Fat Dissolving Injections
The new Deoxycholic acid fat dissolving injection is designed to treat those difficult localised pockets of fat. Desobody, Desoface and Aqualyx products are proven to reduce fat deposits in the right patients. The sterile solution is indicated for localised adiposity of the face, neck and body. When treating the body localised adiposity is reduced and skin firmness is improved. When treating the face, drainage of excess fluids takes place as well as reduced localised adiposity.
​
How is Deso, different to the older fat dissolvers on the market?
Desobody, is the newest body fat dissolving injection formula on the market to date. It contains the active ingredient sodium deoxycholate (deoxycholic acid) which is a special, FDA-approved, medical detergent to break down fat cells. It has been shown to be safer, more effective and more comfortable than other older fat dissolvers such as Aqualyx and others on the market.
Desobody & Desoface strength is 1.25%, double the strength of Aqualyx.
​
What does it feel like?
As it is a medical, minimally invasive treatment there maybe some level of mild to moderate discomfort or sensitivity especially at the start of the treatment. The pain should be easy tolerated. The injectable does contain a local anaesthetic inside to minimise discomfort as much as possible.
​
What can you expect immediately after the fat dissolving injections?
The treatment maybe followed by initial redness, localised swelling, bruising, tenderness and sensitivity in the treated area.
​
How long before we will see results?
Each patient is different however you should start seeing results from 2-3 weeks after your treatment. The gradual action of the solution needs time to achieve the treatment aim. A course of treatments is required for larger areas of fat reduction. The results are permanent with sensible lifestyle, as fat cells are being destroyed.
What is the downtime involved for the deso or Aqualyx?
Initial localised swelling and redness in the treatment area usually resolves within 3-4 days. There may be minor bruising, at the injection sites. Sensitivity and tenderness around the treated area, this will generally resolve in up to 10-14 days.

Are there any complications during or after the treatment?
During the treatment bruises may occur and that's why it is advised to pause with taking substances that dilute the blood and increase the risk of bruises, such as aspirin, nurofen, voltaren, vitamin e. An occurrence of painful nodules is usual and is a consequence of the inflammatory process that develops when fat is dissolved.
