Lipolysis: target stubborn fat

Lipolysis: target stubborn fat

If you've ever said "it's just this one spot" while pointing at your double chin or a small area that won't budge, this article is for you.

What is lipolysis?

Lipolysis is an injectable treatment that helps reduce localized fat deposits by targeting the fat directly under the skin.

The solution breaks down fat cells, and your body clears them naturally over time. No surgery, no general anesthesia, no real downtime.

Which areas?

The most common area is the double chin and neck. Depending on your medical assessment, other small localized pockets may also be considered, for example:

  • The abdomen and love handles
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Arms

Each area is assessed individually: the product, technique and number of sessions depend on your anatomy and goals.

Every lipolysis plan starts with a conversation.

What does the treatment process look like?

1. The consultation. Injectable lipolysis requires a consultation first, to assess the area and build a personalized plan. It's also when we confirm it's the right treatment for you.

2. The session. Treatment consists of small, targeted injections into the localized fat. A session takes about 30 minutes.

3. The days after. Mild swelling and tenderness can appear for a few days after the session. This is normal and expected.

4. The results. Results develop gradually over the following weeks, as your body naturally clears the fat cells. Most patients need a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.

What lipolysis isn't

This treatment isn't meant for weight loss. It's for reshaping specific areas where localized fat resists diet and exercise. The best results come for people close to their healthy weight, with a stable weight.
