Say goodbye to your double chin! Fat-dissolving injections are a non-surgical treatment used for getting rid of small, stubborn deposits of fat that are difficult to shift with diet and exercise.

These painless injections work via a solution that is injected into the subcutaneous layer of the skin. The solution breaks down the fat cell membrane, the fat leaks out and is taken to the liver via the lymphatics where it is metabolised and then eliminated from the body. Once the fat cell has been destroyed, it is gone forever.
