Fat Dissolving
At Cosmetic Skin Care, we offer fat dissolving injections for the face and the body as an alternative solution to liposuction or fat freezing surgery. The injection contains 1% deoxycholic acid (DCA) which works to destroy fat cells in the tissue.
FAQs
For many people, fat dissolving injections are a great alternative to invasive surgery such as liposuction.
This treatment can be done anywhere on the face or body where there is unwanted fat.
Common areas include:
- Jowls
- Tummy
- Love handles
- Bra fat
- Thighs
The treatment is carried out using a cannula and a numbing agent is used at the entry point of injection. It is a relatively painless treatment and well tolerated by the majority of people.
The results are permanent, but should be maintained through a healthy lifestyle.
Results may be seen after just one treatment, but a course of three treatments 3-4 weeks apart is recommended, depending on the area. Skin tightening is also available if required following the procedure.
The temporary side effects include bruising, swelling, redness and hardness of the area.
