Fat Melting Injections FDA Approved, Blue Area, Islamabad
If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to eliminate stubborn fat, fat-dissolving injections might be the right solution for you. One of the most recognized options globally is based on synthetic deoxycholic acid, a fat-destroying substance that has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use—especially for submental fat, commonly known as a double chin.
But how safe are these injections? Where can they be used? And are the results permanent? Let’s explore all the details below.
✅ What Are Fat Melting Injections?
Fat melting injections, often referred to as lipolytic or fat-dissolving injections, contain deoxycholic acid—a naturally occurring bile acid in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
These injections destroy fat cells permanently, allowing your body to metabolize and flush them out over time.
⚖️ Are They FDA Approved?
Yes. The U.S. FDA has approved deoxycholic acid injections for treating submental fullness (fat under the chin). While its approved use is specifically for this area, many aesthetic clinics and dermatologists safely use it in other areas off-label, including:
- Jawline
- Abdomen
- Arms
- Thighs
- Bra line
- Back
- Knees
It is essential to receive treatment only from licensed medical professionals trained in cosmetic procedures.
💡 How Do Fat Melting Injections Work?
These injections target and destroy fat cell membranes. Once these cells are broken down, the body processes and removes them naturally.
Procedure Time: 20 to 45 minutes
Downtime: Minimal (some swelling/bruising may occur)
Results: Permanent fat reduction if a healthy weight is maintained

🔁 How Many Sessions Are Required?

- The treatment area

- Desired contouring results
A personalized plan is developed by your dermatologist after consultation.

🆚 Kybella vs. CoolSculpting – What’s the Difference?
- Kybella (Fat Melting Injections): Uses chemical agents to dissolve fat
- CoolSculpting (Cryolipolysis): Freezes fat cells to trigger natural elimination
Both methods are effective, but fat melting injections allow more precise targeting, especially for small and delicate areas like the chin or face.
