WHAT IS DESOBODY®?

DESOBODY® is the next innovative generation of ‘fat dissolvers’ designed to treat and reduce localised ‘pockets’ of fat.

HOW DOES DESOBODY® WORK?

Deoxycholic acid acts on the membrane of fat cells via a mechanism of action known as ‘cell lysis’ (breaking down the cell), literally destroying the cells and solubilising cellular and membrane components. The destroyed fat cells are then broken down and removed naturally from the body via the lymphatic system.

WHAT AREAS / CONDITIONS CAN BE TREATED?

DESOBODY® is used on the body, to improve, slim and contour areas that are generally resistant to exercise. These include:

  • Abdomen (upper / lower stomach fat

  • Love Handles

  • Saddlebags

  • Cellulite

  • Lipomas

  • Upper arms (bingo wings)

  • Buffalo hump (accumulation of fat in the dorsocervical fat pad)

  • Underarm bra fat

  • Stubborn fat pockets resistant to exercise and diet, such as lower abdomen following childbirth

HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?

2-4 sessions at 4-6 weekly intervals is generally needed, depending on the area(s) treated and the amount of fat in each area. Depending on the amount of fatty tissue present, sometimes a single treatment is enough.

HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS LAST?

Destruction of the targeted fat cells is permanent. As long as you then follow a healthy lifestyle and maintain – or lose, rather than gain weight – between treatment sessions and thereafter you will retain your results.

ARE THE RESULTS INSTANT?

The process by which the active substance destroys the fat cells – and also for your body to remove them, takes a little time as your body slowly metabolises and expels the released lipids from the destroyed fat cells. Every client is different, but you can expect to start to see results 3-4 weeks after 1-2 treatments with the final effect approximately eight weeks following your treatment.

IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?

The procedure itself is painless. After 15 minutes, you may experience itching, redness and mild swelling of the treated area(s) – this is because the product is starting to disrupt the fat cells so they release their contents which results in inflammatory necrosis of the cell and reduction in the size of adipocytes (fat cells). Therefore, this initial swelling and redness it is perfectly normal and even expected.

Any redness and discomfort should disappear after around 2 hours. During the next few weeks, there may be sensitivity when the treated fatty tissue is pressed.

IS THERE ANYTHING I SHOULD – OR SHOULDN’T DO – PRIOR TO THE TREATMENT?

We advise you not to drink alcohol or take Ibuprofen within the preceding 24hours of your appointment, as this can increase the risk of bruising.
