Fat Dissolving Aftercare

Fat Dissolving Aftercare Guide

By London Aesthetics Clinic

Intro to treatment

Fat dissolving is a non surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce localised pockets of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. The treatment works by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body over time. Common treatment areas include the chin, jawline, abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms, and other targeted areas. Fat dissolving focuses on contouring and refinement rather than weight loss. This treatment has been carried out by By London Aesthetics Clinic.

FAQs

How long does it take to see results from fat dissolving?

Results develop gradually. Initial changes may be seen after a few weeks, with optimal results appearing after multiple sessions.

How many fat dissolving treatments will I need?

Most clients require a course of treatments, usually spaced several weeks apart. Your practitioner will advise based on the area treated and your goals.

Is fat dissolving painful?

Discomfort varies. Swelling and tenderness are common following treatment but usually settle with time.

Is there downtime after fat dissolving?

There is minimal downtime, but swelling and firmness can be noticeable and may last longer than with other injectable treatments.

Are the results permanent?

Once fat cells are destroyed, the same fat cells do not regenerate, however over consumption will result in new fat cells being born. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve long term results.
