Slimming Injection (Fat-Dissolving Shot) Introduction

Slimming injections, also known as fat-dissolving injections, are a non-surgical body contouring treatment that uses specialized solutions to break down and eliminate stubborn fat deposits. These injections target areas resistant to diet and exercise, such as the double chin, love handles, and thighs.

 

Key Benefits

✔ Non-Surgical: No incisions, scarring, or general anesthesia

✔ Minimal Downtime: Resume daily activities immediately

✔ Targeted Fat Reduction: Precise treatment for problem areas

✔ Natural-Looking Results: Gradual fat loss for a subtle, toned appearance

 

How It Works

1. Injection Solution: Contains fat-dissolving compounds like deoxycholic acid (Kybella®) or phosphatidylcholine (PPC)

2. Fat Breakdown: The solution disrupts fat cell membranes, releasing stored fat

3. Natural Elimination: The body metabolizes and removes the fat through the lymphatic system

 

Common Treatment Areas

▶ Submental Fat (Double Chin) – Most FDA-approved application

▶ Abdomen & Flanks (Love Handles)

▶ Inner Thighs & Arms

▶ Bra Bulge & Back Fat
