Fat-dissolving injections are a non-surgical treatment designed to break down stubborn fat deposits that are hard to eliminate through diet and exercise. These injections are administered under the skin (hypodermis) and work by dissolving fat cells in targeted areas, which are then naturally excreted through the lymphatic system. While the procedure is relatively quick, some may experience slight discomfort during the process.
Composition of Fat Dissolving Injections
These injections typically contain a modified form of bile acid, which targets and breaks down fat cells in the body, eventually allowing them to be expelled through the lymphatic system.
Types of Fat Dissolving Injections
There are several types of fat-dissolving injections, each with unique formulations:
- Lipolab-lipoplex: (Phosphatidylcholine + Deoxycholic acid) – Manufactured in South Korea.
- Aqualyx: (Deoxycholic acid) – Created by the Italian firm Marllor and commonly used in the UK.
- Suppreal: (Phosphatidylcholine + Deoxycholic acid) – A French product by Darmaqual Lab, Paris.

Each brand has its strengths. Aqualyx, Lemon Bottle, and Kybella are among the most popular.
