What are Fat Dissolving Injections?
For many men and women, leading a healthy lifestyle is successful for helping to keep the body in shape. However, when pinchable deposits of fatty tissue appear difficult to shift, fat dissolving injections can provide an effective solution. This treatment can be used on areas of the face and body, including: under the chin, around the jawline, upper and lower back, stomach, hips, upper arms and thighs, however they are not designed to be used as a method for losing significant amounts of weight.
The Experience
At House of Saab we use the brands Aqualyx and Kybella. The injections contain a modified compound of deoxycholate acids that is administered to the area of fatty tissue, just beneath the skin. The acid then works to breakdown the fat cells, which can be naturally disposed of through the body’s own lymphatic system. Depending on the size of the area that is being treated, more than 1 injection may be required; which will be discussed during your consultation.
This procedure can also be effective for improving pseudo-gynaecomastia; a condition that can affect men and causes the growth of extra fatty tissue in the breast area – giving the appearance of ‘man boobs’.
