AT A GLANCE
At Empire Clinic, we believe that the fundamental basis for a successful aesthetic procedure is an in-depth consultation with a skilled qualified practitioner to assess your needs and develop a bespoke personal treatment plan so that you achieve outstanding natural looking results.
HOW IT WORKS
Fat Dissolving Injections are a specially-formulated compound solution, injected by an expertly trained medical practitioner into the problem area. It works by attaching to fatty deposits, breaking them down over time. The fat is then naturally dissolved and flushed out by the body. Results are effective, quick, and minimally invasive. Fat Dissolving Injections can be used to treat almost all small deposits of fat, but the most popular treatment areas include the chin, thighs, arms, and stomach.
The choice of product is absolutely crucial in ensuring that the treatment is safe, effective and, for the majority of clients, painless too. Because we always strive to offer our patients only the best products, at Empire Beauty Clinic we mainly use Cincelar Plus with great results.
Below we have summarised the differences between the most popular products available on the UK market to help you choose the one that is best for you.
TREATMENT STEP BY STEP
Here is some essential information about the treatment and what to expect before, during and after your visit with us.
STEP 1
CONSULTATION
At Empire Clinic, nothing is more important to us than your health, safety and wellbeing. During your initial consultation, we discuss in depth what your wants and needs are and make a plan on how we can achieve that for you. We also talk through your medical history to make sure there aren't any potential contraindications. If you have any qualms or questions of your own, this appointment provides a great opportunity to ask away.
STEP 2
DURING YOUR TREATMENT
Before the procedure, your healthcare provider will cleanse, disinfect then mark the injection sites with a marker. Using very small and thin needles, they will inject the solution across the marked areas. Usually 20 to 30, and up to 50, injections are administered with minimal discomfort. The acid then works gradually to kill fat cells, which are metabolized by the body over the following weeks.
STEP 3
AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
Immediately after treatment you may appear red and slightly swollen. Bruising is possible on the treated area. The inflammatory reaction caused by the fat dissolve injections can result in swelling for 3-5 days. The treated area may feel tender and firm for up to 8 weeks post treatment. You will receive written aftercare advice before you leave to minimise side effects and maximise your results
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which areas can be treated?
Target areas that can be treated with fat dissolving injections on the body include the abdomen, love handles, muffin top, saddlebags, inner thighs, knees, upper arms, back rolls, buttocks and underarm bra fat.
Target areas on the face include double chins and the jawline.
Does treatment hurt?
As fat dissolving injections are minimally invasive, there may be some level of mild to moderate discomfort, but it should not be painful and is easily tolerated. As with all
treatments that involve needles, the injections may sting for a few seconds, but generally, pain is minimal. Aqualyx tends to be considerably more uncomfortable than Cincelar Plus therefore a lidocaine local anaesthetic may be used if the treatment is done using Aqualyx
Who is a suitable candidate for fat dissolving injections?
This treatment is ideal for clients who are slightly overweight with stubborn, localised fatty deposits which appear resistant to diet and physical activity. Candidates need to have between 1.5cm and 10cm pinchable fat on the body. For treatment to the face, the treatment area would need to be sufficient to be able to pinch the fat away from the chin and jawline.
How many treatments are needed?
A number of treatments required varies depending on the size of the fatty deposit and from client to client. Most clients will need at least two treatments to see the results they are after. Fat dissolving injection treatments are recommended between 4 to 6 weeks apart, which is usually how long any swelling can potentially last. A course of 3 to 6 treatments on the body and 2 to 3 on the face is usually advised for the best results.
How soon will I see results?
Fat loss results take approximately 3 to 6 weeks to show, however, the treatment area will continue to improve over the coming weeks and months. A course of treatments is required for optimal fat reduction results.
When are fat dissolving injections not recommended?
Typical contraindications to the treatment include those with a history of anaphylaxis, severe allergies, severe physical illness, autoimmune disease, as well as someone who are pregnant or breastfeeding or anyone under the age of 18.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
There is no down time as such; clients can go back to their normal routine straight after treatment. However, it is recommended that an elastic compression garment is worn post treatment for several days to get the best results and reduce swelling.
What are the side effects?
Initial localised swelling and redness in the treatment area usually resolves within 3 to 4 days. There may be minor bruising at the injection sites and/or sensitivity and tenderness around the treated area. This will generally resolve in up to 10 to 14 days. A rarer side effect is scarring, which has been reported but isn’t known to occur with any regularity. It’s also possible you could have an allergic reaction to one or more of the substances present in the solution.
Is there anything I need to know to prepare myself for fat dissolving injections?
We advise you not drink alcohol or take ibuprofen within the preceding 24 hours of your appointment as this can increase the risk of bruising. If you intend to have a facial treatment e.g. double chin where swelling may be obvious you may wish to organise some time away from work or social engagements.
Are the results permanent?
Whilst the body can regenerate fat cells – the process is very slow. Once fat cells are removed from a localised area, your results are as good as permanent. However, if you do
not continue to maintain a healthy lifestyle then your body will put on weight in other areas of your body where fat cells remain. Destroying fats cells leads to a long lasting solution provided patients retain a stable weight and continue to exercise as usual.
