Is fat dissolving the same as liposuction?

No. Injectables treat small defined pockets with gradual results. Liposuction removes larger volumes surgically in one procedure.

How much downtime is there?

Expect swelling and tenderness for 3–7 days depending on product and area. Plan around social and work commitments accordingly.

What affects the price

Product brand
Aqualyx (deoxycholic acid) and Lemon Bottle (different formulation) are priced differently. Confirm which product is used.
Treatment area and fat volume
Chin is the most standardised area; abdomen, arms and thighs need more product and cost more.
Number of vials or syringes
Many clinics price by vial count — a large area may need 2–3 vials per session.
Sessions required
Most areas need 2–4 sessions spaced weeks apart. Budget for the full course.
Practitioner oversight
Prescriber-led clinics typically charge more than beauty settings — appropriate for an injectable treatment.

Why can Modelow appointments cost less?

Some clinics offer reduced-price appointments when they need a model for training, demonstrations, content or supervised practice. The lower price reflects the appointment type — not necessarily lower standards.

Prices change and differ between clinics. Confirm the exact treatment, practitioner, inclusions and total cost before you book.

What are fat dissolving injections?

Injectable formulations such as Aqualyx® (synthetic deoxycholic acid) and Lemon Bottle (different formulation) are injected into localised fat to disrupt fat cells, which the body then clears.

They suit small, defined fat pockets — not general weight loss. Double chin is the most common treatment area.

Aqualyx vs Lemon Bottle

Aqualyx is an established deoxycholic acid product with known swelling downtime. Lemon Bottle has grown rapidly in popularity and is often marketed with less downtime — but products and evidence differ.

Confirm which product your clinic uses and that treatment is performed by an appropriate prescriber.

What happens during treatment?

Multiple small injections are placed into the fat pocket. Swelling, tenderness and firmness in the treated area are common for several days — sometimes longer with Aqualyx.

Most areas need 2–4 sessions spaced weeks apart.

Why might model appointments cost less?

Aesthetic training courses sometimes include fat dissolving on model menus. Confirm product, area, prescriber oversight and aftercare before booking.
