Fat Dissolving Injections

The treatment involves some discomfort. During injection, you’ll feel a stinging or burning sensation which typically lasts 10-30 minutes. This is due to the solution working on the fat cells. Local anesthetic in the solution and numbing cream help minimise discomfort. The area will be tender and may feel sore for several days afterwards, similar to post-workout muscle soreness. Most patients find the discomfort very manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

The treatment session itself takes 30-45 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. Your first appointment will be longer (60-90 minutes) as it includes a thorough consultation. You’ll need multiple sessions for optimal results – typically 2-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the area being treated and the amount of fat present.

Results develop gradually. You may notice initial changes at 2-3 weeks, with more visible improvement at 6-8 weeks after each treatment. Optimal results are typically seen 8-12 weeks after completing your full course of treatments. The fat continues to be eliminated for up to 12 weeks after each session, so patience is important.

Results can be permanent because the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and cannot regenerate. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t gain weight in the area. If you gain significant weight after treatment, the remaining fat cells can enlarge. Maintaining results requires maintaining a stable weight through healthy diet and regular exercise.
