What are Fat-Melting Infusions?
​

With the help of modern science, you can now dissolve unwanted fat from specific areas of your body using simple infusions. Fat-melting infusions don't require surgery or a long recovery period. Most people may only need one treatment before they start seeing results!

Depending on your age and genetics, some areas of your body can be more susceptible to fat accumulation than others. When you want to get rid of stubborn excess fat, fat-dissolving infusions may be an effective noninvasive solution for you! 

 

Fat-melting infusions are a non-surgical option for people who have stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise. During the procedure, the drug is directly infused into fatty tissue, causing fat cells to break apart and be removed from the body through normal metabolic pathways.

This process can lead to the shrinkage of areas affected by large amounts of localized fat, such as the abdomen, arm, double chin, and hips. The treatment is effective for body contouring but not necessarily for weight loss.


Deoxycholic Acid - An FDA-Approved Fat Burning Infusion!

Deoxycholic acid  is a revolutionary prescription injectable treatment that dissolves fat cells in these delicate areas. It treats moderate to severe fat deposits in a number of different areas on the body. Deoxycholic acid (DCA) is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.

 

DCA physically destroys fat cells beneath the skin without damaging any surrounding tissue. When infused into areas of unwanted fat, this infusion causes local lipolysis (the breakdown of fats) at the targeted site. The result is a noticeable reduction in fat below the chin and a contoured, slimmer profile.

What to Expect

To determine if fat dissolving infusions are suitable for you, your specialist must examine the treatment area, as well as the surrounding areas. Since every patient's needs vary, the number of treatments also varies. Your specialist will customize your treatment according to your fat volume and your aesthetic goals. 

Results will become more noticeable over several months as the body naturally removes dead cells from your treated areas—you may not notice any changes immediately after treatment. Still, you should begin to see results within a few weeks.

​

Areas of Treatment

This treatment dissolves away only the targeted fat tissue at the treatment site – it does not dissolve fat throughout the whole body. When DCA enters your system, it breaks and permanently reduces the fat, as well as tightens the skin

Are these fat-dissolving injections for the stomach and other body parts, too? Though DCA was initially used for submental fat reduction, many professionals use it for different areas of the body, such as the: abdomen, bra line, flanks, triceps, hips.

DCA may be able to help you if you have extra fat in these areas - if you can't get rid of with exercise and if you don't want invasive surgery.


Fat Dissolving Infusion Side Effects

This treatment has minimal side effects, is usually normal, and resolves on its own as healing occurs. Here are some side effects to expect:

- Swelling

- Warmth and reddening (typically subside within 24 hrs.)

- Bruising 

- Numbness and hardness

- There may also be minimal pain


Safe and Effective

Throughout its development, DCA has been the subject of more than 20 clinical trials worldwide. In these studies, DCA was administered to more than 1600 people.
Clinical studies found that after one treatment, DCA effectively reduced fat in the chin area. Most of them experience noticeable results in 2 to 4 treatments. During clinical trials, 59% of patients underwent six treatments. Results were visible within 6 to 8 weeks, and improvements continued, especially with subsequent treatments. The results of fat-dissolving infusions are long-lasting with proper weight maintenance.


Quick Procedure

The procedure itself is straightforward. You simply need to go to your appointment where your specialist will infuse the product into the desired treatment area. There will always be no recovery period – you can walk out of the office immediately after treatment!


Minimal Downtime and Side Effects

Unlike surgical procedures, which can be costly, painful, and lengthy, DCA is performed in-office with less downtime or recovery period required. Most patients experience little to no pain during treatment with DCA. It does not require anesthesia or stitches and does not leave any scars on the treatment area. You'll be back to your routine right away!
