Following fat dissolving injections we would advise that you:

Avoid Aspirin and Vitamin E for pain to reduce the risk of bruising or bleeding. Paracetamol is acceptable. Intermittent cooling with ice can be used by applying for 5 minutes post-procedure. A simple fan can also be helpful for discomfort.

Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours.

Bruising may occur. Avoid direct sunlight, sunbeds and heat therapies for atlas 48 hours.

Avoid hot baths and showers (tepid water only) for 5 days.

Massage the treated area for about 15 minutes per day for two weeks after treatment to aid the process of fat elimination. Nodules are not uncommon. They can last up to a month and usually disappear without any intervention. However, we would need to assess anything unusual.

Drink lots of fluids (water) for the first 24 hours.

FAQ

+ How will I feel after treatment?

Redness in the affected area is common. You may experience bruising and/or swelling. Mild discomfort and stinging is common but some may have more prolonged pain. This can be managed and we provide guidance and support throughout your treatment journey. Occasionally, ‘nodules’ may form, but are transient and require no treatment. Should they persist, please contact your practitioner.

+ Do I need to take time off work or cover up?

Not necessarily. If discomfort is minimal and the treated area is not visible (e.g. thighs, abdomen) there is no objection to working. Treating the chin area may result in visible redness, bruising and/or swelling so you may wish organise a few days off work, if this is an issue for you.

+ Is Fat Dissolving treatments on the face safe?

Used correctly, Fat Dissolving treatments are safe. No injectable treatment however is without risk. The absolute risk including damage to deep structures, necrosis of the skin, discolouration and other serious complications however remains very low. You must immediately contact your practitioner if something does not feel right.

+ Are the results permanent?

Yes, the fat cells in the treated areas are destroyed by this treatment. However, this does not stop your body’s ability to put on weight. Fat Dissolving is not a treatment for obesity. It is a treatment for stubborn, localised pockets of fat and body/facial sculpting.

+ When will I notice results?

What time should you stop eating to lose weight?

This depends on the area treated and number of sessions required. Results are noticed approximately 4-6 weeks after your final session.

+ How long will my results last?

Results are permanent provided in the treated areas. However the treatment does not stop your body from accumulating new fat, if there is dietary intake/lifestyle issue. It is not a treatment for obesity.

+ How much does the procedure cost?

More than one session may be required depending on the area and desired result. If your treatment plan requires more than 1 session, please contact your practitioner for packages.

+ Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is usually very well tolerated with a small amount of disocomfort. Injecting DESO in the wrong ‘plane’ can trigger sharp pain (e.g. incorrect placement near the skin or muscle). Injection entry points are kept to a minimum for comfort.

+ How long does the procedure last?

The procedure itself is brief, lasting approximately 30 minutes depending on the area. We allocate an hour to the session to allow for thorough consultation, discussion of benefits/risks and to ensure any consent is fully informed. Procedures are not rushed.

+ What about alcohol and exercise following treatment?

It is best to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy alcohol in the first 24hrs after treatment. Exercise is otherwise acceptable. We would always encourage adherence to recommended guidelines on alcohol consumption, both for general wellbeing and preserving facial/body aesthetics.

+ Do I need a follow-up appointment?

We offer all patients a follow-up appointment 4-6 weeks following treatment. This is to ensure results are satisfactory, there are no concerns and no complications. This interval also allows sufficient time to offer further injections safely, if the treatment plan requires more than 1 session.
