What are fat dissolving injections?
If you have stubborn areas of fat that simply do not want to shift no matter what you do, fat dissolving injections can be a useful solution. They are a non-surgical option that liquidate and destroy fat cells permanently. These help to change the contours of the body, but are not a weight loss tool and are best used on small, localised areas such as the chin, back, arms, stomach, hips, flanks, thighs, buttocks and knees.
Who is an ideal candidate for fat dissolving injections?
Fat dissolving injections are great for anyone who is looking to get in shape but have struggled to slim down certain areas. These injections can be used to make an area looker slimmer and more toned as well as helping with the definition of things such as a six pack. They can be particularly useful as a final push towards a goal weight or to tackle areas that have not responded to other methods, but should not be used as a substitute for a healthy diet or exercise regime.
How do fat dissolving injections work?
The injections contain a secondary bile acid that is found naturally in body. This disrupts the fat cells when it is injected into a layer of fat and causes them to dissolve. The body then eliminates them naturally through a process of lymphatic drainage. This means that it can take as much a eight weeks before you can see the full effects of the results.
