What to expect with the treatment?

Prior to treatment, you are required to discuss the treatment with one of our practitioners at Hardwick Clinic to determine whether it is a suitable option for you. You will be advised whether more than 1 treatment session is required for you. Results of each session can be assessed after 4 weeks. If you require more than 1 treatment session, your treatments will be administered 1 month apart.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the recovery time?

The treatment causes minimal pain, so recovery time is very short. You may experience some swelling in the first couple of days post-treatment. Occasionally, swelling can take up to 2 weeks to settle. Please allow extra time when planning important events. The most common side effects include bruising, redness and numbness after the injections, which normally resolve shortly after the treatment

What are the contraindications for this treatment?

Pregnancy breastfeeding
Trying for a baby
Under the age of 18
Autoimmune conditions
Keloid scaring
Plans to have surgery on the area of treatment in the near future
Bleeding problems
Trouble swallowing for facial treatment

How many treatments will I need?

This depends on the volume of fat and the area being treated. On average two to four treatments are required to achieve desired results.

Will I notice results immediately?

The lipolytic injections start to work immediately, but results do not typically become visible for at least two weeks.

Are the results permanent?

Destruction of fat cells using lipolytic injections is permanent. However, if you do not maintain a healthy lifestyle, new adipose deposition will occur in areas of existing fat.
