Fat Dissolving Injections
Fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce small, stubborn pockets of fat that may not respond to diet and exercise.
The treatment works by breaking down fat cells in targeted areas, which are then naturally processed and removed by the body over time.
This treatment is ideal for contouring and refining specific areas, helping to create a more sculpted and defined appearance without surgery.
Most clients require a course of 2 to 4 treatments, usually spaced around 4 weeks apart. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess the area and create a personalised treatment plan based on your goals.
What Are Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections are used to target localised areas of unwanted fat. They are not a weight loss treatment, but a contouring treatment designed to improve the shape and definition of selected areas.
This makes them a popular option for clients who are close to their ideal weight but would like help with areas that remain resistant to healthy eating and exercise.
At Altr Clinic, every treatment begins with a full consultation and medical assessment to ensure the procedure is safe, suitable, and appropriate for your individual concerns.
Areas We Treat
Fat dissolving injections are designed to treat small to moderate areas of localised fat as part of our professional treatment range.
Depending on the area, this treatment may also be available through our mobile service.
If you would like to check your suitability or discuss your goals, please contact the clinic to arrange a consultation.
Small Areas
These areas usually require smaller amounts of product.
Examples include:
- Chin or double chin
- Jowls
- Bra bulge
- Under buttocks (banana roll)
- Knees
- Lower cheeks
Medium Areas
These areas may require a larger amount of product or more sessions.
Examples include:
- Lower abdomen
- Inner thighs
- Arms (localised area)
Larger Areas
Larger areas may need multiple sessions and a more tailored treatment plan.
Examples include:
- Full abdomen
- Love handles
- Outer thighs
- Back fat
Your practitioner will advise on the most suitable dosage, treatment area, and number of sessions during your consultation.
What to Expect
Fat dissolving treatment involves a series of small injections placed directly into the fat layer of the target area.
The treatment itself is usually quick, and most clients are able to return to normal daily activities shortly afterwards, depending on the area treated.
It is normal to experience temporary side effects after treatment, including:
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Redness
- Bruising
Swelling can sometimes last for several days and, in some cases, up to a couple of weeks. This is a normal part of the treatment and fat breakdown process.
Results develop gradually over several weeks as the body naturally processes the treated fat cells.
Who Is Suitable for Fat Dissolving?
Fat dissolving injections are generally best suited to clients who:
- Are close to their ideal weight
- Have small, localised pockets of fat
- Want contouring rather than weight loss
- Understand that results develop gradually over time
A full consultation and medical assessment will always be carried out before treatment to confirm suitability.
If this treatment is not the right option for you, we will always provide honest advice and discuss suitable alternatives where appropriate.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required depends on the treatment area, the volume of fat present, and your desired result.
Most clients need a course of 2 to 4 treatments, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart.
Smaller areas may require fewer sessions, while larger or more stubborn areas may need additional treatment.
Your practitioner will explain what is realistic for your chosen treatment area during your consultation, so you know what to expect from the start.
