CONTOUR, SCULPT
Define
Advanced fat dissolving injections that target stubborn pockets of fat, sculpt and contour the body and face — delivering a slimmer, more defined appearance without surgery or downtime.
What Are Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical treatment that use a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid — a substance that occurs naturally in the body — to permanently break down and destroy fat cells in targeted areas. Once destroyed, the fat cells are naturally processed and eliminated by the body, leaving the treated area slimmer, smoother and more contoured.
Unlike diet and exercise, which simply shrink fat cells, fat dissolving injections permanently eliminate them — meaning the results are long lasting and the treated fat cells cannot return. The treatment is precise and targeted, making it ideal for areas of stubborn fat that are resistant to lifestyle changes alone.
Fat dissolving injections are suitable for both the face and body, and are particularly effective for areas such as the double chin, jowls, inner thighs, stomach, back fat and bra rolls. Results develop gradually over the weeks following treatment, delivering a natural-looking contour improvement that looks as though it has been achieved through hard work rather than aesthetic intervention.
Fat Dissolving
How it works
From your first consultation through to your results, here is what to expect at every step of your fat dissolving journey with Cheree.
Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Cheree will assess the areas you would like to treat, discuss your goals and advise on the number of sessions likely to be needed to achieve your desired result.
Essex & Devon clinicsPreparation
The treatment area is cleansed and marked to ensure precise, even placement of the injections. A topical anaesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Typically 15–20 minutesTreatment
A series of small injections are administered directly into the fat beneath the skin. Cheree's precise technique ensures even distribution of the product across the treatment area for a smooth, natural-looking result.
Approx. 20–40 minutesAftercare
Some swelling, redness and tenderness in the treatment area is normal and expected following fat dissolving injections — this is a sign that the product is working. These effects typically settle within a few days to a week.
Normal swelling expectedResults
Results develop gradually over the four to eight weeks following treatment as the body processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Most clients require two to four sessions for optimal results, spaced six to eight weeks apart.
Results are permanentWhat Are The Benefits?
Fat dissolving injections offer a safe, effective and permanent solution to stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise alone. Unlike surgical options such as liposuction, there is no general anaesthetic, no incisions and no significant recovery time — making it a practical and accessible option for those looking to improve their contour without surgery. The results develop gradually and naturally, and because the fat cells are permanently destroyed, the improvements are long lasting. The treatment is highly targeted, meaning it can address very specific areas of concern with precision — from a double chin to bra rolls — delivering a more sculpted, defined appearance that looks completely natural.
Everything You Need To Know
Does it hurt?
Some discomfort during the injections is normal, and the treatment area may feel tender, swollen and warm immediately afterwards. A topical anaesthetic can be applied beforehand to minimise discomfort during the procedure itself.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients require between two and four sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart for optimal results. The number of treatments needed depends on the size of the area being treated and the amount of fat present. Cheree will advise during your consultation.
Are the results permanent?
Yes. Fat dissolving injections permanently destroy fat cells, which are then eliminated naturally by the body and cannot return. However, remaining fat cells in the area can still expand with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight helps to preserve your results long term.
Is there any downtime?
There is no significant downtime, though some swelling, redness and tenderness in the treatment area is normal and expected for several days following treatment. This is a sign that the product is working and will settle naturally.
Which areas can be treated?
Fat dissolving injections can be used to treat a wide range of areas including the double chin, jowls, inner thighs, stomach, flanks, back fat, bra rolls and knees. Cheree will advise on the suitability of treatment for your specific areas of concern during your consultation.
Is it safe?
Fat dissolving injections use a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. The treatment has a well-established safety record and is suitable for most healthy adults. Cheree will assess your suitability during your consultation and advise on any contraindications.
