Targeted Fat Reduction Without Surgery
Medically reviewed by the Derma Luma medical team · Last updated: October 2026
How Does the Fat Dissolving Injection Work?
The fat dissolving injection (injection lipolysis) is a non-surgical method for reducing stubborn fat deposits. The active ingredient deoxycholic acid permanently destroys fat cells, which the body then naturally eliminates. Ideal for localized fat deposits that persist despite exercise and diet.
Treatment Areas
Applications
Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in bile that dissolves fats. When injected into fat tissue, it destroys the cell membranes of fat cells. The result is permanent, as fat cells do not regenerate.
Double chin (most common indication), stomach (small fat deposits), hips (love handles), thighs (inner thighs and saddlebags), upper arms, inner knees.

For the double chin, swelling can last 3-7 days; for body areas, usually a bit longer. A compression chin strap can help.
