Fat Dissolving Injections: Target and Eliminate Stubborn Fat
At Harley Street Injectables, Fat Dissolving Injections are used to reduce small, stubborn pockets of fat without surgery or general anaesthetic. The treatment is aimed at refining body contours rather than producing overall weight loss.
What are Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat Dissolving Injections, or injection lipolysis, involve placing a fat‑breaking solution into specific areas where fat tends to linger. Common zones include under the chin, the abdomen, thighs, flanks, and other small bulges that are difficult to shift with lifestyle changes alone.
The Science Behind Fat Dissolving Injections:
because they help the body to emulsify and process fats. When injected into a pocket of subcutaneous fat, these substances damage the membrane of the fat cells so they collapse and their contents can be cleared through normal metabolic and lymphatic pathways.

How Do Fat Dissolving Injections Work?
During treatment, a series of small injections are placed directly into the fatty layer using fine needles. Over the following weeks, the treated fat cells are broken down and removed by the body, so the area gradually becomes flatter and more contoured.
Benefits of Fat Dissolving Injections
Non-Surgical:
No incisions or liposuction cannulas are required, and most people experience only brief downtime with some swelling or bruising rather than a full recovery period.
Effective Fat Reduction:
The technique is designed for localised sculpting, helping to reduce persistent fat in areas such as the chin, abdomen, thighs, and flanks that do not respond to diet and exercise.
Quick and Convenient:
A typical fat dissolving injection session is relatively short, usually lasting between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated and their size.
Long-Lasting Results:
After the targeted fat cells have been broken down and cleared, they do not grow back, so the change in those areas is considered long term. Keeping your weight and lifestyle reasonably stable helps you hold on to the slimmer contour achieved with treatment.
What to Expect During Your Fat Dissolving Injections Treatment
Consultation:
During your consultation, a medical practitioner will look at the areas you would like to slim, review your health history and any medications, and decide whether fat dissolving injections are an appropriate and safe option for your goals and body type.
Preparation:
The skin is disinfected and a topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort before the injections are carried out.
Treatment:
The fat‑dissolving solution is injected at multiple points into the target area. You may notice short‑lived stinging, pressure, or warmth, and it is normal to develop swelling and tenderness as the product starts to act on the fat cells.
AFTERCARE
Most patients can go back to everyday activities shortly after their session, although visible swelling, bruising, or a firm feeling in the treated area can persist for several days. Your clinic team will give specific aftercare advice—such as avoiding intense exercise for a short period and following any guidance on cooling, support garments, or massage—to support healing and help you achieve the best possible outcome
