Fat dissolving injection is a non-surgical procedure that uses an injection to break down small, localised pockets of fat under the skin. The process of the treatment varies according to the kind of product applied; in any case, it disrupts the cells of the fat that is treated and allows the body to slowly metabolize and eliminate the fat over time.
Depending on the product used and your suitability, injection fat reduction may be indicated for the areas of the body including the double chin, jawline, abdomen, flanks, bra area, upper arms, inner thighs, and other preferred areas of the body.
Fat dissolving injections are not used to lose weight. They are designed to contour a specific area where fat has not gone away despite dieting and exercise.
Different products and treatment approaches may be considered depending on the treatment area, the amount of localised fat and your individual goals.
1. Aqualyx
An injectable lipolysis treatment used for selected small areas of localised fat. It may be considered for areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms and selected facial or submental areas, following clinical assessment.
2. Deoxycholic Acid-Based Treatments
Deoxycholic acid is used in certain injectable fat-reduction treatments, particularly for selected cases of submental fullness beneath the chin. The exact product, indication, and suitability must be confirmed during consultation.
3. Lemon Bottle [ON HOLD — NOT FOR PUBLICATION]
A product marketed for localised fat reduction. Before this product is named or offered on the live website, Pearl Skin Clinic should confirm the exact product formulation, legal and regulatory status, sourcing, evidence base, and clinical suitability.

4. Double Chin Fat Dissolving
A targeted approach for selected pockets of fat beneath the chin, with the aim of improving the appearance of the jawline and lower facial contour.
5. Body Fat Dissolving
Treatment may be considered for selected small pockets of fat in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, bra area, upper arms and inner thighs, depending on the product and clinical assessment.
6. Combination Body Contouring
For some patients, fat dissolving injections may be combined with suitable body-contouring or skin-tightening treatments where both localised fat and skin laxity are present.
A thorough consultation is the first step in treatment at Pearl Skin Clinic, where the area of concern, as well as the amount of localised fat and skin quality and desired outcome are assessed.
The product chosen is carefully injected into the desired fatty tissue. May experience temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, firmness, or numbness following treatment, depending on the product and treated area.
This takes time to take effect as the body uses the fat that has been treated. Depending on the size of the treatment area/size and fat content, and the individual’s response, more than one treatment may be suggested.
Typically 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area
Gradually over the following weeks
Usually 2–4 sessions, depending on the product, treatment area and amount of localised fat
Long-lasting contour improvement may be achieved when body weight remains stable; future weight gain can affect surrounding fat cells
Usually limited, although swelling, tenderness, redness or bruising may occur
