Fat Dissolving Injections

Gradually break down fat deposits to aid weight loss

Fat dissolving injections, also know as injection lipolysis or lipolytic injections, are a non-surgical treatment used to reduce localised areas of fat in the body that are difficult to target with exercise and diet alone.

The injections contain a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps to break down and absorb dietary fat. Fat dissolving injections can give you a slimmer, more defined and contoured look.
