Fat dissolving treatments are medical treatments designed to reduce small, localised pockets of fat. They work gradually, with the treated area becoming more refined over time as the body processes the affected fat cells.

These treatments may be suitable for patients with small, well-defined pockets of stubborn fat, particularly under the chin or armpit/bra puff. They are not designed for overall weight loss or larger areas. Suitability is determined during a full facial consultation, where your anatomy and treatment goals are carefully assessed.

Results develop gradually over several weeks as the body responds to treatment. A series of treatments is often required for optimal outcomes, with improvements becoming more noticeable over time.

As with all medical treatments, individual responses can vary. While many patients achieve a reduction in the treated area, results are not guaranteed and a small percentage of individuals may respond minimally or not at all.

Swelling is an expected and necessary part of the treatment process and can be significant. This is typically most noticeable in the first 72 hours, but may persist for up to 1–2 weeks depending on the individual.

The area may also feel tender, firm, or uneven while healing. This settles gradually over time as the treatment takes effect.

Downtime should be considered when planning this treatment, and it is not recommended if you have an important event scheduled within the following 1–2 weeks.

Most patients find treatment very tolerable. The sensation is often described as a small, quick pinch, and discomfort is typically minimal and short-lived. Individual experiences can vary depending on the treatment area and sensitivity.

Ella is known for her gentle technique, with a strong focus on patient comfort. A vibration distraction tool is used during treatment, which many patients find highly effective in reducing discomfort. Numbing cream and ice are also available if required, ensuring your experience is as comfortable and supported as possible.

As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks. These may include swelling, bruising, tenderness, numbness, unevenness, infection, or unintended outcomes.

Your individual suitability, along with all potential risks, benefits, and alternatives, will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation to ensure you are able to make a fully informed decision.

As with all medical procedures, outcomes can vary and results cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, treatments are not eligible for refunds.

Treatment is not suitable if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or currently unwell. Certain medications or recent illness may also impact your ability to be treated safely, which will be discussed during your consultation. You will be provided with personalised pre-treatment guidance.

After treatment, swelling and tenderness are expected and can be significant. Following your aftercare instructions is important to support healing and optimise your result. Detailed guidance will be provided at your appointment.

We recommend allowing adequate time (4 weeks) prior to important events or travel, and encourage you to contact the clinic if you are unsure about your suitability at any stage.
