FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS IN TEDDINGTON
Target and eliminate stubborn fat with non-surgical contouring
Looking to reduce stubborn fat in areas that resist diet and exercise?

HOW DO FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS WORK?
A series of small injections are placed into the treatment area, where the active ingredient is absorbed by the fat cells. Over the following weeks, the fat cells break down naturally and are eliminated by the body’s metabolic processes. Results develop gradually and can be maintained with a healthy lifestyle.
WHERE CAN BE TREATED?
Dr. Magenta uses a range of Pluryal contouring products suitable for both the face and body. Common treatment areas include:
-
Submental region – under the chin (double chin)
-
Stomach – lower or upper abdomen
-
Outer and inner thighs
-
Hips – “love handles”
-
Upper arms – “bingo wings”
WHAT ABOUT THE LOOSE SKIN AFTERWARDS?
To prevent loose or sagging skin following fat reduction, Dr. Magenta may recommend a tailored skin-tightening treatment plan. This may include topical firming products, dermal rolling, or a series of microinjections designed to improve elasticity and tone in the treated area. See our Skin Tightening page for more information.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS TO WORK?
Results typically begin to appear within 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. In the first few days, the treated area may feel slightly swollen and firm. This is a normal and expected response, indicating that the fat cells have absorbed the product.
As the fat cells begin to break down and are gradually eliminated by the body, the swelling subsides and the treated area becomes noticeably slimmer and more contoured. For best results, a course of treatments may be recommended depending on the area and amount of fat being targeted.
HOW MANY FAT DISSOLVING TREATMENT WILL I NEED?
Most clients require a course of at least 3 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal fat reduction results. The exact number of sessions depends on the area being treated, amount of fat, and your individual response to the treatment. Dr. Magenta will assess your needs during your consultation and create a tailored treatment plan to achieve safe, natural-looking results.
