Fat Dissolving Injections Darlington

At HL Medical Aesthetics in Darlington, we offer fat dissolving injections to help you target stubborn pockets of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. Delivered by our expert team, Hayley Lamb and Loren, this non-surgical treatment offers a safe and effective way to contour and slim specific areas of the body.

What Are Fat Dissolving Injections?

Fat dissolving injections use a solution — most commonly Aqualyx — that is injected directly into localised fat deposits. The active ingredient works by breaking down the fat cell membrane, causing the fat cells to release their contents, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over the following weeks.

Which Areas Can Be Treated?

• Double chin (submental fat)
• Jowls
• Upper arms (bingo wings)
• Bra fat and back fat
• Abdomen and stomach
• Flanks (love handles)
• Inner and outer thighs
• Knees

What to Expect

Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation to assess your suitability and discuss your goals. A topical anaesthetic may be applied to the treatment area for comfort. The fat dissolving solution is then injected into the targeted fat deposits using fine needles. The area may feel warm, swollen, and tender for several days after treatment — this is a normal part of the process as the body begins to break down the fat cells.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

Most clients require 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results. The number of sessions depends on the size of the area being treated and the amount of fat present. Results develop gradually over 6–12 weeks as the body eliminates the dissolved fat cells.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it painful?

Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising is normal after fat dissolving injections. We apply a topical anaesthetic to minimise discomfort during the procedure. The treated area may remain tender for several days post-treatment.

Are the results permanent?

Yes — once fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent remaining fat cells from expanding.

How long until I see results?

Results develop gradually over 6–12 weeks as the body naturally eliminates the dissolved fat. Most clients see noticeable improvement after their second session.

Am I suitable for fat dissolving injections?

Fat dissolving injections are suitable for adults who are at or near their target weight and have localised pockets of stubborn fat. They are not a weight loss treatment. A full consultation is required to confirm suitability.

Can fat dissolving be combined with other treatments?

Yes — fat dissolving pairs well with HIFU for skin tightening in the treated area, and with anti-wrinkle treatments for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation approach.
