Fat Dissolving Injections in Harrow
Stubborn fat doesn’t always respond to diet or exercise. Fat-dissolving injections break down targeted deposits directly, clearing what nothing else can reach. At Medcura, every session starts with a full-body assessment. Treatment only begins when the right approach is confirmed.

The Treatment
What Are Fat Dissolving Injections?
Some areas hold onto fat regardless of physical activity. The chin, inner thighs, flanks, and upper arms are the most common areas that diet and training rarely shift.
Fat-dissolving injections at Medcura Clinic use a clinically studied formulation, among the best fat-removal injections available in the UK. The compound breaks down fat cells directly. The body then clears them naturally over four to eight weeks.
Every fat removal injection treatment at Medcura begins with a full medical assessment. Your treatment is planned around your anatomy and goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Treatment Benefits
Which Body Parts Do Medcura's Fat Dissolving Injections Treat?
Fat responds differently depending on where it sits, how deep the deposit is, and what is driving the fullness. Your clinician maps the treatment to your anatomy rather than applying a fixed protocol to every patient.
Fat Dissolving (Small Area)
A focused injection protocol for defined deposits in compact areas such as the chin, jawline, and small body pockets where contour definition is the primary goal. The fat-dissolving solution is placed precisely into the fat layer beneath the skin to break down cell walls. Sessions take approximately 90 minutes. Results develop progressively as the body metabolises and clears the treated fat over the following weeks.
Fat Dissolving (Large Area)
A broader injection protocol for larger body zones, including the abdomen, where reducing volume across a wider area is the objective. Injection points are mapped to the specific fat deposit being addressed, with the solution distributed across a greater surface area. Sessions take approximately one hour. Improvement develops gradually across a course of fat removal injections as the body clears treated tissue over time.
Double (Chin Sculpting)
This protocol uses Allergan Botox to target the platysma muscle, the broad, flat muscle running along the front of the neck, rather than the fat deposit itself. By relaxing specific muscle bands that pull the lower face downward and contribute to submental fullness, the chin-to-neck transition becomes cleaner, and the lower face appears more structured. Sessions take 30 minutes. Our team recommends this approach for patients where muscle activity, rather than fat volume alone, is the primary driver of the double chin appearance.
Who Is Fat Dissolving Treatment Right For?
Not every treatment suits every person. This is who tends to see the best results and who we would advise to explore other options first.
You're a Good Fit If
- 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
- You have any skin tone, including darker skin, as the compound does not affect pigmentation
- You are comfortable with more than one session to reach your preferred result
You Should Avoid It 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 will be confirmed at your Medcura assessment.
What Happens to Your Body After 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.
Cleaner Lower Face Profile
Double chin sculpting relaxes the muscle bands that contribute to fullness and reduced definition around the chin and neck. The lower face can appear more lifted and structured without surgery or recovery 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.
