Fat Dissolving Injections
Reduce Stubborn Pockets of Fat Without Surgery
Healthy eating and regular exercise can help you lose weight, but they don’t always remove those stubborn pockets of fat that seem resistant to even the healthiest lifestyle.
Fat dissolving injections offer a non-surgical solution for treating small, localised areas of unwanted fat, helping to create a slimmer, more contoured appearance without the need for liposuction or invasive surgery.
At Aeternum Aesthetics, treatments are carried out by experienced Nurse Independent Prescribers using advanced sodium deoxycholate-based solutions to permanently destroy targeted fat cells in carefully selected areas of the face and body.
Is Fat Dissolving Right For Me?
Fat dissolving injections may be suitable if you:
- Are close to your ideal weight.
- Have small, stubborn pockets of fat that won't respond to diet and exercise.
- Want to improve body contours without surgery.
- Are looking for gradual, natural-looking results.
This treatment is not designed for weight loss or obesity. Instead, it is intended to refine specific areas of unwanted fat.
Areas We Can Treat
Fat dissolving injections can be used to treat a variety of localised fat deposits, including:
- Double chin
- Jawline
- Abdomen
- Flanks (love handles)
- Upper arms
- Bra bulge
- Back rolls
- Inner thighs
- Outer thighs
- Saddlebags
- Inner knees
During your consultation, we’ll assess whether fat dissolving injections are the most appropriate treatment for your concerns. Depending on the area being treated, the amount of localised fat and your desired outcome, we may recommend an alternative treatment such as Fat Freezing, or a skin tightening treatment where skin laxity is the primary concern.
Your Consultation
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation.
During your appointment we’ll:
- Discuss your concerns and treatment goals.
- Review your medical history.
- Assess the treatment area.
- Explain your treatment options.
- Discuss expected results.
- Recommend the number of sessions likely to be required.
- Answer any questions you may have.
We’ll then create a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically to your goals.
The Treatment
Treatment usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
After cleansing the skin, a series of carefully placed injections are administered into the targeted fat deposits. Local anaesthetic is used where appropriate to improve comfort during treatment.
Most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful.
Following treatment, you can usually return home immediately.
Fat Dissolving Injections or Body Contouring?
Choosing the right treatment depends on your individual concerns, the area you’d like to treat and the results you’re hoping to achieve.
Whilst fat dissolving injections are highly effective for reducing small, localised pockets of stubborn fat, other non-surgical treatments may be more suitable for larger areas or when skin tightening or cellulite reduction is also a priority.
Our Body Contouring treatments include:
- Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)
- Ultrasound Cavitation
- Radio Frequency Skin Tightening
- Shockwave Therapy
During your consultation, we’ll explain the advantages of each option and recommend the treatment, or combination of treatments, that we genuinely believe will achieve the best outcome for you.
When Will I See Results?
Results develop gradually as your body naturally removes the treated fat cells.
Most patients begin noticing improvement after several weeks, with continued changes over the following months.
The number of treatments required varies depending on:
- The size of the treatment area.
- The amount of fat present.
- Your treatment goals.
Many patients require a course of treatments to achieve their desired result, and we’ll discuss a realistic treatment plan during your consultation.

In others, we may advise one of our advanced Body Contouring treatments, or even our clinician-led Medical Weight Management programme if we believe these are more appropriate for achieving your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and naturally removed by the body. However, maintaining a stable weight is important, as the remaining fat cells can still enlarge if you gain weight in the future.
This varies from patient to patient. Some smaller areas respond well after a few sessions, whilst larger areas may require additional treatments. We'll discuss this during your consultation.
Most patients tolerate treatment very well. Local anaesthetic is used where appropriate to improve comfort, and any discomfort is generally mild and short-lived.
Yes. Most patients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Swelling is expected, particularly during the first few days, so you may wish to plan your appointment accordingly.
No. Fat dissolving injections are designed to treat small, stubborn pockets of fat and are not a substitute for weight loss. If your goal is to lose weight, our clinician-led Medical Weight Management programme may be more suitable.
