Fat Dissolving
What Is Fat Dissolving?
Fat dissolving injections (also known as lipolytic injections) are a non-surgical way to target stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise. The treatment uses a solution - typically based on deoxycholic acid - which breaks down fat cells in the treated area. These cells are then naturally flushed away by the lymphatic system over the following weeks.
At Crystal Skin Aesthetics, we offer fat dissolving injections for the double chin, jawline, and select body areas, allowing for gentle, effective sculpting with minimal downtime.
What Does It Treat?
- Double chin
- Jawline definition (jowls or lower cheek fat)
- Bra bulges (front or back)
- Abdomen
- Love handles (flanks)
- Inner thighs
- Upper arms ("bingo wings")
- Small stubborn areas that resist toning
Note: This is not for general weight loss, but for shaping and refining specific areas.
Who Is It For?
Perfect for those who:
✔ Are healthy but have stubborn fat pockets
✔ Struggle with a double chin despite being slim

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the fat come back?
No - once fat cells are destroyed, they don’t come back. However, remaining fat cells can still expand, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key.
Does it hurt?
You may feel a slight sting during injection and swelling afterward. Most clients say the discomfort is very manageable and short-lived.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on the area and your goals. On average, 2–4 sessions are recommended for best results.
Can it be used instead of jawline filler?
Yes and no. Fat dissolving can reveal your natural jawline by removing excess fat, while filler adds structure. Many clients do both - starting with fat dissolving, then enhancing definition later.
