Does fat dissolving actually work — and is it safe?
Fat dissolving injections have a mixed reputation online. Part of that comes from clinics offering the treatment without a proper medical assessment, using unregulated products, or setting unrealistic expectations. The treatment itself, when delivered correctly by a qualified, experienced & insured practitioner using an approved product, has a clear mechanism and a documented safety profile.
The active ingredient in fat dissolving injections is deoxycholic acid. It breaks down the membrane of fat cells in the treatment area, which the body then removes through its lymphatic system over a period of weeks. Results are gradual, not immediate, and the treatment works best on localised pockets of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise, rather than as a weight loss solution.
At Changes Clinic, your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners review your medical history and assesses the treatment area before any injection is administered. If you are not a suitable candidate, we will say so clearly. We do not offer this treatment to everyone who asks for it.

About fat dissolving at Changes Clinic
Our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners administer fat dissolving injections to treat stubborn fat deposits in areas including the double chin, jowls, bra fat, inner thighs and abdomen. The product is injected in small amounts across the treatment area in a single session.
Most clients need two to four sessions to achieve their preferred result, spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow the body time to clear the treated fat cells. Some clients see a meaningful improvement after one session; others require more. Your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners will give you a realistic expectation at your consultation.

I’ve suffered with rosacea for several years and have tried all sorts of creams, skincare routines and products, but nothing really made a lasting difference.
Looking after my skin and being mindful of my diet definitely helps to keep it under control, but IPL at Changes Clinic has made the biggest difference by far. The redness in my face has reduced so much, and even when I do get a flare up, it’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be because the underlying redness has improved so much.
Everyone at Changes Clinic has been friendly, professional and really knowledgeable. They’ve always taken the time to answer any questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process.
I’d happily recommend Changes Clinic to anyone who suffers from rosacea and is thinking about IPL. It’s made a huge difference to my skin and has given me so much more confidence.

I had PRP Hair Treatment, with Sumayiah, she is very friendly, she takes the time to explain the procedure and really makes sure to focus on target areas.
I have had 2 treatments so far and I already see a difference in my hair density and texture. She can use a gun or syringe, the syringe goes deeper and achieves better results, so its worth asking for the syringe method.
I combined my PRP with Calecim serum and that gives an even greater boost. So I recomend you sign up and ask for a booking with Sumaiyah, you'll be very happy that you did..

One of the best decisions I’ve made for my skin! The treatments are effective, safe, and handled by experienced professionals. I struggled with acne for years, and after visiting this clinic, I finally see clear and healthy skin.
The staff always follows up after treatments, which shows how much they care about their clients’ progress. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction is truly impressive. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who wants real results and excellent service.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with great staff. My lazer hair removal was undertaken by two very capable proffessional young women Kelly and Surmaiyah. Both demonstrate constant care and ensure this not always comfortable experience is as pleasant as possible. The facility is immaculately clean and there is excellent visitor free parking available.
I have no hesitation in recommending the clinic to others and whilst I can only comment on the treatments I have received to date I will be availing myself of some of the others services offered.

I am so glad I visited the Changes Clinic today for an upper abdominal ultrasound. I was a nervous wreck as I have a bit of a phobia of scans & Andrea was just brilliant with me. So reassuring, she went above & beyond with careful detailed descriptions, even went over some areas twice just for extra reassurance. I left smiling with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I have already recommended to a friend & highly recommend to anyone experiencing symptoms they’d like some extra peace of mind for. Was also really easy to book & communication excellent throughout. Thank you so much!!

I’ve been attending changes for facial hair removal for about 6 months now and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best and easiest experiences for me. Sumaiyah has been amazing through every step. From consultation to our current progress. She shows great professionalism, compassion, consideration -especially when I’m having a bad pain tolerance day- and is very meticulous in which the results are to show for it. Every appointment I get a little nervous and Sumaiyah has always put my nerves at ease and worked at a pace that suits me and my needs. I’m very thankful to work with her and be attending changes clinic. I would recommend their treatment. The staff are very welcoming. Adriana Verrier :) .

Chloe was very well informed and helpful. There was probably too much information to absorb in the time span, and more published literature would be helpful (FAQs, prices, offers, medical considerations etc)

Common questions
Is fat dissolving safe?
Deoxycholic acid-based fat dissolving injections are a well-studied treatment when used by qualified, experienced & insured practitioners with appropriate products. Common effects include swelling, redness, bruising and tenderness in the treated area, which typically settle over one to two weeks. The swelling after chin treatment can be pronounced and lasts several days — this is a normal part of the process. Our qualified, experienced & insured practitioners take a full medical history before any treatment and assesses suitability on an individual basis.
How is fat dissolving different from liposuction?
Liposuction physically removes fat cells through suction during a surgical procedure under anaesthesia. Fat dissolving injections use a chemical process to destroy fat cells, which the body then naturally eliminates over several weeks. Fat dissolving is non-surgical, requires no downtime from work, and suits localised areas of stubborn fat. It does not replace liposuction for clients with larger volumes of fat, but for the right candidate it achieves a comparable reduction in a targeted area without surgery.
Can fat dissolving be combined with other treatments at Changes Clinic?
Yes. Clients who treat a double chin with fat dissolving often combine the course with skin tightening treatments such as HIFU, which can help address any looseness in the skin as the fat reduces. Skin booster treatments are also compatible once the area has fully settled after each session. Your qualified, experienced & insured practitioners will advise on timing and what combinations make sense for your specific goals.
How far is Changes Clinic from Winchester?
