What is Lipodissolve?

Lipodissolve, also known as injection lipolysis or “fat-melting” injections, involves the direct injection of compounds (such as phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate) into subcutaneous fat to disrupt fat-cell membranes and trigger a natural elimination process. It is designed for small, resistant fat deposits rather than wholesale weight loss. The fat cells destroyed during treatment cannot regrow at the treated site, provided weight is maintained.

This treatment is suitable for areas like under-the-chin (submental fat), inner thighs, saddlebags, arms, abdomen or bra-rolls, where even diligent diet and exercise have not produced the desired result.

More About Lipodissolve

Belkyra® – Side Face

Belkyra® (deoxycholic acid) is an injectable treatment specifically formulated to target and destroy fat cells beneath the skin. Once injected into the treatment area, Belkyra® breaks down fat cell membranes, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body. Common treatment areas include the double chin, lower cheeks, and jawline, helping to sculpt a leaner, more refined side profile.
