After your fat dissolving injections, you should expect to see a reduction in fat in the area that was targeted during the treatment. If this was a small area, such as the chin and jawline, you should expect to see results after approximately two to three weeks following the procedure.

If the targeted area was relatively large, such as the stomach, you should expect to start noticing results after two to three weeks, but you will not see the complete result until approximately eight weeks have passed. Younger patients typically have to wait longer to notice results, as the membranes of fat cells are more stable in younger people and therefore take longer to break down. 

The number of fat dissolving injections that a patient needs depends on the area of the body that is being targeted. Typically, one to three treatments will be needed to treat small areas of the body, such as the chin and jawline.

On the other hand, larger areas of the body will usually require four to six treatments. Patients must wait approximately three to four weeks between each treatment. 

Once fat dissolving injections destroy fat cells, they cannot be replaced. This means that the effects of the treatment are permanent.

When the treatment is administered by an experienced medical professional, fat dissolving injections are exceptionally safe. The procedure is non-surgical, which makes them much safer than other alternatives.

As is the case with any form of injection, you may experience some mild swelling, tenderness, redness, bruising, or itchiness at the injection site after the treatment is administered. The effects will diminish within two to five days.

As fat dissolving injections are non-surgical, they are less invasive than liposuction. Furthermore, the procedure is quicker to administer, and you can return to work and your normal daily activities immediately after the treatment has been completed. Liposuction, by contrast, requires some downtime.

However, fat dissolving injections can only be used to remove small deposits of fat. This means that, though fat dissolving injections are more effective at eliminating localised pockets of fat, liposuction is more effective at reducing larger quantities of body fat.

The cost of this treatment depends on the area of the body that is being targeted, as larger areas will require more injections to be administered. Prices start from £250.
