Fat Dissolving

Treatment

The fat dissolving treatment is an injection made from deoxycholic acid solutions. It is a naturally occuring acid, produced by the liver, however, using it in higher concentrations in some areas can destroy fat cells.

Results following the treatment will become noticable within two to three days. Multiple sessions will be required to really see results, depending on the severity of the area you may require up to six sessions.

Fat dissolving injections are injections made from deoxyholic acid solutions aiming to reduce body fat in the administered area. Though a common misconception, they are not a substitute for losing weight, only designed to target localised fat deposits.

To see long term results from this treatment, you will need to maintain a healthy and balanced diet, along with keeping up with regular exercise, keeping the treatment ongoing aswell, to continue the fat reduction.

AZ Medispa Aesthetics offers fat dissolving treatments on the following areas; Chin, jaws, abdomen, love handles, bra line, arms, thighs.

Fat Dissolving Aftercare

You can resume your normal daily activities after fat dissolving treatment.

Immediately after treatment with fat dissolving you may notice some redness, swelling, ten- derness and a painful sensation in the treated area, as well as numbness from the local anaes- thetic. These symptoms generally improve significantly over the next few days.

Drink plenty of fluids after treatment, you should aim for at least 2 liters per day.

The swelling occasionally may last for up to 2 weeks, if symptoms persist or other reactions occur, please contact your practitioner.

If the area is tender, you can use simple over the counter pain killers such as paracetamol.

Avoid makeup for 24 hours and any creams or skin oils, this will reduce the risk of infection at the injection sites.

A cold compress may help with swelling and inflammation.

Eating a healthy diet and taking regular physical exercise will help to improve fat loss and limit new fat gain.

Try to reduce alcohol and caffeine consumption to help prevent dehydration.

Avoid sunbeds, swimming, UV light and saunas until the initial skin redness and swelling has settled.

Avoid any extremes of temperature for the first week following treatment.

You must seek medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience any signs or symptoms of infection after treatment. Infection can present as hot, red shiny skin, there may be pus formation and you may have a fever or feel generally unwell.
