FAQs
Thinking about trying fat dissolving injections but not sure where to begin? You’re in the right place! Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about fat loss injections, non-surgical fat reduction, and everything in between.
1. What are fat dissolving injections?
Fat dissolving injections are non-surgical treatments that use compounds like deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine to break down and eliminate stubborn fat cells from targeted areas of the body.
2. How do fat loss injections work?
These injections are administered directly into the fatty layer under the skin. The solution breaks down fat cell membranes, allowing the body to flush them out naturally through the lymphatic system.
3. What areas of the body can be treated?
Common treatment areas include:
- Double chin
- Lower abdomen
- Love handles
- Thighs
- Upper arms
- Back fat (bra bulge)
4. Is the treatment painful?
Most patients report only mild discomfort during the procedure—similar to a pinprick or a warm sensation. Numbing cream is often applied beforehand to make the process more comfortable.
5. How many sessions will I need?
Results vary per person, but typically 3 to 6 sessions are recommended for optimal results. Sessions are usually spaced 1–2 weeks apart.
6. When will I start seeing results?
You may start noticing visible changes within 2 to 4 weeks after your first session. Full results usually appear after your final session.
7. Are fat dissolving injections safe?
Yes, when administered by a certified professional, the treatment is considered safe. Mild side effects like swelling, redness, and tenderness are common but temporary.
8. Are these injections permanent?|
Yes—destroyed fat cells do not return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to preventing new fat cells from forming in other areas.
9. Who is a good candidate for fat dissolving injections?
This treatment is ideal for individuals close to their ideal weight who are struggling with localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise.
10. Can fat dissolving injections help me lose weight overall?
No. These injections are for body contouring, not weight loss. They help with shaping and sculpting—not replacing exercise or a balanced diet.
11. Is there any downtime after the procedure?
Downtime is minimal. Some swelling or bruising might occur, but most people can return to daily activities the same or next day.
12. What’s the difference between Lipo Lab, Aqualyx, and Kybella?
- Lipo Lab is a Korean brand known for affordability and wide usage.

14. How much do fat dissolving injections cost in Pakistan?
Prices vary by clinic, brand used, and treatment area. On average, a single session may cost between PKR 8,000 to 15,000.
15. Can these injections be combined with other treatments?
Yes. They are often combined with radiofrequency skin tightening, mesotherapy, or cavitation for enhanced body sculpting and skin firmness.
16. Are there any side effects or risks?
Temporary side effects may include:
- Swelling
- Redness
- Mild pain
- Bruising
Rarely, uneven results or infection can occur—only when performed incorrectly. Always choose a qualified provider.

18. Can I get injections if I have a medical condition?
People with liver/kidney issues, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those with skin infections should avoid treatment unless cleared by a doctor.
