Fat dissolving face treatment uses a precisely injected solution to break down and permanently eliminate small, stubborn pockets of fat on the face. It targets areas such as the jowls and lower face where excess fat can soften facial contours and reduce definition, working with the body’s own processes to clear the fat naturally through the lymphatic system.
The result is a more defined, contoured facial profile that develops progressively across the treatment course, without surgery or general anaesthetic.
Treatment areas: Jowls, lower face and chin area
Your treatment begins with a consultation where your doctor will assess the areas of concern on the face, discuss your goals and confirm suitability. Fat dissolving face treatment is suitable for most adults, with the exception of those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is best suited to targeting localised, stubborn pockets of fat on the face rather than as a general treatment for overall facial fat reduction.
On the day, a topical numbing agent is applied before treatment begins. Fine needles are used to inject the dissolving solution into the targeted areas. The session takes 15 to 30 minutes. Significant swelling in the treated area is normal and expected following treatment as it indicates the inflammatory process is working. Plan for 3 to 5 days of downtime and avoid social commitments during this period. Improvements are visible after the first session, with the most noticeable results appearing at the end of the full treatment course. A complimentary review is offered six weeks after the final session.

Allows precise targeting of stubborn facial fat that has not responded to diet or exercise
Improvement develops gradually as the body processes the dissolved fat, giving a subtle, proportionate outcome
Treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, providing a durable improvement to facial contour
Fat dissolving face treatment contains a combination of active ingredients that work together to safely break down and remodel facial fat. Deoxycholic acid breaks down the fat cell membrane, while supporting ingredients help manage swelling, support tissue healing and protect the skin from oxidative damage during the process. The result is a more contoured, defined face that develops naturally as the body clears the dissolved fat through the lymphatic system.
Because the process works gradually, results look natural rather than sudden. Most patients notice a meaningful improvement in facial definition across the course of treatment, particularly around the jawline and lower face. Treated fat cells are permanently eliminated, but maintaining a stable body weight is important to preserve the long-term outcome. A complimentary review is scheduled six weeks after the final session, and maintenance applications are available for those wishing to sustain a specific appearance.
Fat dissolving treatments require more aftercare than standard injectable treatments due to the inflammatory nature of the process. Your doctor will go through all instructions in detail before you leave.
Important: Pain and discharge from the injection sites are not normal. If you experience either of these, contact the clinic immediately for advice.
Fat dissolving face treatment has a higher level of expected side effects than most injectable treatments. These are a normal and expected part of the process.
Common temporary side effects include:
These effects typically resolve within 3 to 5 days. All further treatment must wait until side effects have fully resolved. All potential side effects will be discussed in full during your consultation .
Fat-dissolving face treatment suits patients who feel their facial contours have been dulled by stubborn, localised fat that does not shift despite their lifestyle. The gradual, natural-looking improvement in definition is consistently one of the most valued aspects of the result.
