Lipolysis (Fat-Dissolving Injections)

What Is Lipolysis?

Lipolysis is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that targets stubborn pockets of fat using fat-dissolving injections. Also known as injection lipolysis or lipotherapy, this treatment involves injecting a fat-dissolving substance (often containing deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine) directly into the problem area to break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.

How Does Lipolysis Work?

The injected solution disrupts the fat cell membranes, causing them to break down. The body then metabolizes and eliminates the released fat through the lymphatic system over the following weeks. The result? A more contoured and sculpted look without surgery or downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to Expect

A consultation is done first to assess suitability and treatment goals. The injections are administered in the selected area using a fine needle. The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.
After treatment, mild swelling, redness, or bruising can occur — especially in areas like the chin — and typically resolves within a few days. Multiple sessions (usually 2–4) spaced a few weeks apart may be needed for optimal results.

How soon will I see results?

Results begin to show within 3–6 weeks as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Full results can take up to 8–12 weeks.

Are the results permanent?

Yes — once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent new fat accumulation.

Does the procedure hurt?

Some clients feel mild discomfort during and shortly after the procedure, often described as a stinging or burning sensation. A topical numbing cream can be used to minimize this.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people need 2–4 sessions depending on the treatment area and desired results. Your provider will advise on a custom plan.

Can I go back to work after the treatment?

Yes. Downtime is minimal, although there may be temporary swelling or tenderness. Most clients resume normal activities the same or next day.
