Fat-Dissolving
Treatments

Targeted injectable treatment for small, localised pockets of fat that remain despite a stable lifestyle.

Book a Consultation
Face and body areasProduct-specific coursesConsultation required

Fat-dissolving injections are intended for localised pockets of subcutaneous fat, not general weight loss or obesity treatment. They can be considered where a specific area remains resistant to diet and exercise.


We offer different treatment options, including PPC-based plans and Aqualyx. The correct product, quantity and schedule depend on the area, tissue, medical history and expected outcome.

What It Treats

Common concerns we treat

How It Works

Targeted treatment, realistic expectations

A selected solution is injected into the fatty layer across a carefully mapped treatment area. The treated fat cells are disrupted and the body gradually processes the released material.


Swelling is an expected part of the response and several sessions may be required. This treatment is designed for contouring a specific pocket, not producing immediate weight loss.

The Process

What to expect

1

Consultation

We assess the fat pocket, skin quality, medical history and whether injections are appropriate.

2

Planning

The area is measured and marked, then the product, quantity, schedule and total cost are agreed.

3

Treatment

The selected solution is injected methodically into the mapped fatty layer.

4

Review

Progress is reviewed after swelling has settled before any further session is planned.

Is It Right For You?

A proper conversation

Treatment may suit adults at a stable weight who have a small, localised pocket of pinchable fat and realistic expectations.


It may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with certain medical conditions, active infection, impaired healing or where the concern is loose skin rather than fat. Not sure if this is the right treatment for your concern?

Risks & Safety

Informed decisions matter

Expected effects include swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, firmness, itching and temporary numbness. Less common complications include infection, prolonged swelling, nodules, contour irregularity, skin injury, nerve irritation, allergic reaction and an unsatisfactory result.


We explain expected recovery, aftercare, warning signs and the contact procedure before you decide whether to proceed. Urgent or unexpected symptoms must be reported immediately.

Questions

FAQ

PPC fat-dissolving plans start from £99 per session and Aqualyx treatment courses start from £499. The total depends on the area, the amount of product and the number of sessions you need, and is confirmed at your consultation before any treatment.

No. It is intended for selected localised fat pockets and is not a substitute for weight management, diet or exercise.

The number and spacing of sessions depend on the product, treatment area, response and agreed goal.

Swelling can be noticeable, particularly beneath the chin. We will explain the expected recovery for your selected product and area.

Treated fat cells do not regenerate in the same way, but remaining cells can enlarge if your weight changes. Results therefore depend on maintaining a stable lifestyle.

PPC plans start from £99 and Aqualyx courses start from £499. Your exact cost is confirmed after assessment.

A double chin is a small area, so it usually falls at the lower end of our pricing, with PPC plans from £99 per session. We measure the area at consultation and give you a fixed total before you decide.

Ready to discuss a stubborn area?

Start with an honest consultation. We will confirm whether the concern is fat, skin laxity or something else, then recommend treatment only if it is appropriate.
