Lipolysis Injections
Book NowLipolysis injections, also known as fat-dissolving injections, are a non-surgical treatment designed to break down and eliminate localized fat deposits. Most commonly used under the chin or along the jawline, this injectable solution contains deoxycholic acid—a compound that naturally occurs in the body and helps absorb fat. At Platinum Medical Spa, lipolysis injections are a safe, effective way to contour and slim stubborn areas that don't respond to diet or exercise.
Avoid alcohol, blood thinners, NSAIDs (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen, fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba) for 5–7 days before treatment unless approved by your provider. Inform your provider if you are on anticoagulants, supplements, or any medications that may increase bleeding or bruising risk.
Stay well hydrated and eat a light meal before your appointment. Avoid caffeine or stimulants if you are sensitive, as they may increase discomfort during treatment.

Inform your provider if you have autoimmune disease, inflammatory skin conditions, bleeding disorders, history of keloids, or active bacterial, viral, or fungal infections.
Arrive with clean skin and avoid tight clothing. Avoid applying lotions, oils, or skincare products to the treatment area prior to your appointment.
Mild swelling is expected. Plan your schedule accordingly. Avoid scheduling important social events for several days after treatment due to potential swelling, bruising, or tenderness.
Inform your provider of your full medical history including medications, supplements, allergies, prior cosmetic procedures, and previous surgery in the treatment area.

No incisions, no anesthesia, and no scars—just injections.
Once destroyed, treated fat cells are gone for good.
Ideal for sculpting small, targeted areas with precision.
Most clients experience only mild swelling or bruising.
Your session begins with a consultation to determine whether lipolysis injections are the right solution for your aesthetic goals. After cleaning and marking the area, small injections are placed just under the skin. The treatment takes around 20-30 minutes. Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness is normal and often means the product is actively working to break down fat. Most clients need 2-4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal, long-lasting results.
Swelling, firmness, and tenderness are expected and part of the process. You may also experience redness, bruising, itching, tingling, numbness, nodules, or areas of hardness. These effects are temporary but may last several days to weeks.
Do not touch, rub, or apply pressure to the treated area for at least 6 hours. Avoid manipulating the area unless instructed by your provider.
Avoid skincare products and keep the area clean and dry for 24 hours; gently massage the area with clean hands as instructed. Avoid applying heat, ice, or topical products unless directed by your provider.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 3–5 days, heat exposure such as saunas or hot tubs for 48 hours, and tight or compressive clothing on the treated area. Avoid alcohol for at least 24–48 hours post-treatment.
Drink plenty of water to support fat metabolism and recovery. Maintain a healthy lifestyle to optimize results.
Results develop gradually over 4–8 weeks. Multiple treatments may be required and results are not guaranteed or permanent. Contact your provider immediately if you experience severe pain, signs of infection, difficulty swallowing, asymmetry, prolonged numbness, allergic reaction, or any unusual symptoms. In case of emergency outside clinic hours, seek immediate medical care.
