Dissolve stubborn fat without surgery. Our Lipolytic Injection treatment uses advanced fat-dissolving compounds to permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas. Whether you are battling a double chin, stubborn jowls, or small pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise, this minimally invasive treatment offers a proven solution with no incisions, no anesthesia, and minimal downtime. Once those fat cells are gone, they are gone for good.
HOW IT WORKS
Lipolytic injections use naturally occurring compounds to break down and permanently destroy fat cells. The primary active ingredients are deoxycholic acid and phosphatidylcholine (PC/DC), substances your body already produces to digest and metabolize dietary fat. When injected directly into subcutaneous fat deposits, these compounds trigger a targeted destruction of fat cells that your body then naturally eliminates.
The science is straightforward: deoxycholic acid, a bile salt produced by your liver, disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cell to rupture and release its contents. Phosphatidylcholine assists in emulsifying and transporting the released fat, while also protecting surrounding tissue from irritation. The result is a controlled inflammatory response that breaks down fat cells while simultaneously stimulating collagen production for skin tightening.
Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation and assessment. Your provider marks the treatment area and may apply a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic for comfort. Using a fine needle or cannula, the lipolytic solution is injected in a precise grid pattern throughout the fat deposit, ensuring even distribution and optimal results.
Following injection, your body goes to work. Over the next several weeks, the destroyed fat cells are processed by your lymphatic system and naturally eliminated. The treated area gradually becomes slimmer and more contoured as the fat dissolves. Most clients require 2-4 treatment sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve their desired results.
The key advantage of lipolytic injections is permanence. Unlike weight loss that shrinks fat cells (which can expand again), lipolytic injections actually destroy fat cells. Once eliminated, those cells cannot return. As long as you maintain a stable weight, your results are long-lasting.

WHY OUR CLIENTS LOVE THIS SERVICE
Our clients love that lipolytic injections finally address fat that nothing else could touch. These are the pockets of fat that persist despite clean eating, regular exercise, and disciplined lifestyle choices. Our clients have tried everything, and lipolytic injections are often what finally works.
Our clients love the permanent results. Unlike treatments that temporarily reduce the appearance of fat or require ongoing maintenance, lipolytic injections actually destroy fat cells. Once those cells are gone, they cannot regenerate. Our clients appreciate investing in a solution, not a temporary fix.
Our clients love avoiding surgery. Liposuction requires anesthesia, incisions, compression garments, and significant recovery time. Lipolytic injections offer a true non-surgical alternative with minimal downtime. Most clients return to normal activities immediately, with only temporary swelling as evidence of treatment.
Our clients love the confidence that comes with a defined jawline. As one client shared: "I have been self-conscious about my double chin my entire adult life. I avoided photos, always positioned myself carefully in meetings. After three treatments, my profile has completely changed. I actually take selfies now. It sounds small, but it has transformed how I show up in the world."
Our clients love the gradual, natural-looking results. Because fat reduction happens progressively over weeks, the change appears natural. Friends and colleagues notice clients look slimmer or more refreshed, but cannot pinpoint exactly what changed. There is no obvious "I had work done" moment.
Our clients love that treatment fits into their lives. Sessions take 30-60 minutes, there is no general anesthesia, and most people return to work the same day. The temporary swelling is manageable and actually shows the treatment is working. For busy professionals, it is the perfect solution.
THE EVOLUTION: FROM OLD TREATMENTS TO MODERN FAT DISSOLVING
The Problem with Traditional Approaches
For most of medical history, surgical liposuction was the only effective option for removing stubborn fat deposits. While effective, liposuction comes with significant drawbacks: general anesthesia or heavy sedation, surgical incisions, post-operative pain, compression garments worn for weeks, bruising and swelling lasting months, and the risk of surgical complications including infection, contour irregularities, and anesthesia reactions.
For smaller areas like the double chin, traditional liposuction seemed excessive. The recovery burden outweighed the benefit for many patients, leaving them to simply live with fat deposits that bothered them daily.
Non-invasive alternatives emerged but had limitations. Cryolipolysis (fat freezing) offered a non-injectable option but required bulky applicators that could not treat small or curved areas like the chin effectively. Results were modest and required multiple sessions. Radiofrequency and ultrasound devices could tighten skin but provided minimal actual fat reduction.
Early injection lipolysis formulations showed promise but lacked standardization. Different practitioners used varying cocktails of ingredients with inconsistent results and unpredictable side effects. Without FDA oversight, quality control was a concern.
The Modern Lipolytic Injection Difference
The landscape changed dramatically in 2015 when the FDA approved deoxycholic acid (branded as Kybella) specifically for submental fat reduction. This approval validated injection lipolysis as a legitimate, effective treatment and established safety and efficacy standards.
Today's lipolytic injections represent the culmination of decades of research and refinement:
-
Standardized formulations ensure consistent, predictable results with known safety profiles
-
Deoxycholic acid and phosphatidylcholine work synergistically to destroy fat cells while minimizing tissue irritation
-
Precise injection techniques and grid patterns ensure even fat reduction without contour irregularities
-
The inflammatory response that destroys fat cells also stimulates collagen production, providing skin tightening alongside fat reduction
-
Treatment protocols have been refined through thousands of clinical applications, optimizing dosing, spacing, and technique
-
Off-label applications for body contouring have been studied extensively, expanding treatment options beyond the chin
The result is a treatment that delivers what patients always wanted: targeted, permanent fat reduction without surgery, without general anesthesia, and without extended downtime. Modern lipolytic injections have made non-surgical body contouring a reality for millions of patients worldwide.
TREATMENT DETAILS

ENHANCE YOUR TREATMENT
Lipolytic Injection + RF Therapy
Maximize skin tightening. While lipolytic injections stimulate some collagen production, adding radiofrequency therapy significantly enhances skin tightening results. Ideal for clients concerned about loose skin after fat reduction, particularly in the neck and jawline area.
Lipolytic Injection + Microcurrent Therapy
Sculpt and define. After fat dissolving reduces volume, microcurrent therapy lifts and tones the underlying muscles for enhanced facial contour. Perfect for clients seeking both fat reduction and facial sculpting.
Lipolytic Injection + HIFU Treatment
The ultimate non-surgical transformation. Combine fat dissolution with High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for dramatic lifting and tightening. HIFU reaches the deep SMAS layer to lift while lipolytic injections eliminate fat. For clients seeking maximum results without surgery.
Lipolytic Injection + LED Therapy
Accelerate healing and reduce inflammation. Red and near-infrared LED therapy supports the body's fat elimination process, reduces post-treatment swelling, and promotes skin health during the recovery period.
Ask your provider about combination treatment options during your consultation.

DISCLAIMERS
Results may vary based on individual factors including the amount of fat present, skin elasticity, age, and lifestyle. A consultation is required to determine if you are a suitable candidate and to establish realistic expectations.
Deoxycholic acid (Kybella) is FDA-approved for reduction of submental (under the chin) fat only. Use in other body areas is considered off-label. While extensive clinical experience supports the safety and efficacy of off-label applications, results may vary.
Lipolytic injections are not a weight loss treatment. They are designed to reduce localized fat deposits in patients who are at or near their ideal body weight. Significant weight gain after treatment can affect results.
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness at injection sites. These typically resolve within 2-4 weeks. Rare but serious side effects may include nerve injury resulting in facial muscle weakness or an uneven smile, and difficulty swallowing. These are usually temporary.
This treatment is not recommended for clients who are pregnant or nursing, have infections in the treatment area, have bleeding disorders or are on blood-thinning medications, have had previous surgical or aesthetic procedures in the treatment area that may have altered anatomy, or have difficulty swallowing.
Multiple treatment sessions are typically required for optimal results. The total number of sessions depends on the amount of fat present and individual response to treatment. Your provider will develop a customized treatment plan during your consultation.
Results are permanent as long as weight remains stable. Significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells in the area (or adjacent areas) to enlarge, potentially affecting your results.
