Each appointment takes around 60 minutes, with the actual fat dissolving and skin tightening taking only around 30 minutes.
The results from the fat dissolving are gradual and are seen following at least 2-3 sessions on average (depending on the amount of fat).
As we do not tend to regenerate fat cells, the treatment does not require any maintenance treatments however, you can still gain weight in those areas due to lifestyle and dietary factors.

It can be a bit uncomfortable however we numb the skin prior to the treatment with numbing cream.
We also do not use needles in this delicate area, to reduce swelling/pain and also to be safe and minimize complications. Instead we use a micro-cannula to deposit the filler. This is blunt ended and uses only a single entry point on both sides, thereby reducing trauma and minimizing risk.
The result can be seen instantly, but tends to improve over the next 3-4 weeks post treatment.

With fat dissolving treatment, you should account for at least 7-10 days of swelling in the area. For body fat it is generally easy to cover with looser fitting clothing but if you are planning to have treatment for double chin fat, please be aware it is harder to hide so is generally best done in colder months when scarves/high neck jumpers can be worn with no problem.
It is important to keep a low fat diet for 2 weeks following treatment with low alcohol consumption so that your body can focus on breaking down the fat cells.
Fat Dissolving
Fat dissolving injections are an excellent treatment for those looking to treat areas on the body with stubborn, localised fat. Common areas include lower stomach fat, love handles, back/bra fat and double chin.
It is is a body contouring treatment, not a weight loss solution. It is generally for those specific areas that seem to be resistant to exercise. We advise patients to only seek this treatment once they are already roughly at their goal/normal weight for them so that we can achieve better results.
The injections work by liquidating fat cells in the treated area and removing them permanently. As we do not tend to regenerate fat cells, the treatment does not require any maintenance treatments however, you can still gain weight in those areas due to lifestyle and dietary factors.
As part of Dr Anj’s fat dissolving treatments, she also carries out skin tightening in the treated area, which is all part of the sessional fee to ensure skin is tight even once fat is reduced. We aim to achieve around upto 30% fat reduction over a number of sessions (dependant on the amount of fat).
