Fat Dissolving
Fat dissolving, often referred to as injectable fat-dissolving treatment, is a non-surgical procedure that uses specially formulated injectable solutions to break down and eliminate localized fat deposits. The most common active ingredient in such treatments is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down dietary fat during digestion
How It Works:
1. Injection: A medical professional injects the solution directly into the targeted fat area (e.g., chin, abdomen, thighs, etc.).
2. Action: The acid breaks down the fat cell membranes, causing the fat cells to dissolve.
3. Elimination: The body metabolizes and eliminates the broken-down fat naturally through the lymphatic system over several weeks.
Popular Brands:
• Belkyra (in Canada and Europe, known as Kybella in the U.S.)
• Other formulations may include compounds like phosphatidylcholine or additional lipolytic agents.
