Body Sculpting (Fat Dissolving)

Targeted body contouring — not a weight-loss treatment

Body sculpting treatments may be considered for small areas of localised fat that have not responded to diet and exercise.

These treatments are intended for body contouring and are not a treatment for weight loss.

I do not offer weight-loss injections or weight-management medication.

Treatment is only considered following an individual assessment to determine whether it is appropriate for you.

What is body sculpting/contouring?

Injectable body sculpting/contouring involves administering a product into selected areas of localised subcutaneous fat.

At Angel Aesthetics I currently use Lemon Bottle for selected body sculpting treatments.

Treatment involves a series of small injections into the area being treated. The number of injections required will depend on the size and location of the treatment area.

A topical local anaesthetic may be used where appropriate to improve comfort.

Which areas can be treated?

Depending on your individual circumstances treatment may be considered for areas such as:

Under the chin
Upper arms
Abdomen
Thighs
Back

Not every area is suitable for treatment and the amount of localised fat that can reasonably be treated is limited.

Body sculpting is not intended to produce large scale changes in body size or replace weight management.

What results can I expect?

The aim of treatment is to create a subtle improvement in the appearance of the treated area.

Results vary between individuals and depend on factors including the treatment area, amount of localised fat, individual response and lifestyle.

Treatment does not prevent future changes in body weight or fat distribution.

Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle may help maintain any improvement achieved.

Results cannot be guaranteed.

Several treatment sessions may be recommended depending on the area being treated and your individual response.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments varies according to the treatment area and individual circumstances.

For example, treatment beneath the chin may require approximately 2–4 sessions, typically spaced around four weeks apart.

Your individual treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.

Possible side effects

As with any injectable treatment side effects can occur.

These may include:

Bruising
Swelling
Tenderness or discomfort
Redness
Skin irritation
Temporary changes in sensation

Your individual risks and the expected recovery period will be discussed before any treatment.

If you experience unexpected or concerning symptoms following treatment please contact me promptly for advice via the number provided in your aftercare pack.

Who is suitable?

Body sculpting is intended for adults who are already at a relatively stable weight and are seeking treatment for a small area of localised fat, rather than general weight reduction.

As part of my clinic policy I currently only consider this treatment for clients:

Aged 18–60
With a BMI between 18 and 25
After other conservative methods have been tried

Your suitability will always be assessed individually.

Treatment may not be appropriate if you have certain medical conditions, take particular medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding or have other factors that increase the risks of treatment.

Your consultation

A face to face consultation is required before treatment. During your consultation we'll discuss your goals, medical history, medications and previous treatments and assess the area you would like to treat.

We'll also discuss realistic expectations, potential risks and whether body sculpting is an appropriate option for you.

If I don't feel treatment is suitable I will advise you not to proceed.

There is no obligation to have treatment following your consultation.

Personalised treatment plans and quotations are provided following consultation.

An important distinction

Body sculpting and weight loss are not the same thing.

If your primary goal is weight loss or weight management, this treatment is not appropriate for that purpose.

I do not provide weight-loss injections.

If you have concerns about your weight or health, please speak with your GP or an appropriately qualified weight management professional.
