Fat dissolving injections, also known as injectable fat dissolvers or lipolytic injections, are non-invasive cosmetic treatments designed to reduce localized fat deposits in specific areas of the body. When injected into the target area, the active ingredient dissolves the fat, resulting in a more defined and sculpted appearance. Fat dissolving injections are a good option if you want to eliminate stubborn fat in your face and body without the need for surgery or significant downtime.
Fat dissolving injections work by destroying fat cells. The most common type of fat dissolving injection is deoxycholic acid (DCA), which is a naturally occurring bile salt that helps to break down fats. When DCA is injected into an area of localized fat, it causes the fat cells to rupture and die. The dead fat cells are then eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system. Over time, the treated area achieves a more defined and sculpted appearance.

Before undergoing fat dissolving injections, you will undergo a consultation with one of our highly trained and experienced healthcare professionals. This allows us to determine if you are in good overall health and if your goals are realistic. After the consultation, our healthcare professionals will create a customized treatment plan.
You may also need to follow pre-treatment instructions such as:
The treatment area will be first cleansed and a numbing cream will be applied to minimize discomfort. Your healthcare provider will then administer the injections using a fine needle. During this process, you may experience a mild stinging sensation but this is usually tolerable. The duration of the treatment session can vary depending on some factors such as the amount of fat and body area being treated.
One of the key advantages of fat dissolving injections is the minimal downtime. After the procedure, you can resume your daily activities and normal routine. However, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, which should go away after a few days. These discomforts are usually mild and can easily be managed by applying an ice pack over the area.
Fat dissolving injections offer a versatile solution for addressing various cosmetic concerns. From reducing double chins to smoothing out love handles, these injections are designed to target localized fat deposits, helping you achieve a more contoured appearance.
A double chin, medically known as submental fat, is the accumulation of excess fat beneath the chin and around the neck area. It can affect individuals of various ages and body types, leading to both physical and emotional concerns. Some people may feel self-conscious and less confident if they have this condition.
Fat dissolving injections work by destroying fat cells in the chin. Over time, the dead fat cells are eliminated by the body and the treated area achieves a more defined and sculpted appearance. Kybella and Deso Face are commonly used for the treatment of a double chin and help achieve a more defined jawline.
A study evaluated the management of common injection-site adverse events, such as pain, swelling, and bruising, after using ATX-101 (Kybella) for submental fat reduction. [1] The findings indicated that ATX-101 was associated with mild and manageable pain and bruising. In addition, various interventions, including lidocaine and ibuprofen, helped alleviate these side effects, supporting the safety and effectiveness of ATX-101 for submental fat reduction.
A study aimed to assess the long-term durability and safety of ATX-101 for submental fat reduction. [2] Patients who initially responded positively to treatment were monitored over three years. The results showed that ATX-101 maintained its effectiveness, with a significant number of patients still experiencing improvement after three years, and no new safety concerns arose during the study.
Deoxycholic acid (DCA) injection, known as ATX-101 or Kybella (United States) and Belkyra (Canada), is the first FDA-approved pharmacological intervention for submental fat (SMF) reduction, offering a non-invasive alternative to improve the cervico-mental angle. A study assessed the efficacy of generic DCA for SMF reduction in Indian patients who lacked access to the branded versions. [3] The results demonstrated that generic DCA was equally effective in reducing SMF in Indian patients, with significant improvement in the Clinician Reported SMF Rating Scale (CR-SMFRS).
Treatment Options
Fat dissolving injections can help reduce the appearance of a double chin and achieve a more sculpted jawline by destroying fat cells in the chin.
Lower eyelid fat pads, also known as infraorbital fat pads, are small pockets of fat located beneath the lower eyelids. While they play a role in protecting the eyes and supporting the lower eyelid, the age-related changes in the volume and distribution of these fat pads can lead to eye puffiness, under-eye bags, and a tired appearance.
Fat dissolving injections can be used to treat lower eyelid fat pads by destroying the fat cells in the area. This can help to reduce the appearance of the fat pads, resulting in an improved appearance of the lower eyelids.
A study assessed the efficacy of deoxycholic acid (DCA) injections in a patient with fullness under the eyes due to infraorbital fat pads. [4] The patient received 0.01 cc of DCA 10 mg/ml into the affected areas. Results showed that the treatment was associated with an improvement in the appearance of the lower eyelids.
Deoxycholate and deoxycholic acid (DCA) are related compounds, and deoxycholic acid is a specific type of deoxycholate. A study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of a second-generation injectable solution containing sodium deoxycholate 1.25% (DB125) for treating lower eyelid fat pads. [5] Over 120 patients received a total of 306 treatment sessions. The results were generally positive, with patients rating the treatment effectiveness at an average of 7.125. Success was more pronounced in patients under 40, and the treatment was considered safe with minimal adverse events.

Fat dissolving injections can help address lower eyelid fat pads by destroying the fat cells in the area, resulting in a more sculpted and refreshed look.
Excess body fat in areas such as back rolls, flanks, arms, abdomen, saddlebag thighs, inner thighs, and inner knees can have both physical and emotional effects. It can increase your risk for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other health problems. In addition, it can lead to reduced self-esteem and body image concerns. It can also affect your overall quality of life by limiting your clothing choices and hindering physical activities.
Fat dissolving injections, such as those containing deoxycholic acid (e.g. Deso Body), are effective for treating various body areas with localized fat deposits, including back rolls, flanks, arms, abdomen, saddlebag thighs, inner thighs, and inner knees. The injections work by disrupting fat cell membranes, causing the release of stored fat, which is then gradually eliminated by the body. This process can lead to a reduction in fat volume and an improved contour in these specific areas, resulting in a more sculpted appearance.
In one study, the researchers assessed the impact of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate (PC-DC) injections on body composition, adipocyte (fat cell) function, and mechanisms related to fat loss. [6] Thirteen women with a BMI ≤30 kg/m2 and lower abdominal subcutaneous fat suitable for liposuction were enrolled in this study and received PC-DC injections. The results demonstrated that PC-DC treatments significantly reduced the thickness of anterior subcutaneous abdominal fat without adverse effects on inflammation, blood sugar and lipid metabolism, suggesting their effectiveness in inducing the death of fat cells for fat reduction.
A study assessed the effectiveness and safety of an injectable solution, sodium deoxycholate 1.25% (DB125), for treating various forms and degrees of localized fat deposits in different body areas such as back rolls, flanks, arms, abdomen, saddlebag thighs, inner thighs, and inner knees. [7] The study involved 221 patients who received DB125 injections, spaced 6 weeks apart. Results showed a high degree of effectiveness, with an average patient satisfaction score of 7.4, and treatment success in 93.5% of cases. Adverse events were minimal and primarily localized, affirming the safety and efficacy of DB125 for localized fat reduction.
A study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of deoxycholic acid for reducing upper inner thigh fat. [8] Fifteen subjects received 2-4 treatment sessions with deoxycholic acid, and adverse events were monitored. Results showed no serious adverse events, with expected side effects reported. At the 12-week follow-up, reductions in thigh circumference and skin fold thickness were observed. The treatment was also associated with a high patient satisfaction rate, suggesting that deoxycholic acid injection was both safe and effective for upper inner thigh fat reduction.
A study assessed the safety and efficacy of deoxycholic acid (DCA) for reducing fat in the hypogastric region (around the lower belly). [9] Fourteen patients received DCA injections and side effects were observed. The main adverse events were self-limited and included edema (swelling), bruising, and erythema (redness). DCA was associated with a reduction in fat thickness as measured by 3-dimensional scanning, leading to increased patient satisfaction.
The results are generally long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise is essential to prevent the formation of new fat deposits.
No, fat dissolving injections are not intended for weight loss. They are designed to address localized fat deposits and contour specific areas of the body.
The number of sessions needed varies depending on the individual and the treatment area. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate number of sessions during your consultation.
Most patients experience mild discomfort during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated. Your healthcare provider can apply a numbing cream before the injection process to minimize discomfort if needed.
While fat dissolving injections are suitable for many individuals, your healthcare provider will assess your candidacy during the consultation. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and those with certain medical conditions may not be good candidates for the treatment.
It can take up to 6 weeks for the full effects of the injections to be visible, and up to 12 weeks for the healing process to be complete.
