Yes, when administered correctly by a trained clinician and used in appropriate candidates, fat dissolving injections are an effective way to reduce localised areas of stubborn fat.

•  Aqualyx fat-dissolving injections work by disrupting the fat cell membrane, causing the cell to break down and be eliminated by the body's lymphatic system
• Lemon Bottle fat dissolving injections use a combination of riboflavin, bromelain, and lecithin to accelerate fat metabolism and reduce localised deposits
•  Results are gradual and build over four to six weeks following each session; most patients see meaningful improvement after two to three treatments

Fat dissolving injections are not a weight loss treatment and work best for localised areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Your clinician will assess suitability at the consultation.

Yes, when carried out by a medically qualified practitioner using approved products, fat-dissolving injections have a well-established safety profile.

• Aqualyx fat dissolving injections have been used clinically for over 15 years and are widely used across the UK and Europe
• Side effects are typically mild and temporary, including swelling, tenderness, and redness at the injection site
• At SABA Health, all treatments are led by Dr Asis Behura, a Consultant Anaesthetist, ensuring a medically rigorous and safety-first approach

All risks and side effects are discussed in full at your consultation before any treatment begins.

Swelling is a normal and expected response after Aqualyx fat-dissolving injections and is part of the inflammatory process that triggers fat breakdown.

• Aqualyx swelling day by day -  Days 1 to 3: the treated area will typically feel tender and appear swollen; this is most pronounced in the first 48 hours
• Days 4 to 7: swelling begins to reduce; some firmness or lumpiness under the skin is normal at this stage
• Weeks 2 to 4: swelling continues to settle and the area begins to soften as the body processes the treated fat cells
• Weeks 4 to 6: results become visible as the final swelling resolves and the area contours become clearer

Swelling can be more pronounced in certain areas, particularly under the chin. Your clinician will guide you through what to expect at your pre-treatment consultation.

Both are injectable fat-dissolving solutions, but they differ in formulation, mechanism, and typical patient experience.

• Aqualyx before and after: A deoxycholic acid-based solution with a longer track record and clinical evidence base; it tends to produce more noticeable swelling in the days following treatment
• Lemon Bottle fat dissolving before and after: A newer formulation using natural active ingredients; it typically causes less post-treatment swelling and is associated with faster visible results, particularly for lemon bottle chin before and after results
• Both are effective and the right choice depends on your treatment area, skin sensitivity, and goals; your clinician will recommend the most appropriate option at consultation

The number of sessions depends on the treatment area, the volume of fat being targeted, and how your body responds.

• Most patients require two to four sessions of fat-dissolving injections spaced four to six weeks apart
• Fat dissolving injections for the double chin and jaw typically respond within two to three sessions; larger areas such as the stomach or arms may require four or more sessions
• Results are long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed; however, remaining fat cells can still enlarge with significant weight gain

Your clinician will give you a personalised session estimate at your initial consultation.
