Fat-dissolving injections, such as Aqualyx and Deso, are injectable solutions designed to break down and eliminate localised fat deposits.

These injections use compounds that disrupt fat cell membranes, causing the fat to be gradually metabolised and excreted by the body.

When performed by a trained practitioner, fat-dissolving injections are safe, though mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort may occur.

Noticeable results typically appear after 2–4 weeks, with optimal outcomes often seen after multiple sessions.

Results are permanent for treated fat pockets, provided weight and lifestyle are maintained.

Mild swelling and bruising may last a few days; most daily activities can be resumed quickly.
