Fat Dissolving Injections in Edmonton
At Rejuvenation Dermatology in Edmonton, Dr. Russ Wong personally performs fat dissolving injections to help patients achieve more defined body contours without surgery. Using clinically proven injectable solutions that target stubborn fat deposits, this treatment offers a safe and effective approach to body sculpting.
Whether you’re concerned about a double chin, submental fat, or small pockets of fat that haven’t responded to diet or exercise, fat dissolving injections offer a minimally invasive solution tailored to your goals.
Fat Dissolving Injections: What They Are and What to Expect
Fat dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid, a compound naturally found in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When injected into targeted treatment areas, this ingredient disrupts and destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. This non-surgical treatment is ideal for patients looking for targeted fat reduction in small, localised areas. Common treatment areas include small, stubborn pockets of fat such as the double chin, jawline, and areas of mild fullness around the lower face. In some cases, DCA injections may also be used to refine areas like bra fat or the abdomen, but suitability depends on fat distribution and skin quality. The treatment may offer mild skin tightening as fat breaks down and the area heals. A consultation is essential to determine if you’re a good candidate.
Your experience begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Wong to assess your goals and determine if fat dissolving injections are right for you. He will create a customised treatment plan based on the size of the fat deposits, your facial or body structure, and your desired outcome. During the procedure, deoxycholic acid is injected into the targeted area using a series of fine needles. You may feel a mild tingling or warmth at the injection site, and some injection sites may show minor swelling or bruising post-treatment. Depending on your needs, a series of treatment sessions—usually spaced a few weeks apart - may be recommended for optimal results. Most patients begin to see noticeable fat reduction within 2 to 4 sessions.
IS IT RIGHT FOR ME?
Fat dissolving injections are ideal for individuals who are already near their target weight but want to refine specific areas where stubborn fat tends to linger - such as under the chin, along the jawline, or in small pockets on the body.
These injectable treatments are not designed for significant weight loss, but instead serve as a targeted solution for enhancing facial or body contours where diet and exercise may fall short.
If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to reduce localised fat and improve definition, this treatment may be a suitable option. It can also be combined with other aesthetic procedures, such as hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers or skin tightening treatments, to create a more sculpted, balanced look.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your facial anatomy, medical history, and goals to determine if fat dissolving injections align with your overall treatment plan - always prioritising natural-looking, safe, and effective outcomes.
