Fat-dissolving injections

Available in Bedford, Leicester, St. Albans and Swansea

We offer Desolipotherapy which are fat dissolving injections designed to reduce areas of stubborn fat. Deso is injected into fatty deposits, over the course of a few weeks the fat is broken down and excreted by the lymphatic system.

Is there any aftercare?

After you’re procedure you will be given an aftercare leaflet, we advise you:

  • Wear a support garment for 5-7 days (we will advise on this)
  • Take regular paracetamol for pain relief if needed (do not take ibuprofen)
  • Cleanse the skin as normal, do not overly massage or rub
  • Avoid extreme temperatures such as saunas, steam rooms, sun beds or ice baths for 2 weeks. And don’t take very hot baths or showers.
  • Avoid wearing make up for 12 hours
  • Use a sun screen of SPF50 over the affected area
  • Expect to require 4-6 treatments to get the desired effect
