Fat dissolving injections, also known as lipolysis or fat-melting injections, are a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce stubborn, localized fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. This procedure targets small pockets of fat by breaking down fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them over time.
At Victoria Clinique in Etobicoke, fat dissolving injections are a popular choice for clients seeking subtle contouring, improved definition, and a more sculpted appearance without surgery or downtime.
How Fat Dissolving Injections Work
Fat dissolving treatments use compounds such as deoxycholic acid or specialized lipolytic formulas. Once injected into the targeted area, the active ingredient:
- Breaks down fat cell membranes
- Liquefies stored fat
- Allows the body to metabolize and remove it naturally
- Prevents the same fat cells from returning
Because the destroyed fat cells are permanently eliminated, results are long-lasting as long as a stable weight is maintained.
Treatment Areas
Fat dissolving injections can target multiple areas where stubborn fat tends to accumulate:
Face:
- Double chin
- Jowls
- Lower cheeks (buccal area)
Body:
- Upper arms
- Bra or back rolls
- Abdomen (upper + lower belly)
- Flanks (“love handles”)
- Inner and outer thighs
- Knees
- Lower back
- Hips
They are ideal for sculpting and contouring specific zones rather than for overall weight loss.
Benefits of Fat Dissolving
Clients choose lipolysis injections because they offer:
- Visible fat reduction without surgery
- Improved jawline and facial contour
- Better body definition in treated areas
- Permanent fat cell destruction
- Minimal downtime
- Gradual, natural-looking results
- A safe alternative to liposuction for small areas
The treatment is precise and customizable, making it perfect for individuals with stubborn pockets of fat resistant to lifestyle changes.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Fat dissolving injections are suitable for clients who:
- Have local pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise
- Want targeted contouring rather than overall weight loss
- Prefer non-surgical, minimally invasive treatments
- Have good skin elasticity
- Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
They are not intended as a weight-loss method but as a contouring and refining treatment.
The Procedure
Step 1 — Consultation
Your provider assesses the area, checks skin quality and fat distribution, and creates a tailored treatment plan.
Step 2 — Marking & Preparation
The area is cleansed, and injection points are mapped for accuracy.
Step 3 — Treatment
Small injections are placed evenly across the treatment zone.
You may feel mild warmth or tingling as the product begins to work.
Duration:
Most sessions take 15–30 minutes, depending on the area.
Treatment Plan & Expected Results
To achieve optimal results, most clients need:
- 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
What to expect:
- Mild swelling for 2–5 days (a normal sign of fat breakdown)
- Gradual fat reduction over 4–8 weeks
- Visible contouring after each session
- Final results after the full treatment course
Because the fat cells are destroyed, results are long-lasting and can be permanent.
Aftercare & Downtime
Downtime is minimal, but you may experience:
- Swelling (especially under the chin)
- Tenderness or firmness
- Redness or mild bruising
Aftercare recommendations:
- Avoid intense exercise for 24–48 hours
- Avoid sauna or heat for 48 hours
- Stay hydrated
- Gentle massage may be recommended depending on the formula used
Most clients return to daily activities immediately, though swelling can last longer in certain areas.
