Fat Dissolvers

Polished MedSpa has a completely non-surgical way to treat any unwanted fat, to any part of your body! Our lipolysis injections are used to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fullness below the chin/”double chin”, abdomen, underarm, breast area or “bra bulge”, upper back, really anywhere you have unwanted fat! The active ingredient deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Injecting into the fat cells causes immediate destruction of the fat cells, permanently! The dissolved fat then gets cleared by the lymphatic and circulatory systems, as any waste product in our bodies does. The targeted fat cells remove themselves gradually over the span of several weeks.

Lauren Hebert DNP, APRN will be happy to help customize your own lipolysis treatment regimen, including how many treatments you need, based on preexisting fullness to the areas of concern. Most patients experience visible results in 1-3 treatment sessions spaced no less than one month apart (all depending on the amount of fat being injected).
