Sculpt Your Silhouette with Fat Dissolving Injections
You’re doing everything right – eating well, staying active, taking care of yourself – but some areas of stubborn fat just won’t shift. Whether it’s a double chin, love handles or post-surgical pockets, these persistent zones can affect how you feel in your skin.
At LHP, we understand that true body confidence comes from feeling in harmony with your shape. That’s why we offer Deso Face® and Deso Body® – advanced fat dissolving injections designed to target and reduce localised fat deposits with precision.
Using the latest innovations in aesthetic medicine, these non-surgical treatments help contour and sculpt your silhouette with minimal downtime and beautifully natural results. Our expert Nurse Prescriber, Laura, will guide you through a personalised plan tailored to your body goals – so you can feel smoother, sleeker and more confident in your skin.
Precision Contouring with Deso Face® & Deso Body®
What makes Deso Face® and Deso Body® stand out is their tailored approach. With separate concentrations for facial and body treatments, these fat dissolving solutions work intelligently to break down fat while improving skin firmness and tone.
Deso Face® is perfect for delicate areas like the chin and jawline, helping to drain excess fluid and reduce puffiness for a more refined profile. Deso Body®, on the other hand, targets larger areas such as the abdomen, thighs, flanks and arms—sculpting your curves and smoothing your contours without the need for surgery.
At LHP, we combine clinical expertise with aesthetic artistry to ensure every treatment is customised to your body and your goals. The result? A beautifully contoured look that feels as good as it looks.
What Is Fat Dissolving and How Does It Work?
Deso Face® and Deso Body® are prescription-only fat dissolving injections formulated with sodium deoxycholate, caffeine and equisetum. These ingredients work together to emulsify fat cells, stimulate lipid breakdown and promote drainage of excess fluid.
The treatment is designed to reduce stubborn fat in areas like the chin, abdomen, thighs, flanks and arms. While the results are permanent, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent remaining fat cells from expanding.
Do Fat Dissolving Injections Work?
Yes – fat dissolving injections like Deso Face and Deso Body have been clinically proven to reduce localised fat deposits and improve skin firmness. Results vary by individual, but most clients see noticeable improvements after a series of treatments.
Are Fat Dissolving Injections Safe?
When administered by a qualified professional, fat dissolving injections are considered safe. Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary swelling, redness or tenderness. At LHP, your safety is our priority, and every treatment is carried out with precision and care.
What to Expect During Your Deso Treatment
Your treatment begins with a consultation and careful mapping of the target area. A numbing agent is applied before the product is injected into the fatty tissue. Deso’s advanced formulation allows for fewer injection points and less discomfort compared to traditional fat dissolving treatments.
You may feel a mild burning sensation for up to an hour post-treatment as the product begins to work. Most clients find the procedure well-tolerated and return to normal activities shortly after.
Who Can Have Fat Dissolving Injections?
Deso Face® and Deso Body® are ideal for individuals with stubborn fat deposits who are at or near a healthy weight. These treatments are not suitable for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have certain medical conditions such as liver or kidney disease, blood clotting disorders or active infections.
