Fat Dissolving Injections in Harrow
Fat-dissolving injections are a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce localised pockets of fat that can remain despite changes to diet, exercise and overall weight.
At Medcura in Harrow, treatment begins with a detailed assessment of the area, your anatomy and the amount of localised fat present. This allows us to determine whether fat dissolving is appropriate and create a realistic treatment plan around the result you want to achieve.

Our Fat Dissolving Treatments
Treatment is divided into small and large areas, with the amount of product, injection pattern and number of sessions determined by the area being treated and your individual anatomy.
Fat Dissolving - Double Chin (Small Area) | 30 mins
A targeted treatment for localised fat beneath the chin (submental fat), designed to reduce fullness and create greater definition through the chin and jawline.
Fat cells within the treated area are disrupted and gradually processed by the body, with improvement developing progressively over the weeks following treatment. More than one session may be recommended depending on the amount of submental fat present.
Fat Dissolving — Body (Large Area) | 60 mins
Designed for larger areas of localised body fat, including:
- Abdomen (tummy)
- Flanks (love handles/sides)
- Upper arms
- Inner thighs
Treatment is carefully mapped across the selected area to reduce localised fat and improve contour. Results develop gradually as the body processes the disrupted fat cells, with the number of sessions determined following assessment.
Is Fat Dissolving Right for You?
Not every treatment suits every person. This is who tends to see the best results, and who we’d advise to explore other options first.
Suitable For
- You have stubborn fat on the chin, stomach, sides, thighs, or upper arms that has not shifted with diet or training
- You are at or close to your target weight and want to reshape one specific area, not lose overall weight
- You want fat reduction injections that deliver gradual, natural-looking results over four to eight weeks
- For any skin tone, including darker skin, the treatment does not affect pigmentation.
- You are comfortable with more than one session to reach your preferred result
Not Suitable If
- You have an active skin infection or broken skin in the area to be treated
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are on blood-thinning medication; GP clearance is required before fat removal injections can go ahead.
- If you have a lipid disorder or autoimmune condition, suitability is confirmed at your consultation.
What Changes After Fat Dissolving Treatment
Fat-dissolving injections work progressively. Visible results develop over weeks and months as the body processes the treated fat, with improvement continuing to build well after the final session.
Reduced Fullness in Targeted Areas
Localised fat pockets gradually reduce in volume as the body clears disrupted cells through its lymphatic drainage process. Many clients notice visible change within four to eight weeks of their first session.
Sharper Jawline and Chin Definition
As submental and jawline deposits reduce, the underlying bone structure becomes more visible. The chin-to-neck transition sharpens and lower-face definition improves without adding volume or altering facial proportions.
Improved Abdominal Contour
Persistent abdominal pockets that have not responded to lifestyle changes may reduce progressively across a course of large-area treatment. The overall silhouette becomes more refined as the body processes the treated fat over time.
Progressive, Long-Lasting Change
Results continue to develop for up to three months after each session as fat clearance completes. With stable weight maintained after treatment, the improvement is considered long-lasting, as disrupted fat cells do not regenerate.
A Non-Surgical Route to Contouring
Every treatment plan starts with a full anatomical assessment, built around your body, not a standard template. No surgery, no recovery time.
Why Choose Medcura for Fat Dissolving?
Fat-dissolving treatment should be clinically assessed and carefully planned rather than approached as a standard injection procedure.
Before treatment, we assess your anatomy, the distribution of fat, medical suitability and whether fat dissolving is capable of achieving the result you are looking for. Your practitioner will also discuss the likely number of sessions, expected recovery and realistic outcome before you commit to treatment.
Fat cells destroyed through treatment do not regenerate; however, remaining fat cells can still increase in size with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight therefore helps preserve the improvement achieved.
