Fat Dissolving Injections

Radiofrequency Microneedling with the AGNES is used to precisely reduce fat, tighten the skin and treat acne or enlarged pores. The AGNES is a new approach to facial contouring without surgery. The precision single/triple needle system delivers energy to the skin or fat to produce heat. Focused heat reduces unwanted fat and contracts the skin. The targeted energy can treat the skin regardless of skin color type. Patients see improvement in eye bags, fatty jowl/neck/chin, tightening, fine lines, acne, pore size, with minimal downtime. We now have a tool that we can sculpt and reduce volume where we need to.

FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS

Features & Benefits

Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

Fat-dissolving injections offer a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction. They require no incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia, making them less intimidating for patients seeking fat reduction.

Targeted Fat Removal

These injections are designed to break down fat cells in specific, stubborn areas that are resistant to diet and exercise. Common treatment zones include the double chin, thighs, abdomen, and arms.

Gradual and Natural-Looking Results

The fat breakdown process occurs over several weeks, allowing for a gradual reduction in fat. This prevents drastic changes and ensures a natural-looking contour enhancement.

Who is Fat Dissolving Injections for?

 

Fat-dissolving injections are designed for individuals who have localized areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Here’s a detailed breakdown of who might be a good candidate:

Those with Small to Moderate Fat Deposits

Individuals with well-defined pockets of fat rather than general obesity. Examples: A double chin (submental fat). Love handles. Fat on the thighs, abdomen, or upper arms.

Individuals Close to Their Ideal Weight

These treatments are not a substitute for weight loss but rather for contouring and refining specific areas. Candidates should be at or near a healthy weight.

People Seeking Non-Surgical Options

Those who want to avoid invasive surgical procedures like liposuction and prefer minimal downtime.

Patients with Realistic Expectations

It's important to understand that fat-dissolving injections work gradually over multiple sessions and are not a "quick fix" or a solution for large-scale weight loss.

FAQs

Fat-dissolving injections use specific compounds (like deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine) to break down fat cells in targeted areas. Once destroyed, the fat cells are metabolized by the body and eliminated naturally.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Double chin (submental fat)
  • Abdomen
  • Thighs
  • Upper arms
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Bra bulge or back fat

The number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the treatment area, but most people require 2 to 6 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.

Yes, the results are long-lasting because the destroyed fat cells are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining a stable weight is essential, as new fat cells can develop with significant weight gain.

The active ingredient breaks down the fat cell membranes, causing the fat cells to liquefy. The body’s lymphatic system then processes and eliminates these destroyed fat cells.

Downtime is minimal, but swelling and redness may persist for a few days, especially in areas like under the chin. Most people return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

This treatment is not suitable for:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
  • Those with certain medical conditions (e.g., liver disease, autoimmune disorders).
  • People with infections or skin issues in the treatment area.
