About this treatment

DesoBody Cardiff | Non-Surgical Fat Dissolving Injections Diet and exercise can only do so much, and some pockets of fat don't shift however hard you work. DesoBody treats exactly that: stubborn, localised fat on the abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, back and bra line. How it works DesoBody contains sodium deoxycholate, a synthetic form of a substance your body already produces to help digest fat. Injected into the treated area, it breaks down the walls of fat cells so their contents are cleared naturally through your lymphatic system over the following weeks. Deoxycholic acid is the most studied of the injectable fat dissolvers, with published clinical trials behind it. What to expect A course is usually three sessions, spaced around four weeks apart, giving your body time to clear each round of treated fat cells. Results build gradually rather than appearing straight away. Fat cells that are broken down are cleared by the body, though the cells that remain can still grow if you gain weight, so a stable weight helps maintain your result. Commonly treated areas: abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms, back rolls and the bra line. Prices by area, for a course of three sessions Double chin £349, bingo wings £499, bra fat £499, upper or lower abdomen £499, full abdomen £899, love handles £799, saddlebags £799, buffalo hump £799. Why people choose it No surgery, no general anaesthetic and little downtime. It works with your body's own fat clearing process, and it suits people who don't want or need liposuction. Side effects Swelling, bruising and tenderness at the injection sites are common for a few days, and swelling is usually greater than with Lemon Bottle. Less common effects include firmness, numbness and uneven results, all of which we discuss before treatment. All treatments are carried out by GMC / NMC-registered medical professionals, after a full consultation to assess your suitability. A £50 deposit secures your booking.
