Fat Dissolving Injections in Gurgaon
Fat dissolving injections, also called lipolysis, break down small pockets of stubborn fat without surgery. They suit small areas such as under the chin, upper arms, bra line and flanks. Your dermatologist checks whether you have the kind of fat that injections can treat, and tells you honestly if another option would serve you better.
In short
Fat dissolving injections at House of Aetheria, Sector 65, Gurugram, use a fat-dissolving compound placed in small areas of stubborn fat, such as under the chin, upper arms, bra line, flanks and thighs. Most people need around 2 to 4 sessions, a few weeks apart, with mild swelling for several days and no surgery. The treated fat cells are cleared by the body, and results last when your weight stays stable.

Straight talk
What results look like
Most people notice a difference after the second session, once swelling has settled. Results depend on the size of the fat pocket and how many sessions you have. Injections suit small areas. For a larger amount of fat, or loose skin, surgery or another treatment may give a better result. Our surgeon explains the options on our liposuction page.
