Fat Dissolving (Lemon Bottle)

Fat dissolving injections are a safe and effective treatment designed to target stubborn fat cells resistant to exercise. These injections offer long-lasting results and are particularly effective for body contouring. They can help eliminate persistent fat pockets in various areas such as the chin, arms, back (love handles), abdomen, calves, and thighs.

How does it work?

These injections contain deoxycholic acid, a bile salt naturally produced by the gallbladder. Deoxycholic acid works by breaking down fat cells that accumulate in the body. From there, the fat is metabolized by the liver and naturally excreted from the body over a period of 3 to 6 weeks.

What areas can I treat with Lemon Bottle?

  • Double chin (submental fat)

  • Back fat, including bra bulges

  • Arm fat 

  • Stomach fat 

  • Love handles (flanks)

  • Waist and abdominal area

  • Inner and outer thighs

  • Area under the buttocks (banana roll)

  • Bingo wings (upper arm fat)

  • Fat accumulation around the knees or above the knees

Who is suitable for Lemon Bottle treatment?

Lemon Bottle treatment is generally suitable for individuals who are in good health and do not have any skin diseases or infections in the treated area. However, there are certain situations where fat dissolving injections may not be recommended:

  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: this treatment is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Lipodystrophy: Individuals diagnosed with lipodystrophy, a medical condition characterized by abnormal or degenerative conditions of the body's fat tissue, should avoid the fat dissolving treatment.

  • Immunocompromised Individuals: this treatment is also not recommended for individuals who are immunocompromised, such as those with type 1 diabetes or other conditions that weaken the immune system.

How long will my results last?

The results of Lemon Bottle fat dissolving injections are considered permanent as long as weight remains stable. This means maintaining a consistent weight through healthy eating habits and regular exercise. 

How many Treatments do I Need?

Most patients typically undergo 3-6 Lemon Bottle treatments, with each session spaced 2-4 weeks apart. The entire procedure usually lasts around 30-45 minutes, and you can resume your normal activities immediately afterwards

What are the Side Effects?

Compared to more invasive procedures like liposuction, individuals treated with Lemon Bottle typically experience minimal side effects. Common side effects may include swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area, which usually subsides within 7 days after treatment.

Essential Tips for Optimal Results

After your fat dissolving treatment, it's important to follow these guidelines:

  • Avoid applying cosmetics to the treated area for at least 12 hours after the procedure.

  • Stay away from direct sources of heat and radiation, including sunlight, UV radiation, and saunas, as these can exacerbate swelling and discomfort.

  • Refrain from engaging in strenuous physical exercise for at least 7 days following the treatment to allow for proper healing.

  • Maintain a healthy diet to support the body's natural processes of converting released fatty acids into energy. This helps prevent the fat from being stored in alternative fat depots.

 

Following these instructions can help optimize the results of your treatment and minimize the risk of complications. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms after the procedure, be sure to consult with your healthcare provider promptly.
