Before treatment, we provide a detailed consultation in our private dermatology practice. During this consultation, we check whether the fat-away injection is suitable for the desired area of the body.
The treatment itself usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. After the injection, there may be temporary slight swelling, redness, or sensitivity to pressure.
Depending on the size of the fat deposit, several sessions may be advisable.
Injection lipolysis has been used in aesthetic medicine for many years and was originally developed to treat small fat deposits.
The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a bile acid that occurs naturally in the human body during fat digestion. In lipolysis, it is used to dissolve fat cells in a targeted manner.
Studies show that smaller fat deposits in the double chin, abdomen, or hips can be reduced by this treatment. However, it is important that patients undergo a thorough, individual examination and that the treatment is performed professionally by experienced physicians.

Injection lipolysis is a minimally invasive procedure for reducing small fat deposits. It involves injecting an active ingredient into the fatty tissue that specifically breaks down the fat cells.
The treatment is particularly suitable for localised fat deposits that are difficult to reduce through exercise or dietary changes.
The active ingredient is injected directly into the fatty tissue using fine needles.
There it causes:
Dissolution of fat cells
Breakdown of fat components via the metabolism
Gradual reduction of the treated fat deposits
The body then transports the dissolved fat components away via the lymphatic system.
Lipolysis is particularly suitable for smaller fat deposits in various areas of the body.
Typical treatment areas are:
Double chin
Abdomen
Hips
Thighs
Back areas
Knees
Smaller fat deposits on the face or neck can also be treated.
Lipolysis is particularly suitable for people with localized fat deposits that are difficult to reduce despite a healthy lifestyle.
The treatment is not a method for general weight loss, but is used for targeted body contouring of individual areas.
A personal consultation at our dermatology practice can help you understand whether fat-away injections are the right solution for you.
The effect of the fat-away injection develops gradually. After treatment, the body begins to break down the dissolved fat cells via the metabolism. The first changes can usually be seen after a few weeks. The final result is usually visible after several weeks, depending on the area of the body treated and the individual's metabolism.
The fat cells that have been dissolved by the fat-away injection are permanently broken down by the body. This means that the treated fat cells do not reappear. However, it is important to maintain a stable lifestyle with a balanced diet and exercise, as remaining fat cells can continue to store fat if you gain weight.
