Swelling comes before improvement. Results develop over several weeks and more than one session may be needed. Weight change after treatment can alter the overall contour.
Fat-dissolving injections
Fat-dissolving products are injected into selected localised areas to disrupt fat cells, which are then cleared gradually by the body. They are not a weight-loss treatment and results vary by product and area.
