How do fat dissolving treatments work?
Fat dissolving treatments break down fat cells through a process known as adipocytolysis. This is achieved by exposing fat cells to extreme temperatures, or specific compounds.
Fat dissolving breaks down the outer membrane of the treated fat cells. This is like a dart popping a balloon. The fat cells then release their contents, triggering an inflammatory response. Metabolic processes then clear away the fat cell debris permanently.
You’ll notice a reduction in fullness at the treated area. Any remaining fat cells can grow and shrink depending on changes in your weight. However, because there are fewer fat cells, you won’t gain as much fullness.
Where can fat dissolving treatments be used?
Fat dissolving treatments are ideal for small, isolated pockets of fat. They can be used to reduce unwanted fat deposits in many areas of your body.
The fat located under your chin, also known as double chin fat can be reduced.
You can treat the fat along the front and back of the bra line, adjacent to your armpits.
The fat that sags below the jawline as you age is know as a jowl and can be treated with jowl fat injections.
Not all areas of fullness can be treated with fat dissolving treatments. For the treatment to be effective, the fullness must be due primarily to excess fat. Softer quality fat will generally respond better than more fibrous fat.
During your comprehensive consultation, we will be able to assess your suitability for fat dissolving injections in your areas of concern.
Am I suitable for fat dissolving treatments?
Most people have small pockets of fat they don’t like, but this doesn’t always mean that fat dissolving treatments are appropriate.
The ideal candidate for fat dissolving is in good health and has soft, excess fat covering an area the size of a credit card or smaller.
Are fat dissolving treatments safe?
Fat dissolving treatments are a popular non-surgical option for reducing localised fat. When administered correctly fat dissolving treatments are safe and effective.
The treatments break down fat cells, which are then removed by the body. While safe, there are potential risks and side effects associated with fat dissolving. These include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or discomfort in the treated areas. In rare circumstances, side effects like infection, uneven contouring, or skin injury can occur.
Consult with a qualified medical professional who will perform your fat dissolving safely. They will carefully evaluate your suitability, and discuss potential risks with you. You should also follow treatment aftercare, and report any symptoms of side effects. This helps ensure a safe fat dissolving treatment.
Trust the team at Cosmetic Connection to perform your fat dissolving treatments safely, and effectively. Our qualified medical professionals ensure your fat dissolving injections are performed safely by using premium products and evidence-based techniques.

Weight gain and genetics are the usual causes of stubborn fat pockets.
Genetics factors are why you can be normal or under weight, and still have areas of fullness.
Some medications and medical conditions can also predispose you to developing fat deposits.
Fat dissolving treatments break down fat cells. They work by rupturing the outer cell membrane (like a dart popping a balloon). The contents of the cell are then released, and metabolised by your body. These cells do not return.
Fat dissolving treatments are perfect for people with small pockets of fat who don’t want liposuction. They can treat excess fat on almost all areas of your body.
The most common areas to treat with fat dissolving injections are:
- Jowls
- Bra bulges
- Under chin
Fat dissolving treatments have many benefits that make them a popular choice for non-invasive fat reduction. These include:
- Non-invasive, no downtime treatment.
- Quick treatment with minimal discomfort.
- Permanently eliminates fat cells.
- Improve shape and contour of the treated area.
- Prevents future fat accumulation, meaning less fat will go to the treated area if you gain weight.
If you have small, stubborn pockets of fat, then you are likely suitable for dissolving treatments.
Small pockets of soft fat are ideal for fat dissolving treatment.
During your consultation, our doctors will assess the volume and type of fat, and the quality of the overlying skin.
The cost of fat dissolving treatments will depend in the extent and complexity of your treatment.
Diet and exercise are a good first-line treatment for reducing fat. However, it isn’t always successful or sustainable. If you can’t seem to shift fat, or find it constantly combing back, then consider fat dissolving injections.
It’s called stubborn fat for a reason. Certain parts of our body are prone to fat deposits, regardless of your diet and exercise habits. While diet and exercise can help, it’s common for even the fittest athletes to have an area of concern. For this, there are fat dissolving treatments.
Fat dissolving treatments can treat small, stubborn deposits of fat in almost any area of your body. The most common areas we treat are:
- Double chin fat
- Bra bulge fat
- Jowl fat
- Small pockets of abdominal fat
- Above knee fat
- Banana roll fat
Fat dissolving treatments do not cause sagging or loose skin.
In fact, the treatment can create a subtle tightening effect by producing collagen in response to the fat cell destruction process.
Fat dissolving treatments have almost no discomfort when done correctly.
In inexperienced hands, it can be a very painful experience.
Here at Cosmetic Connection, we use a range of strong numbing options to keep discomfort to an absolute minimum.
Our patients consistently report only very mild discomfort during their fat dissolving treatment.
Most people need 2-4 sessions of fat dissolving treatments to achieve their ideal result.
The number of treatments needed depends on:
- The size and volume of the fat deposit.
- The density of the fat.
- You much of a difference you want.
There is also slight variation in how well each person responds to the treatment.
Your appointment will begin with a comprehensive assessment of the area of concern. We will determine your suitability, and discuss the details of the treatment with you.
The treatment takes just a few minutes. It begins with cleaning the skin, and numbing the area. We then precisely perform the treatment.
After the treatment, the area will look fuller.
Expect slight tenderness and swelling which gradually improves over 5-7 days. You can gently apply a wrapped cold pack to help with this.
The treated area will continue to improve for a few weeks, at which time you can consider another session.
Fat dissolving treatments are a quick process, usually taking minutes. This includes cleaning, marking and numbing the area.
You will see the full effect from fat dissolving treatments in 8 weeks. It takes time for your body to metabolise broken down fat cells.
Fat dissolving treatments permanently break down fat cells. Once metabolised, they don’t return.
Any remaining fat cells can grow in size if you gain weight. However, you will put less fullness on in the treated areas.
Most people experience a modest reduction in fullness after 2-3 fat dissolving treatments.
We recommend you have at least 2 treatments spaced 8 weeks apart.
You can have additional treatments if you want a more pronounced result.
Fat dissolving treatments are not a treatment for cellulite.
No, it takes up to 8 weeks to see the final result after fat dissolving treatments.
We recommend having at least 2 treatments for optimal results.
Prepare for your fat dissolving treatments with the following guidelines:
- Cease all supplements 1 week before your treatment (unless taking for medical reasons)
- Avoid excessive alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment
- Attend your appointment without makeup
- Closely shave the planned treatment area where appropriate the day before your treatment
Adhering to the fat dissolving treatment aftercare is important to ensure safety. Follow these guidelines:
- Gently apply a wrapped ice pack for any discomfort and to reduce swelling
- Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive alcohol for 24 hours
- The treated are may feel firm and numb while healing. After 1 week, massage the area to help this settle.
While fat dissolving treatments have no downtime, there will be swelling. This usually resolves in a few days.
All patients who undergo fat dissolving treatments will have swelling. This is caused by the metabolism of the treated fat cells.
Swelling is usually moderate. This means people you know will notice. It goes down in a few days.
You can conceal swelling with clothing, or by wearing a mask
Swelling after fat dissolving treatments usually subsides in 3-5 days. You can minimise swelling by gently applying a wrapped ice pack after your treatment.
Fat dissolving treatments are low risk. Some side effects of the treatment are as follows:
- Transient numbness
- Temporary induration (hardened, thickened tissue under your skin)
There are a few very rare side effects. These include temporary smile asymmetry and skin injury.
The main side effects from fat dissolving treatments are temporary swelling and redness. Rare side effects including damage to the skin ad infections. You can reduce risk by having treatment at an experienced, doctor-led cosmetic clinic.
