FAT-DISSOLVING INJECTIONS
WHAT ARE FAT-DISSOLVING INJECTIONS?
At Secret Society Aesthetics, we use Lipo Lab, which is a safe-to-use direct phosphatidylcholine-based lipolytic which is made of high-quality raw ingredients to dissolve fatty deposits. The main ingredient in this 'fat melter' is PPC sodium deoxycholate which makes Lipo Lab an easier and time-efficient alternative to other weight management solutions.
Our fat-dissolving injections not only reduce fat cells, but they also attack and destroy them which allows for a more permanent solution to alternative treatments. It accelerated your metabolism and melts away fatty deposits in a natural way, it not only melts fat but it increases elasticity and removes cellulitis. The best part is that you start seeing results within 3 days of the first treatment.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The entire session will last between 15 - 45 minutes depending on how many areas are to be treated. The fat-dissolving injection will be injected into the fatty tissue in the area of concern where it will surround the fat cells and destroy them to allow your body to deposit it as waste.

Based on your answers, we will discuss if the treatment is best for you and will run through any concerns you may have.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME IN?
Topical numbing cream will be applied to the target area and we will administer multiple fat-dissolving injections (containing Lipo Lab) in the problem areas. This typically takes 15 minutes per area.
HOW DO I PREPARE FOR MY APPOINTMENT?
We suggest that you avoid any special occasions within a 14-day period of the procedure, this gives time for any residual bruising or swelling to subside.
To prevent additional bruising and bleeding around the injection site, we recommend avoiding taking aspirin and any anti-inflammatory medications, please check with your doctor if you take blood thinners before stopping any medication.
Arnica supplements can be taken pre-emptively and following the procedure to reduce discomfort and bruising.
Please avoid working out or going to the gym ahead of the appointment to avoid having flushed skin which can increase bruising potential due to the blood being at the surface of the skin.
Please also arrive without makeup on your skin and avoid any alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to the appointment to avoid more bruising and swelling.
DO I NEED ANY DOWNTIME?
After your treatment, you should be able to return to your normal ‘light’ activities, including driving and getting back to work.
We do recommend that you avoid wearing make-up for 24 hours if your face is treated and that you take a day off from strenuous physical exercise, such as visiting the gym or playing your favourite sport. Also, avoid showering or washing the area for 8 hours following the procedure, and please avoid saunas or a steamy bath, as well as intense sun or UV light, for 5 days. The consumption of alcohol and caffeine 24 hours before or following the treatment is not recommended (for optimal results, abstain from alcohol for 7 days prior to and after the treatment). Drink lots of water to aid in flushing out for the first 24 hours.
Paracetamol can be used for pain however we recommend avoiding anti-inflammatory medications, you can also use ice to cool the area intermittently for 5 minutes following the procedure.
Massaging the area for about 15 minutes a day for 2 weeks after the procedure can aid the process of fat reduction.
ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO BE AWARE OF?
There may be slight redness, bruising, swelling, itchiness, or tenderness in the treatment area, this is normal and temporary. You may experience warmth or be sensitive to pressure as well. Occasionally, nodules will occur (small lumps), they can last for up to a month and usually disappear without any medical intervention.
If you have facial herpes (cold sores etc), there is a possibility that injections to the face could cause a reaction.
HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?
For best results, depending on the size of the area to be treated, we recommend at least 2 - 3 sessions spaced 6 - 8 weeks apart.
