Yes, fat-dissolving injections are a safe and effective way of destroying fat cells. The fat cells are then excreted by the lymphatic system naturally.

The fat-dissolving product works to break down the membranes of the fat cells beneath the skin, causing them to become unstable and eventually flush out via the lymphatic system. This process may take around 4-6 weeks.

Longevity of the HA fillers depends on factors such as:

• The density of the filler
• Injection area
• Patient’s metabolism

All the dermal fillers used at Perfectly Applied are semi-long lasting and made from hyaluronic acid, which breaks down and is absorbed into the skin after around 6 to 18 months.

Hyaluronic acid fillers, can be quickly dissolved using an enzyme known as hyaluronidase. This acts to disperse hyaluronic acid, speeding up the natural breakdown of the dermal filler. The use of hyaluronidase to remove fillers is off-license, so your practitioner will only go ahead if it is “in the best interest of the patient on the basis of available evidence”.

Many people find their procedure at Perfectly Applied more comfortable than expected. You will be pre anesthetised with a topical lidocaine cream and most dermal fillers contain a local anaesthetic. Our practitioners are highly skilled and precise; you should merely feel a light sting on your skin during the injection procedure.
