Targeted reduction of small, stubborn pockets of fat that won't shift — no matter how well you eat or how hard you train. A refined way to smooth and contour specific areas.
If there's a particular area that stays stubborn despite your best efforts — a soft under-chin, love handles that won't budge, or a pocket on the inner thighs — fat dissolving injections offer a targeted way to address it. Just so we're clear from the start: this is a contouring treatment for localised pockets, not a weight-loss solution.
Fat dissolving injections are an injectable treatment used to reduce small, defined pockets of fat in a specific area. The solution is placed directly into the fatty tissue, where it works to break down fat cells. Once those cells are broken down, their contents are gradually cleared away and processed by your body's own natural systems over the following weeks.
Because the treatment works on the fat in a particular area, it's ideal for the kind of stubborn, localised deposits that resist diet and exercise — not for reducing overall body weight. It's about refining and contouring a shape, rather than making you smaller all over.
The injections are placed into the target area in a small grid of fine injection points. The active ingredient disrupts the walls of the fat cells within that pocket, causing them to break down. Your body then clears the released contents away naturally over the weeks that follow, and the treated area gradually becomes smoother and less prominent.
The effect is deliberately gradual and cumulative. Rather than a single dramatic change, you'll usually see the area soften and reduce over a series of sessions, with results developing between appointments as your body does its work. This measured approach is part of what makes the treatment feel controlled and natural — the shape of the area refines steadily rather than changing overnight.
Fat dissolving is best suited to small, well-defined pockets. Commonly treated areas include:
At your consultation, Lorraine will assess the area you're concerned about and let you know honestly whether it's well suited to the treatment.
Fat dissolving injections work best for people who are already at or near their target weight and have a specific, stubborn pocket of fat that won't shift with diet and exercise. It's a way to fine-tune a particular area — not a shortcut to weight loss and not a substitute for a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
It's important to have realistic expectations. The treatment targets small localised pockets, results build gradually, and a course of sessions is usually needed. If your goal is significant overall weight reduction, this isn't the right treatment — and Lorraine will always tell you honestly if she doesn't think it's the best option for you.

The solution is placed into the target pocket using a series of fine injections across the area.
A course is usually needed, with sessions spaced a few weeks apart to allow the area to settle and reduce between appointments.
The treated area softens and reduces over the weeks that follow as your body clears the broken-down fat away naturally.
It's completely normal to have some swelling, tenderness and firmness in the treated area after your appointment — this is part of how the treatment works, and it's a sign the injections are doing their job. Depending on the area, this can last from several days up to a couple of weeks, and the area may feel a little lumpy or bruised while it settles down. Most people manage this comfortably around their normal routine, though you may want to plan your first session with a little breathing space beforehand. Lorraine will give you full aftercare advice so you know exactly what to expect and how to look after the area between sessions.

No. Fat dissolving injections are for small, stubborn, localised pockets of fat that resist diet and exercise — such as under the chin or the flanks. They are not a weight-loss treatment and not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. They work best for people already at or near their target weight.
The injections themselves are usually well tolerated, though you may feel a stinging or aching sensation during and shortly after treatment. It's also normal for the area to feel tender, swollen and firm for a while afterwards as the treatment takes effect. Lorraine will talk you through comfort at your consultation.
A course of sessions is usually needed, spaced a few weeks apart, as the treatment works gradually. The exact number depends on the area and your individual response — Lorraine will give you an honest, tailored plan at your free consultation.
Some swelling, tenderness and firmness in the treated area is normal and can last from several days up to a couple of weeks depending on the area. Most people manage this comfortably around their day-to-day routine.
Results are gradual. The treated area softens and reduces over the weeks following each session as your body clears the broken-down fat away naturally, with the fuller effect building over your course of treatments.
