Body fat dissolving uses deoxycholic acid — a molecule your body naturally produces — to permanently break down fat cells in targeted areas. When injected, it disrupts the fat cell membrane. The cells then die and are flushed out by your lymphatic system over 4–6 weeks, leaving a smoother, more sculpted contour. Unlike weight loss, fat dissolving permanently removes cells — not just shrinks them.

Most clients see optimal results after 3–5 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Larger areas like the stomach may need more sessions. Your nurse injector at Injex Beauty will assess your target area during your free consultation and design a tailored plan.

Yes — once fat cells are permanently destroyed, they cannot return. However, the remaining fat cells in your body can still enlarge if you gain significant weight. Pairing your treatment with a healthy lifestyle ensures long-lasting, beautiful results.

At Injex Beauty Clinics, we commonly treat the stomach/abdomen, upper arms, inner and outer thighs, bra line fat rolls, and double chin. We also offer custom 5×5 cm treatments for smaller, localised fat pockets. During your consultation, we'll confirm suitability and tailor the plan to your anatomy.

Most clients experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness for 3–7 days in the treated area — this is a normal sign the treatment is working. There is no surgical downtime. Most people return to normal daily activities the same day. Strenuous exercise and heat exposure (sauna, hot tub) are typically avoided for 24–48 hours.

You'll typically notice initial slimming within 4–6 weeks as your body processes and eliminates the destroyed cells. Results improve progressively with each subsequent session. Most clients achieve their desired outcome after 3–5 sessions over 3–5 months.
