Fat dissolving injections in Dieppe, New Brunswick
Target Stubborn Fat. Refine Your Shape. Restore Confidence.
Eliminate the small pockets of fat that don’t respond to diet or exercise, with precision, safety, and expert care.
Fat dissolving injections are designed for one specific purpose: reducing small, stubborn areas of fat that persist despite a healthy lifestyle. At Allura Clinics, we use this treatment to help you refine problem areas with a non-surgical approach that delivers gradual, natural-looking results. This is not a weight loss solution. It is a targeted body-contouring treatment for people who are close to their goal weight but frustrated by areas that won’t budge.
We approach fat dissolving injections conservatively and strategically. Every treatment plan starts with an assessment to confirm that injections are the right option for you and that your skin quality can support fat reduction without unwanted laxity.
How Do Fat Dissolving Injections Work?
Fat dissolving injections use a medical grade injectable that breaks down fat cells in the treated area. Once those fat cells are destroyed, the body naturally clears them over time through the lymphatic system. The fat cells that are removed do not come back.
Because the process relies on the body’s natural response, results appear gradually rather than overnight. This allows for smoother contour changes and avoids the abrupt look that can occur with more aggressive treatments.
Key points to understand:
- The treatment targets fat cells only, not muscle or skin
- Results develop over several weeks
- Multiple sessions are usually required for best outcomes
- Treated fat cells are permanently removed
Who is a good candidate for fat dissolving injections?
Fat dissolving injections work best for people in their 20s to 40s, though some people in their 50s are also good candidates. Skin elasticity plays a large role in determining candidacy.
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have small, well defined areas of stubborn fat
- Your skin has good elasticity
- You are close to your ideal weight
- You want a non surgical option
If skin laxity is a concern, alternative treatments will be discussed that may better fit your goals.
What Areas Can You Treat With Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections are best suited for small, targeted areas. They are not designed for large-volume fat removal.
The most commonly treated areas include:
- Under the chin (submental area)
- Lower abdomen, including small abdominal pouches
Other areas may be assessed on a case-by-case basis. During your consultation, we evaluate both fat volume and skin quality to ensure this treatment will deliver a smooth result.

What Results Can You Expect, And How Long Do They Last?
Fat dissolving injections reduce the fullness of the treated area, making it visibly slimmer and more defined. The goal is not dramatic volume loss. It is controlled contour refinement.
Most people need a series of treatments to reach their desired result, typically three to six sessions spaced four weeks apart.
Results are permanent, provided there is no significant weight gain. Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate. Remaining fat cells can still expand if overall weight increases, so this treatment works best for people who maintain a stable weight and an active lifestyle. It is a finishing treatment for stubborn areas, not a substitute for weight loss.
You can expect:
- A visible reduction in stubborn fat
- Gradual, natural looking improvement
- Permanent fat cell removal, with weight stability
- Results that continue to improve over time
Are fat dissolving injections safe?
When performed by experienced medical professionals, fat dissolving injections are considered safe. As with any medical treatment, there are risks, which are reviewed thoroughly during your consultation.
All fat dissolving injection protocols at Allura Clinics are overseen by Dr. Husain, a board certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery.
Common side effects include:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Temporary tenderness
The highest risk area is under the chin, due to the presence of a facial nerve. In rare cases, temporary asymmetry of the smile can occur. A conservative approach and anatomical expertise significantly reduce this risk.
Does it hurt?
Most people describe the sensation as mild to moderate discomfort during treatment, with soreness lasting a few hours afterward. Comfort is prioritized using ice packs and numbing agents as part of the treatment process.
Discomfort is temporary and well tolerated by most people.
