we only accept group bookings on the day of treatment to ensure that additional treatments are suitable.

The fat dissolving treatment is a specially crafted procedure designed to tackle subcutaneous fat layers that diet and exercise are unable to shift. Although it poses no risk to one's health, subcutaneous fat can be displeasing to the eye, impinging on one's appearance negatively.

Visceral fat, on the other hand, is concealed within the body's organs and can lead to a range of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. The ultra-safe injection procedure only punctures the skin with a very tiny needle and exclusively targets subcutaneous fat, sparing surrounding areas any harm.

Fat dissolving treatment is a non-invasive, effective alternative for those who want to get rid of stubborn fat. This treatment can help reset your body when diet and exercise aren't enough. However, it's important to stick to a strict regimen to maintain your results. Be aware that any new fat that accumulates is from food you consume after the procedure.

In summary, Fat dissolving treatment can:

- Remove stubborn fat

- Eliminate cellulite and fatty deposits

It's important to determine if you're eligible for a treatment, but sometimes it can be difficult to do so.

Fortunately, you can use the pinch test to find out. If you can pinch an inch or more of subcutaneous fat, then fat dissolving treatment could potentially be effective.

While it's normal to have an inch or two of tummy fat when sitting, excessive stomach fat can increase the risk of health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Indeed!

Fat dissolving treatments operate by reducing localised fat and internally tightening your skin.

Unwanted bulges melt away leaving you with smoother skin.

Moreover, outcomes are authentic and enduring, making it an excellent solution.

The primary difference between fat dissolving treatments and liposuction is that fat-dissolving treatments empties the contents of your fat cells, whereas liposuction physically removes the cells.

With fat-dissolving treatments, although it empties the fat, the cells remain. If you re-gain weight, these same fat cells will once again refill with fat from your food.

On the contrary as liposuction physically removes the fat cells, if you gain weight after the procedure, you gain fat in other areas of your body where the fat cells were not removed. For instance, someone who had a stomach liposuction may gain weight in their knees or other predisposed areas of the body's choosing.

Through the treatment, you can swiftly get rid of stubborn fat cells. Both men and women can opt for fat dissolving treatments to target localised fat deposits. Such deposits commonly occur in areas like in your

• double chin

• upper arms/ bingo wings

• lower abdomen

• upper abdomen

• love handles/ saddle bags

• hips

• knees

• inner thighs

• back fat

• bra bulge

On a scale of 1 to 10, the pain from fat dissolving treatment ranks between 1 and 3 or less, owing to its injection with an anaesthetic, Lidocaine. Numbing cream like Emla® cream could be bought beforehand and applied to the areas of treatment to avert any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Furthermore, fat dissolving treatment, which lasts 30 minutes or shorter, is a minimally invasive method that requires no time off work and has very mild side effects, typically resolved within a couple of days. Many patients return to work immediately after the injection, with little or no tenderness or bruising.

The majority of patients experience significant improvement after their first session of treatment. Follow-up sessions can be scheduled at least 4 weeks after your last treatment, with the most notable results achieved through multiple treatments spaced in this way. The number of necessary sessions is dependent on the size of the treatment area and desired outcome, typically consisting of a course of 2-3 sessions for small areas, or 2-8 sessions for larger areas. A 4-6 week interval between each session is recommended.

In most cases, you'll start noticing the results of your fat dissolving treatment around 4 weeks after the treatment. Though, it's important to keep in mind that peak results can take 6-8 weeks.

Results are permanent and quick because once fat dissolving treatment solution is in contact with your fat cells, it starts dissolving it. By following a healthy lifestyle, the fat will not return to the area.

You can have as many top ups as you like. However, if an unhealthy lifestyle is maintained, the fat from food consumed will go back to the fat cells which will expand again.

The number of treatments required to target a specific area depends on the amount of fat present and your body's response to fat dissolving treatment. Some individuals experience significant improvement after one or two treatments, while the duration of each treatment session varies according to the size and number of areas being targeted. The typical procedure duration for the chin is less than 10 minutes, whereas addressing the lower/upper belly, and love handles lasts an average of 30 minutes.

In summary, treatment times range from 10 to 60 minutes depending on the number of areas being targeted and patients typically require two to eight treatments spaced three to four weeks apart. Fat pockets under the neck and chin may require 1-3 treatments, while those on the hips and thighs may require up to 8 treatments.

The treatment is virtually painless as your fat tissues lack sensitivity. Moreover fat dissolving treatment is injected together with an additional local anaesthetic.

A very thin needle is used to inject the solution directly into the subcutaneous fat tissue only.

After treatment the area may be red or swollen, minor bruising might develop and subside after a couple of days.

If you eat healthily and/or exercise and have stubborn areas of fat that won’t go away, then yes, you’re a great candidate for fat dissolving treatment. It is important to understand that fat dissolving treatment is that it is not a weight loss treatment or solution. It is a “body contouring” treatment. This means that if you have a lot of weight to lose, fat dissolving treatment will not help you lose the weight but instead help you get rid of unwanted fat in treated areas leaving you with the body shape you desire.

The best candidates for fat dissolving treatments are those who are already leading a healthy lifestyle and maintaining their weight through regular exercise and a balanced diet. This is because it works as a spot reducing treatment for pockets of fat, and not as an overall fat loss treatment or weight loss solution.

Once you are at your desired weight, you’ll be able to discern whether or not there are any more stubborn areas of fat that you want to treat with fat dissolving treatment.

Fat dissolving treatment is not recommended if you are suffering from acute or chronic skin diseases e.g. as psoriasis, acne in the area you want to treat.

For safety reasons, patients are excluded from fat dissolving treatment if they have a medical history that includes:

• anaphylactic reactions

• severe allergies

• severe illnesses, autoimmune diseases

• diabetes

• take blood thinning medication, or are predisposed to bleeding or have a bleeding disorder

• women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are excluded from any treatment

Ensuring an adequate water intake is essential, especially to begin the process of flushing out dissolved fats. As fluid release increases with water intake, it's a recommended part of one's routine.

It's worth avoiding anti-inflammatory drugs such as Aspirin, Ibuprofen and Naproxen. Instead, paracetamol can be taken as indicated on the box to alleviate discomfort.

Your skin may be slightly red, raised or swollen straight after treatment. Bruising or swelling can occur which will subside within a few hours to a few days depening on how easily you heal.

• Drink lots of water. At least 2 litres a day to help your body drain out your dissolving fat.

• Massage the area at least once daily to help break down fat as it is dissolving. Think about your fat as butter melting on a warm pan. The higher the heat (in this case you massaging your treated area), the faster the butter melts on the pan. The area will feel tender within the first few days to weeks depending on your body but persist with gentle circular motions for at least 1-2 weeks after the procedure.

• Pressure garments such as regular spanx or body shaping underwear will improve your results especially if worn for 2-3 days after your treatment.

• Do not apply any cosmetics to the treated area within a 12-hour period.

• Avoid direct sources of heat and radiation (UV radiation, sunlight and sauna etc).

• Avoid any strenuous exercise for 5 to 7 days.
