Skin Treatments

Facial Lipo

Facial lipo is not surgery. It is an injectable solution placed under the chin and jawline that breaks down fat cells, so the body clears them naturally over the following weeks. There is no cutting, no cannula and nothing removed through an incision. It works differently to HIFU, which tightens loose skin rather than targeting fat directly, so the right choice depends on whether you are dealing with excess fat or excess skin.

Your practitioner marks the area, then places a series of small injections under the chin and jawline. Expect mild stinging during the session, which takes 20 to 30 minutes. Swelling and firmness are normal for several days afterward and settle gradually as the treated fat clears.

Results and Suitability

Most people need 1 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on how much fat is present. Initial reduction is visible from 2 to 3 weeks, with a fuller result settling by 6 to 8 weeks after each session.

Facial lipo is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with certain autoimmune conditions, or where the concern is loose skin rather than a distinct pocket of fat. HIFU 90 or Collagen Lift usually fit better in that case. Book a consultation and we will help you work out which treatment matches what you are dealing with.

Where You’ll Be Treated

Facial lipo treatments take place in a private room at each of our clinics. We keep sessions unhurried, talking you through your consultation and what to expect before we begin, and there is no expectation to commit to treatment until you understand what is involved.

FAQs

Am I suitable for this treatment?
Facial lipo is not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an autoimmune condition, or have significant skin laxity, which responds better to HIFU or Collagen Lift than to fat-dissolving injections. This is not a complete list, so we will go through your medical history thoroughly at your consultation before recommending any treatment.
Can I return to work?
Yes, though visible swelling and firmness under the chin can last several days, so plan around any events you have coming up.
When can I go to the gym?
Wait 24 to 48 hours before exercising.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need 1 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on how much fat is present in the area.
How long do results last?
Treated fat cells are cleared for good. New weight gain can still affect the area, but the fat cells removed do not come back.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is confirmed at your consultation. Ask your nearest clinic for current prices.
