BODY TREATMENTS CARDIFF
At Sebastian Rose, body treatments are held to exactly the same clinical standard as everything we do for the face. Every treatment is performed by NMC and GMC-registered medical professionals using only MHRA-licensed products sourced from verified UK distributors.
Our body treatment range addresses the concerns patients feel most self-conscious about — localised fat that resists diet and exercise, skin laxity that no topical product can reverse, stretch marks, cellulite, excessive sweating and medically supervised weight loss. We do not offer treatments without clinical evidence. We do not cut corners on product quality. And we will never recommend a treatment that isn't genuinely right for you.
Whether you are looking to contour the body, restore skin quality, treat a specific condition or manage your weight under medical supervision — we will assess you properly, tell you honestly what is and is not achievable, and recommend only what will make a genuine difference.
Serving patients from Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Penarth, the Vale of Glamorgan, Monmouthshire, Bridgend and across South Wales.
LEMON BOTTLE
Lemon Bottle is a next-generation fat dissolving injectable combining riboflavin, bromelain and lecithin to break down and metabolise localised fat cells through an enzymatic process — producing comparable fat reduction to traditional deoxycholic acid injections with a significantly reduced inflammatory response and considerably less post-treatment swelling. Available for the face and body including double chin, jowls, abdomen, flanks, bra fat, inner thighs, upper arms and knees. Results develop progressively over four to eight weeks as the body eliminates treated fat cells.
LEMON BOTTLE FAT DISSOLVING
Lemon Bottle is a premium fat dissolving solution combining riboflavin, bromelain and lecithin to break down and metabolise fat cells with minimal downtime and a lower inflammatory response than traditional fat dissolving injections. Korean favourite.

LEMON BOTTLE FAT DISSOLVING CARDIFF
Lemon Bottle is a next-generation fat dissolving injectable that has rapidly become one of the most requested body contouring treatments in the UK — and for good reason. Its formulation represents a meaningful advance on traditional deoxycholic acid fat dissolving, using a proprietary blend of riboflavin (Vitamin B2), bromelain (a natural enzyme derived from pineapple) and lecithin to break down, emulsify and accelerate the metabolism of fat cells.
The clinical advantage of Lemon Bottle over conventional fat dissolving is its significantly reduced inflammatory response, and no risk of tissue necrosis. Traditional deoxycholic acid injections typically produce substantial swelling, tenderness and downtime as the fat cells are destroyed — this inflammation is a direct result of the mechanism of action. Lemon Bottle works through a gentler enzymatic and metabolic process that achieves comparable fat reduction with considerably less post-treatment swelling, making it better suited to areas where downtime is a concern and more comfortable for patients who have found conventional fat dissolving difficult to tolerate.
It is also highly versatile. Lemon Bottle can be used on the face — including double chin and jowls — and across multiple body areas including the abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, bra fat, upper arms and knees. Results develop progressively over four to eight weeks as the body metabolises and eliminates the treated fat cells. Most patients require three to five sessions spaced four weeks apart for optimal results.
A consultation is required before treatment. Lemon Bottle is not a weight loss treatment — it is a body contouring solution for patients who are at or near their target weight with specific areas of localised fat they wish to address.
DESOBODY / DESOFACE
Fat dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy localised fat cells in targeted areas that resist diet and exercise — with no surgery, no anaesthetic and no downtime. At Sebastian Rose we use DesoBody for larger body areas including the abdomen, flanks, bra fat, inner thighs and upper arms, and DesoFace for facial fat deposits including double chin and jowls. Once destroyed, treated fat cells cannot return.
DESOBODY / DESOFACE FAT DISSOLVING INJECTIONS
Non-surgical fat reduction using injectable deoxycholic acid. Targets localised fat deposits that resist diet and exercise — including double chin, jowls, bra fat, abdomen, inner thighs and more. No surgery, no downtime.

DESOFACE & DESOBODY
Fat dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid — a substance naturally produced by the body to break down dietary fat — to permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas. Once destroyed, those fat cells cannot return. The treatment is not a weight loss solution but a precision body contouring tool, designed to address stubborn localised fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.
At Sebastian Rose we use DesoFace for the face and neck — including double chin, jowls and facial fat deposits* — and DesoBody for larger body areas including the abdomen, flanks, bra fat, inner thighs, knees and upper arms. Both are injectable deoxycholic acid formulations specifically designed and CE-marked for their respective treatment areas.
Treatment involves a series of small injections into the targeted fat deposit. The deoxycholic acid disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cell to break down and be gradually eliminated by the body's lymphatic system over four to twelve weeks. Results are progressive and continue to improve for up to three months following treatment. Multiple sessions may be required depending on the area and volume of fat being treated — typically two to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
Swelling, redness and tenderness in the treated area are normal and expected for several days following treatment — this is the inflammatory process through which fat cells are broken down. A consultation is required before treatment to assess suitability, determine the correct number of sessions and set realistic expectations for your anatomy and goals.
Available at Sebastian Rose for patients from Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Monmouthshire and across South Wales.
CELLULITE TREATMENT CARDIFF
Cellulite affects over 85% of women and is one of the most poorly treated conditions in aesthetics — largely because most treatments marketed for it have no meaningful clinical evidence behind them.
At Sebastian Rose we do not offer gimmicks. We offer two injectable treatments with genuine peer-reviewed clinical data: Sunekos Cell 15, specifically formulated for cellulite, and Sculptra, which received formal EU MDR certification for body use — including cellulite improvement — in December 2025. A combination of both is often the most effective approach.
SUNEKOS CELL
The only injectable specifically formulated for cellulite. Sunekos Cell 15 combines hyaluronic acid, six amino acids and bicarbonate salts to rebuild the extracellular matrix, counteract tissue acidosis, reduce fibrosis and improve microcirculation — addressing the actual cause of cellulite rather than its surface appearance. Clinical data published in peer-reviewed literature. Grades I to IV treated.

Cellulite is one of the most misrepresented conditions in aesthetics — and one of the most poorly treated. It is not caused by excess fat. It is caused by a structural failure of the extracellular matrix: the thickening of fibrous septae beneath the skin, disruption of microcirculation, tissue acidosis and progressive fibrosis that produces the characteristic dimpled, uneven skin surface. This is why fat dissolving injections, massage, topical creams and the vast majority of treatments marketed as cellulite solutions have no meaningful clinical evidence behind them — they address the wrong problem entirely.
Sunekos Cell 15 is specifically formulated for cellulite treatment by Professional Dietetics in Italy — the same company behind the Sunekos range we use across our skin and body treatments. It combines low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, six amino acids and bicarbonate salts in a patented formula that addresses cellulite at its root: counteracting the tissue acidosis that drives ECM deterioration, improving microcirculation, reducing fibrosis and stimulating neocollagenesis to rebuild the structural integrity of the affected tissue.
Published clinical data — a peer-reviewed study by Dr Adele Sparavigna in the Journal of Plastic and Dermatology (2022) — demonstrated meaningful clinical improvement in grades I through IV cellulite, with results maintained at four months. Real-world feedback from practitioners across the UK is consistently positive.
Treatment involves three to four sessions spaced two to three weeks apart, with maintenance annually. Treatment areas include thighs, buttocks, knees and inner arms.
We will not claim that cellulite can be eliminated — it cannot, with any non-surgical treatment. What we can do is produce a meaningful, measurable and clinically defensible improvement.
SCULPTRA FOR CELLULITE CARDIFF
Sculptra received EU MDR certification in December 2025 specifically expanding its clinical indication to include the gluteal area and posterior thighs — with cellulite improvement explicitly demonstrated in the supporting studies. The most evidence-based collagen biostimulator available for body and cellulite treatment. Results last two years or more.

Sculptra received EU MDR certification in December 2025 specifically expanding its clinical indication to include the gluteal area and posterior thighs — with cellulite improvement explicitly demonstrated in the supporting studies (you can read more about this in our blog post by clicking here). This makes Sculptra the only injectable collagen biostimulator with a formally certified body indication that specifically includes cellulite. This is not an off-label application — it is a formally certified, peer-reviewed clinical indication.
Sculptra works by stimulating your body's own collagen production through the gradual metabolism of poly-L-lactic acid microparticles injected into the subcutaneous tissue. New collagen builds progressively over three to six months — restoring the structural scaffolding beneath the skin that cellulite progressively destroys. Because the result is your own collagen, results look and feel completely natural and last two years or more.
Protocol: Two to three sessions spaced six to eight weeks apart. Each session uses two to four vials depending on the area being treated. Results develop gradually over three to six months and continue improving for up to six months after the final session.
Sculptra for cellulite works most powerfully in combination with Sunekos Cell 15 — addressing the ECM and microcirculation from within while Sculptra rebuilds the long-term collagen framework. Ask about our combination cellulite protocol at consultation.
Treatment areas: Thighs, buttocks, knees. Performed by NMC and GMC-registered medical professionals at our Cardiff clinic, 39 Charles Street.
TRAPTOX — BARBIE BOTOX
Cellulite affects over 85% of women and is one of the most poorly treated conditions in aesthetics — largely because most treatments marketed for it have no meaningful clinical evidence behind them.
At Sebastian Rose we do not offer gimmicks. We offer two injectable treatments with genuine peer-reviewed clinical data: Sunekos Cell 15, specifically formulated for cellulite, and Sculptra, which received formal EU MDR certification for body use — including cellulite improvement — in December 2025. A combination of both is often the most effective approach.
TRAPTOX CARDIFF
TrapTox uses botulinum toxin injected into the trapezius muscle to slim and elongate the neck and shoulder profile, reduce chronic neck and shoulder tension, and relieve trapezius-related headaches. One of our most requested body treatments.

TRAPTOX — TRAPEZIUS BOTOX CARDIFF
TrapTox — also known as Barbie Botox — has become one of the most requested body treatments at Sebastian Rose, and its popularity is entirely justified by the results. Botulinum toxin injected into the trapezius muscle — the large muscle running across the upper back and shoulders — produces a gradual reduction in muscle bulk over four to six weeks, creating a visually elongated, more elegant neckline and shoulder contour that is immediately apparent in both clothing and photographs.
The treatment has two distinct clinical applications, and patients often benefit from both simultaneously. The aesthetic benefit — a slimmer, more defined shoulder and neck profile — is the reason most patients initially book. The therapeutic benefit — significant reduction in chronic neck and shoulder tension, trapezius-related headaches and the discomfort caused by hypertrophic (overdeveloped) trapezius muscle — is frequently what keeps them coming back.
The trapezius is one of the muscles most commonly affected by stress, poor posture and desk-based working. Chronic tension in this muscle is one of the most common causes of headaches that originate in the neck and shoulders. TrapTox provides relief from this tension for the duration of the treatment — typically four to six months — which for many patients is genuinely life-changing in terms of daily comfort.
Treatment involves multiple precisely placed injections across the trapezius on both sides. The correct dosing for your anatomy is essential — undertreating produces minimal aesthetic effect, overtreating can affect shoulder movement.
A consultation is required to assess your trapezius size and function and determine the appropriate dose. Unlike botox in other areas, results are slower to appear, developing gradually over four to six weeks, and lasting around four to six months.
EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Hyperhidrosis affects approximately 3% of the population and is one of the most undertreated conditions in medicine — largely because most sufferers do not know that a highly effective, long-lasting medical solution exists. Botulinum toxin injected into the underarms, palms or soles blocks the nerve signals that trigger sweat glands, reducing excessive sweating by up to 87% for six to twelve months. Clinically proven. Life-changing for patients who have not responded to topical treatments.
HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT CARDIFF
Botulinum toxin injections for axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) — clinically proven to reduce sweating by up to 87% for six to twelve months. Available for underarms, palms and soles. Life-changing for patients who have not responded to topical treatments.

HYPERHIDROSIS TREATMENT CARDIFF — EXCESSIVE SWEATING
Hyperhidrosis — excessive sweating beyond what is required for thermoregulation — affects approximately 3% of the population and can be profoundly disruptive to daily life, confidence and professional functioning. It is also almost universally undertreated, because many sufferers are not aware that a highly effective, long-lasting medical treatment exists.
Botulinum toxin injected into the axillae (underarms), palms or soles blocks the nerve signals that stimulate eccrine sweat glands in the treated area — dramatically and reliably reducing sweating for a period of six to twelve months. Clinical studies consistently demonstrate sweat reduction of 80 to 87% following treatment. For patients who have tried antiperspirants, iontophoresis and other topical measures without adequate relief, this treatment is frequently described as one of the most significant improvements to their quality of life they have ever experienced.
The treatment requires multiple small injections across the treatment area. A starch-iodine test is performed beforehand to map the precise area of active sweating and ensure comprehensive coverage. Treatment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. There is no downtime. Normal activity can be resumed immediately.
Results are typically maintained for six to twelve months, with many patients finding the duration extends progressively with repeated treatment as the glands remain inactive for longer. A prescription consultation is required before treatment as botulinum toxin is a prescription-only medicine.
PROFHILO BODY
Profhilo is not just for the face. Profhilo Body uses the same patented NAHYCO® hyaluronic acid technology — one of the highest concentrations of HA available in any injectable product — to treat skin laxity across the body. It diffuses through all layers of the skin, stimulating four types of collagen and two forms of elastin, restoring the hydration, firmness and structural integrity that body skin loses with age. No volume. No filler. Just genuinely healthier skin — on the abdomen, inner arms, inner thighs, knees, décolletage and neck.
PROFHILO BODY - CARDIFF
Profhilo is not just for the face. Profhilo Body uses the same patented NAHYCO® hyaluronic acid technology to treat skin laxity on the body — including abdomen, inner arms, inner thighs, knees, décolletage and neck — restoring hydration, firmness and elasticity to skin that has lost its quality.

PROFHILO BODY CARDIFF — SKIN LAXITY TREATMENT
The skin on the body ages differently from the face — and is far more commonly neglected. Areas including the inner arms, inner thighs, abdomen, knees, neck and décolletage frequently develop the thin, crepey, lax skin quality that is one of the most visible and distressing signs of ageing — yet receive a fraction of the clinical attention given to the face.
Profhilo Body uses the same patented NAHYCO® technology and ultra-high-concentration hyaluronic acid formulation as facial Profhilo, adapted for body application. With 64mg of hyaluronic acid per 2ml and the same BDDE-free stabilised hybrid cooperative complex, it diffuses through all layers of the skin, stimulating four types of collagen and two forms of elastin, restoring the skin's hydration, firmness and structural integrity from within.
It is not a fat dissolving treatment and it does not change body contour. It is a skin quality treatment — specifically indicated for the thin, dehydrated, lax body skin that responds poorly to topical products and cannot be improved by exercise or lifestyle changes alone. The results are a visible improvement in skin texture, elasticity and quality — skin that feels and looks genuinely healthier rather than simply moisturised.
A course of two sessions spaced four weeks apart is recommended, with maintenance every six months. Treatment areas include abdomen, inner arms, inner thighs, knees, neck and décolletage. Results last up to six months and improve progressively across the treatment course.
POLYNUCLEOTIDES BODY
Polynucleotides are not just a face treatment. The same biological mechanism that makes them so effective for facial skin regeneration — adenosine A2A receptor activation, fibroblast stimulation, collagen and elastin synthesis — works equally powerfully on the neck, décolletage, inner arms, knees, abdomen and hands. Injected into body areas with thin, crepey or structurally compromised skin, polynucleotides stimulate genuine cellular regeneration rather than surface-level improvement. Particularly effective for stretch marks, where they stimulate new collagen formation within the damaged dermal tissue, and for areas where skin has become fragile or lax in a way that no topical product can address.
POLYNUCLEOTIDES - BODY TREATMENT
Polynucleotides are not just a face treatment. Injected into body areas with thin, crepey or damaged skin - such as stretch marks, they help to stimulate genuine cellular regeneration — improving skin quality, elasticity and texture in areas where other treatments have limited effect.

From 299 British pounds
POLYNUCLEOTIDES BODY CARDIFF — PDRN SKIN REGENERATION
Everything we know about polynucleotides and their remarkable capacity to regenerate skin at a cellular level applies equally to the body. The same mechanism — adenosine A2A receptor activation, fibroblast stimulation, collagen and elastin synthesis, angiogenesis — produces the same quality of skin regeneration on the neck, décolletage, inner arms, knees, hands and abdomen as it does on the face.
Body polynucleotide treatment is particularly indicated for crepey, thin or structurally compromised skin that has lost its resilience — areas where the skin has become fragile, loose or visibly aged in a way that no topical product can meaningfully address. It is also highly effective for stretch marks, where the disruption to dermal collagen and elastin can be partially reversed through sustained polynucleotide treatment stimulating new collagen formation in the affected tissue.
We use the same premium polynucleotide brands for body treatment as for face — Mastelli, Plinest, Newest, Plenhyage and Rejuran — selected based on the treatment area and the specific skin concern being addressed. Your practitioner will recommend the correct product and protocol at consultation.
A course of two to four sessions spaced around three to four weeks apart is recommended.
Results develop progressively over four to eight weeks and last six to twelve months.
SUNEKOS BODY
Sunekos Body is the only injectable that stimulates both collagen AND elastin simultaneously — through its patented HY6AA formula combining six essential amino acids with hyaluronic acid. Elastin loss is the primary driver of crepey, slack body skin and it is almost impossible to address through any other non-surgical means. Sunekos Body targets it directly — treating skin laxity, stretch marks and structurally compromised skin on the inner arms, thighs, abdomen, knees and décolletage. Particularly effective for post-pregnancy skin, post-weight-loss skin and stretch marks at any stage. Clinical studies demonstrate 50% improvement in skin firmness and meaningful reduction in skin laxity across treated areas.
SUNEKOS BODY
Sunekos Body uses the patented HY6AA amino acid and hyaluronic acid formula to regenerate the extracellular matrix in body skin — treating skin laxity, stretch marks, crepey skin on the inner arms, thighs, abdomen, knees and décolletage with measurable clinical results.

SUNEKOS BODY CARDIFF — AMINO ACID BIO-REGENERATION
Sunekos's unique capacity to stimulate both collagen and elastin simultaneously — through its patented HY6AA combination of six specific amino acids and hyaluronic acid — makes it one of the most clinically effective treatments for body skin laxity available. Where most skin quality treatments focus primarily on collagen, Sunekos addresses elastin specifically — the protein responsible for the skin's ability to recoil, bounce back and resist gravity. Elastin loss is the primary driver of the crepey, slack quality that develops on body skin with age, and it is extremely difficult to address through any other non-surgical means.
Sunekos Body is used at Sebastian Rose for a wide range of body concerns — inner arm skin laxity, inner thigh crepiness, abdominal skin quality post-pregnancy or weight loss, knee skin, décolletage and neck regeneration, and stretch mark treatment. In each case it delivers the same dual collagen and elastin stimulation that has made Sunekos one of our most clinically trusted skin treatments.
Clinical studies of Sunekos have demonstrated forehead wrinkle reduction of 71%, 50% improvement in skin firmness and 49% reduction in sun damage appearance — outcomes that translate directly to body skin treated with the same mechanism.
A course of three to four sessions spaced one to two weeks apart is typically recommended for body areas, with maintenance every six months.
MICRONEEDLING - BODY
Medical microneedling on the body delivers the same clinical collagen induction as facial microneedling — creating controlled micro-injuries at calibrated depths that trigger the skin's wound healing response and stimulate progressive collagen and elastin production in the treated area. Used at Sebastian Rose for stretch marks, body scars, skin laxity and post-weight-loss skin looseness on the abdomen, arms, thighs, knees and décolletage. Significantly enhanced with PRP, polynucleotides or Sunekos Body infused simultaneously through the micro-channels — combining mechanical stimulation with biological regeneration in a single session for results neither treatment achieves alone.
MICRONEEDLING - BODY
Medical microneedling on the body delivers the same clinical collagen induction as facial microneedling — treating stretch marks, body scars, skin texture and laxity on the abdomen, thighs, arms, décolletage and more. Enhanced with PRP, polynucleotides or Sunekos for maximum results.

BODY MICRONEEDLING CARDIFF — COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY
Medical microneedling on the body works through exactly the same mechanism as facial microneedling — controlled micro-injuries at calibrated depths trigger the skin's wound healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production in the treated dermis and improving skin quality, texture and firmness progressively over the following weeks.
Body microneedling at Sebastian Rose is used for stretch marks — where the collagen induction response can meaningfully improve both red and mature marks — body scarring, skin laxity on the abdomen, inner arms, thighs and décolletage, and general body skin quality improvement. The treatment is enhanced with the same powerful add-ons available for facial microneedling: PRP, polynucleotides or Sunekos can be infused through the micro-channels created during needling, dramatically amplifying the regenerative response and producing results that neither treatment achieves alone.
A course of four to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended for body areas, reflecting the typically greater extent of concern being treated. Results develop progressively and continue to build for up to six months after the final session.
