Fat Dissolving Injections in Alderley Edge, Cheshire
Fat dissolving injections permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas. Unlike diet and exercise, which shrink fat cells without eliminating them, this treatment removes them entirely. The treated cells cannot return. The result, once the course is complete, is lasting.

How Fat Dissolving Injections Work
We inject deoxycholic acid into the localised fat deposit. Deoxycholic acid is a bile acid naturally produced by the body to break down dietary fat. When injected directly into a fat pocket, it disrupts the cell membrane of the fat cells, causing them to break apart and be eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over the following four to eight weeks.
The process is gradual. The full result of each session appears at six to eight weeks, which is why sessions are spaced that far apart. Most clients need two to four sessions to reach their desired result.
Treatment Areas and Who Benefits Most
The most popular treatment areas are the submental area (double chin), jowls, bra rolls, inner thighs, arms, and stomach. The treatment works best for localised, pinchable fat pockets that have not responded to diet or exercise.
Fat dissolving injections are not a weight loss treatment. They are a body contouring treatment for specific stubborn areas. Clients at or near their target weight who have defined areas they want to address tend to see the best results.

Fat Dissolving FAQs
Are the results permanent?
Yes. The fat cells that are destroyed cannot regenerate. However, remaining fat cells in the area can still expand if you gain significant weight. Maintaining a stable weight after treatment preserves results long term.
How much swelling should I expect?
Swelling is significant and expected. The treated area will swell considerably for three to seven days. This is the treatment working. Plan around this if you have events or work commitments.
Is it painful?
There is a burning sensation during and immediately after the injections that typically lasts 10 to 15 minutes. Most clients find this tolerable. We apply numbing cream beforehand to reduce discomfort.
How long before I see results?
The full result of each session appears at six to eight weeks as the body eliminates the destroyed cells. Final results from a full course are typically visible at three to four months after the last session.
