Everything You Need to Know About Fat Dissolving Treatments
Do you struggle with long-term weight loss? Are you constantly trying to figure out how to lose arm fat or get rid of that pesky muffin top? If so, fat dissolving treatments may be the solution for you.
If you haven’t heard of this particular cosmetic treatment, have no fear. We’re going to explain the ins and outs of fat dissolving injections, so you can consider if it’s the right weight-loss treatment for you.
What Are Fat Dissolving Treatments?
Fat-dissolving treatment, also known as lipolytic injections, is a simple and non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses injections to target fat deposits in the body. These injections use Deoxycholic acids, a synthetic form of naturally-occurring acids in the body. Deoxycholic acids damage and liquefy fat cell membranes, breaking the cells down so they can be flushed out of the body by the lymphatic system.
In short, these treatments are used to directly reduce fat in targeted areas. It’s a safe and effective way to eliminate fat that won’t budge through regular diet and exercise.
What Areas Can I Treat?
It’s a common misconception that fat dissolving injections can only be used on the face, particularly around and beneath the chin. But it’s also commonly used on the body. Typical treatment areas include chin, arms, back, thighs, face, stomach, bra area and can also be used on cellulite. Practitioners will explain in detail which areas can be treated.
Keep in mind that these treatments aren’t a generalized weight loss strategy. They should be reserved for pockets of fat that an otherwise healthy person can’t eliminate on their own.
Who Is Eligible?
The majority of adults are eligible for fat dissolving injections with a few notable exceptions. These factors will make you ineligible for treatment:
- Prior surgery or procedures to the chin, neck, and/or other areas you wish to target with fat dissolving injections.
- Medical conditions involving the target areas.
- Any allergies to Deoxycholic acids.
- Infection or signs of infection in the target area.
- Pregnant women, or women who are breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant, are not eligible.
What Can I Expect From My Treatment?
Depending on the areas being treated and your desired goals for treatment, you can expect a minimum of three sessions and a maximum of six. There’s also no downtime! So you can return to normal life almost immediately after treatment.
Within a few weeks or months of treatment, you can expect drastically reduced fat in all treated areas, with an overall slim, tight, and contoured appearance.
Fat-dissolving injections eliminate fat cells, so they cannot regenerate. This means that these results should be permanent. If any fat cells remain in treated areas they can get bigger, however, the area will never reach its original size if a healthy diet and exercise are maintained.
Possible Risks And Side Effects
There are some side effects and risks of this treatment.
- Swelling is somewhat common, but not severe and usually lasts a few days after treatment.
- Slight numbness can occur, but symptoms should not last longer than 30 days.

Problems with facial muscles and swallowing can also occur, though this is very rare and not severe. It will usually resolve within the first month or two.
