Do fat dissolving injections permanently remove fat?

Yes. Aqualyx and similar fat dissolving treatments destroy fat cells, which the body then naturally processes and eliminates. Once those cells are gone, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to prevent remaining fat cells from enlarging.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on the area and the amount of fat. Most clients require 2 to 4 sessions for fat dissolving treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. EMS body sculpting is typically done as a course of 4 to 6 sessions.

Is there any downtime?

Fat dissolving treatments can cause swelling, tenderness and mild bruising for up to a week. EMS body sculpting has no downtime at all, so you can return to your normal activities immediately.

Am I a good candidate for these treatments?

These treatments are designed for people at or close to their ideal weight who want to target specific areas. They are not a weight loss solution. A consultation will help determine whether you are a suitable candidate.

Concern

Stubborn Fat

Target resistant pockets of fat that refuse to shift, without surgery, scars or significant downtime.

Understanding Stubborn Fat

Stubborn fat is the kind that does not respond to diet or exercise no matter how consistent you are. It tends to sit in specific areas, such as under the chin, on the flanks, around the abdomen or on the inner thighs, and can be incredibly frustrating when the rest of your body is where you want it to be.

These resistant fat deposits are often genetic. Your body is simply programmed to store fat in certain places, and no amount of clean eating or gym sessions will shift it. This is where non-surgical body contouring can make a real difference.

At Visage Medispa, we offer targeted treatments that break down fat cells, improve muscle tone and sculpt the body without surgery. Whether you are looking to refine a double chin, smooth your waistline or tone your abdomen, our approach is precise, progressive and tailored to your body goals.

Common Causes

01Genetic predisposition to localised fat storage

02Hormonal imbalances (cortisol, oestrogen)

03Age-related metabolic slowdown

04Post-pregnancy body changes

05Sedentary lifestyle combined with targeted fat resistance

06Difficulty losing the last few stubborn pockets
