What is injection lipolysis (Fat Removal)?
Lipolysis is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes unwanted fat pockets from the targeted areas of the face and body. The treatment is perfect for patients with naturally toned body proportions who suffer from small localized fat deposits.

How does lipolysis work?
Our expert practitioners perform lipolysis by injecting fat-dissolving agents made from deoxycholic acid into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. The active agents target fat cells and break them down effectively. Fat cells are then absorbed and removed from your body through the lymphatic system.
What are the side effects of lipolysis injection?
Lipolysis is generally a safe cosmetic injection with extremely rare complications being minor nerve injuries such as an uneven smile or difficulty swallowing. Some of the common side effects of the treatment include swelling, redness, bruising, burning, itching, hardening, and slight discomfort. They typically subside within a few days or weeks after the procedure.

FAQ
Do fat dissolving injections work permanently?
The answer is yes, but lipolysis does not affect your overall body weight as it only treats localized fat tissue. Unless you gain weight, the results should be permanent with a good diet and regular exercise.
Does fat come back after fat dissolving injections?
Although lipolysis removes small fat pockets from specific areas, new fat cells can still accumulate there. Thus, you need to have a balanced diet and work out regularly to stay in shape for a long time.
How long does it take for lipolysis to produce results?
It may take 2-3 weeks for lipolysis injections to produce noticeable effects. The final results are visible after 2 months. At Beauté Concept, our experienced specialists will consult with you and help determine the frequency of the injection sessions you need to achieve your desired outcome.
How often can you do lipolysis injections?
The treatment can be repeated if the fat tissue starts to build up in the targeted area again. For patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle, this won’t occur for at least 2 years.
How painful are fat dissolving injections?
It is not painful to receive the injections, though you may feel slight discomfort when the fat-dissolving solution is delivered into the tissue. It is a quick process, and any minor discomfort will last only a few minutes. Treatments are typically performed under local anesthesia with no downtime needed and last 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the targeted area.
How many sessions of lipolysis are needed?
For more optimal and effective results of the treatment, patients usually take 3 or 4 sessions at intervals of 6-8 weeks.
