Fat Dissolving in BirminghamTarget Stubborn Pockets, No Surgery

The clearest sign is a localised pocket of fat that has not shifted despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. A double chin is the most common one — the fat sits under the chin and does not respond to weight loss because it is genetic, not lifestyle-related. Other areas include stubborn fat on the jawline, under the arms, or on the stomach and thighs.

Fat dissolving is not for overall weight loss. It is for people who are at or near their target weight but have specific areas that will not respond to anything else. If you have a double chin that has been there for years regardless of your weight, or a small pocket of fat on the jawline that softens your profile, fat dissolving can target that area directly. A consultation will confirm whether the concern is fat, skin, or structure — because each needs a different treatment.

Fat dissolving injections break down fat cells in the targeted area, which are then naturally removed by the body over the following weeks. The chin is the most common treatment area, from £120. The jawline and neck are also treated from £120 per area. For body areas, the stomach and thighs are from £180, arms from £150, and legs from £180.

A course of two to three sessions is usually needed, spaced four to six weeks apart. The results are permanent for the treated fat cells — they do not come back. However, maintaining a stable weight is important, as weight gain can create new fat in the same area. Your consultation will confirm how many sessions you are likely to need and what result to expect.

For clients whose double chin is caused by skin laxity rather than fat, Profhilo or Nefertiti Neck Lift may be more appropriate. We will tell you honestly which treatment your concern needs. For overall facial definition, see our Injectable Treatments page.

Local expertise matters with fat dissolving because the diagnosis has to be right. A double chin can be caused by fat, skin laxity, or bone structure — and each needs a different treatment. Hafsa Ashadu-Campbell has over 13 years of NHS clinical experience and will assess the cause before recommending treatment.

Your appointment starts with a consultation. We assess the area, confirm that the concern is fat rather than skin or structure, and agree on a treatment plan. The injections are placed directly into the fat pocket. Most people describe a stinging sensation that passes within minutes.

You will have swelling in the treated area for a few days, which is a sign the product is working. The fat cells break down over the following weeks. A second session is usually booked four to six weeks later. The full price is published upfront, and a 20% deposit holds your appointment.

The most important thing with fat dissolving is getting the diagnosis right — fat, skin, or structure. We tell you honestly which one you have before recommending treatment. Every treatment includes a consultation with no obligation to book on the day. Every price is published upfront. We plan the full course with you so you know the total cost before you start. We are fully insured and will say no if a different treatment would serve you better.
