Introduction to Fat Dissolving Treatments at Bella Rose Medical Center Dubai
Excess localized fat deposits pose cosmetic and health concerns for many individuals. At Bella Rose Medical Center Dubai, we specialize in state-of-the-art fat dissolving injections and fat freezing techniques that offer effective, minimally invasive solutions with proven safety. This comprehensive guide covers the essential aspects of Kybella, Aqualyx, and fat freezing (Cryolipolysis) treatments.
What Are Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections are minimally invasive treatments designed to break down and eliminate subcutaneous fat. The most widely utilized injections include Kybella and Aqualyx:
- Kybella: Contains deoxycholic acid, a bile acid that disrupts fat cell membranes, leading to permanent fat cell destruction.
- Aqualyx: A synthetic formulation from the deoxycholate family, it emulsifies fat deposits enabling their natural removal via the lymphatic system.
Both injections target localized fat pockets, commonly in the submental region (double chin), but can be used in other areas depending on candidacy and treatment goals.
Medical Evidence and Safety
Research published in journals endorsed by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) support the safety and efficacy of fat dissolving injections. The World Health Organization (WHO) also emphasizes the importance of qualified medical supervision in administering these injectable therapies.
Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)
Fat freezing or Cryolipolysis is a non-invasive technique involving controlled cooling to crystallize and destroy fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues. The body subsequently eliminates these dead cells naturally over weeks.
This treatment is FDA-cleared and recommended by professional bodies such as the ASPS for body contouring and fat reduction.
