Fat dissolving injections are a safe, effective treatment that can help you to achieve a slimmer, more contoured body shape and eliminate those stubborn areas of fat.

The product I opt to use is LipoLab where the main ingredients consist of vitamins, amino acids and plant extracts including Phosphatidylcholine, L-Carnitine and Sodium Deoxycholate, which is also found naturally in the body.

Deoxycholate in combination with Phosphatidycloline destroys adipocytes and converts fat into an emulsion state. Once the product is injected into the treatment area it gets to work at liquidating the fat cells in the treated area, destroying them permanently. The broken-down cells are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.

LipoLab is significantly more affordable than liposuction and is significantly less invasive, therefore requires little downtime following the treatment. LipoLab is an effective way of tackling stubborn pockets of fat that can't be shifted through regular exercise, a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. However, LipoLab is not a suitable alternative to weight loss and is not suitable for obese clients.

 

As with all treatments that involve needles, there may be some mild discomfort and the injections may sting for a few seconds. You may experience some redness, bruising or swelling initially but this should only last a few days. Generally, Fat Dissolving Injections are straightforward, pain is minimal, and you don’t need much downtime, with many people heading back to work after a treatment.

Results are long lasting and become apparent after two to three sessions. Depending on the size and severity of the area, you may require further sessions (these should be at least 3-4 weeks apart).
