DESOBODY contains the active ingredient sodium deoxycholate (deoxycholic acid), a synthetic form of a substance that your body makes and uses to absorb fat (bile salt). DESOBODY is FDA approved, and is safer, more effective, and more comfortable than other, older fat dissolvers on the market such as AQUALYX, due to the removal of phosphatidylcholine.
DESOBODY®️ is the next innovative generation of ‘fat dissolvers’ designed to treat and reduce localised ‘pockets’ of fat.
DESOBODY® is the latest generation of injectable fat-dissolving treatment. It contains sodium deoxycholate (deoxycholic acid), an FDA-approved medical detergent that selectively breaks down fat cells. Clinical studies show it to be safer, more effective, and more comfortable than older fat-dissolving products such as Aqualyx.
Previously, phosphatidylcholine was believed to be the active fat-reducing agent and remains present in some older formulations. However, current evidence demonstrates that deoxycholic acid, not phosphatidylcholine, is responsible for the breakdown and reduction of adipose (fat) tissue.
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 – NON-SURGICAL TUMMY TUCK)
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
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.
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.
The active substance gradually destroys fat cells, after which the body naturally metabolises and eliminates the released lipids. As individual responses vary, visible results typically begin to appear within 3–4 weeks after 1–2 treatments, with final results usually seen around eight weeks post-treatment.
Depends upon the area(s) being treated. Under the chin takes around 30 minutes, whereas treating the abdomen or thighs may take a little longer.
The procedure itself is painless. Mild redness, itching, or swelling may occur shortly after treatment as the fat cells begin to break down; this is a normal and expected response. These effects usually resolve within a few hours. Some tenderness may be felt when pressure is applied to the treated area over the following weeks.
We advise you not to drink alcohol or take Ibuprofen within the preceding 24 hours of your appointment, as this can increase the risk of bruising.
Do not massage the treated area for 48 hours following treatment
Some clients prefer to keep the treated areas well supported. Light compression garments can be purchased cheaply on the high street (we will advise of you of where to get these in clinic). Alternatively, we can supply garments (there will be a fee for this if needed).
If you have bruised, do NOT expose the area to UV light until all bruising is gone (around 2 weeks)
Do NOT use a sauna for 2 weeks
Do NOT have any other treatment(s) on the area for at least 2 weeks
Common side effects are related to the injection and may include mild discomfort or a temporary burning sensation.
Redness and discomfort usually settle within two hours, although mild tenderness may last up to 48 hours. Swelling, redness, and bruising are common and can persist for several days. Bruising may feel warm, which is a normal response.
Some sensitivity may be felt when pressure is applied to the treated area in the following weeks. Temporary nodules occur in fewer than 10% of patients and typically resolve on their own within one month.
There is a theoretical risk of infection, but this is extremely rare due to the aseptic technique used during the procedure. It has never occurred.
Allergic reaction – the risk of this is less than 0.002%.
Irregularities – the risk of this is less than 0.03%.
Parasthesia / dysesthesia – the risk of this is less than 0.01%
Hyperpigmentation – the risk of this is less than 0.002%
Permanent nodules – the risk of this is less than 0.005%
Skin necrosis – the risk of this is less than 0.0076%
You cannot have DESOBODY if:
You are pregnant.
You are breastfeeding.
You are under 18 years of age.
You are allergic to soy or vitamin B.
You have any hormonal disease
You have any organ disease
You suffer from cross reactivity towards self antigens

Our clinician will advise as to whether DESOBODY is suitable for you. There must be more than 3cm of ‘pinchable’ fat in the area(s) to be treated.
DESOBODY is a prescription only medication and therefore a consultation prior to the day of treatment is required. You can book a consultation below.
