The next generation in fat dissolving, Desobody is an innovative, FDA-approved treatment for permanently reducing localised, stubborn pockets of fat for a slimmer, more contoured appearance on the body. Leading names in the field of Aesthetic Medicine, Desobody fat-dissolving injections are scientifically proven and safe treatments to effectively target and reduce stubborn pockets of fat. At The Skin to Love Clinic, this treatment is only ever performed by a registered medical professional for your safety and treatment satisfaction.
Desobody is an injectable treatment, with appropriate concentrations of the active ingredient Sodium Deoxycholate in. Sodium deoxycholate is a synthetic form of Deoxycholate Acid (DA), a bile acid which has been used for decades in multiple fields of medicine.
Already present in our bodies, DA emulsifies fat ready for absorption in the gut. When applied subcutaneously via a Desobody treatment, the active ingredient dissolves the treated fat cells which is then eliminated safely by your metabolic system.
Additionally, the Deso treatment injections combine the Sodium Deoxycholate with caffeine and equisetum which promotes lipid catabolism (lipids used to satisfy your body’s need for energy), has a decongestant effect and promotes draining in the treated area. This means that this treatment has the advantage of not only destroying the fat cells, but they are also emptied.
Desobody may be suitable for you if:

What Is In This Blog:
The usual number of Desobody injections required is between 2 and 6. This is dependent on the size of the area being treated. This will be discussed with you at your consultation and assessment prior to treatment.
Deso treatments at The Skin to Love Clinic in Hertfordshire start at £200.
No. Desoface and Desobody are FDA-approved, prescription drugs which do not cause cancer.
Desoface treatment is used on the face to reduce fat in areas such as the double chin and sculpt pockets of unwanted fat, such as the jowls. Desobody can be used to sculpt fat and reduce fat on the body, including areas such as thighs; stomach; upper arms; saddle bags; flanks; the top of your back; and knees.
Desoface and Desobody are prescription drugs so should be administered by a registered medical professional.
There are many fat injections available. Popular fat-dissolving injections include Aqualyx (also known as Motolese’s Soulution); Belkyra; Celluform; Celluform +; and of course, Desobody and Desoface. At Skin to Love, we’ve chosen the Deso range of fat-dissolving injections because it is the next generation of desobody fat-dissolving injections.
Yes. At our Hertfordshire clinic, we only ever offer treatments that have safety clearances and clinical papers to support their results and offer a good safety profile. We would never offer you a treatment that we wouldn’t offer our friends, family or ourselves.
Aqualyx is another brand of fat-dissolving injection. It is a different solution to Desobody and Desoface. However, it does also include deoxycholic acid, much like Deso fat dissolving injections. Our understanding is that 2 to 8 sessions are usually required of Aqualyx.
Desobody is not designed to target cellulite.
Desobody and Desoface are not weight loss treatments. They are designed to reduce pockets of fat, rather than overall weight. If you are considering seeking advice and help with weight loss, you may like to read more about The National Weight Loss Programme treatment we offer.
No, clients do not report that our desobody fat-dissolving injections cause them pain.
This is dependent on you and your metabolism. Many people notice their final result a few weeks after their final session, with many seeing changes and improvements during their treatments.
The most common side effects of this treatment are associated with the injections; slight discomfort and a feeling of warmth in the treatment area. The treated area may be pink or feel a little uncomfortable for a few hours.
Swelling and tenderness may be noticed after the treatment and may be noticed for several days post-treatment.
As with all injectable treatments, there is the risk of bruising in and around the area that you are having treated. This will resolve at the normal speed a bruise recovers for you usually.
Extremely rare side effects include an allergic reaction with less than a 0.002% risk; irregularities with a risk of less than 0.03%; abnormal nerve sensations with a risk of less than 0.01%; and hyperpigmentation with a risk of less than 0.002%.
Yes. Desoface and Desobody have clinical papers evidencing their efficacy. The affected fat cells that are broken down and metabolised cannot grow back. If you gain weight or have an unbalanced diet, nearby fat cells can become larger; this can be improved with further Deso injections or by improving your lifestyle with exercise and healthy eating.
Desobody and desoface fat dissolving injections destroy fat cells in your body’s lymphatic system, desobody is excellent at removing fat cells in your inner and outer thighs. Desobody fat-dissolving injections work by destroying fat cells in targeted areas that are slightly overweight, like your inner knees. Also known as lipolytic injections, they damage the fat cell membranes which in turn liquefies the fat present in the body. Once destroyed, these fat cells are broken down and naturally removed via the lymphatic system within the body.
Deso is a fat-dissolving injection that helps treat localised, stubborn fat on the face and body that just won’t shift with diet and exercise. It is a form of lipolysis, a non-invasive treatment which accelerates the body’s natural fat removal process.
The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid – a bile acid which naturally emulsifies and solubilises dietary fats in the intestine. It is a cytolytic medication which means it helps break down a specific type of cell; in this case, fat cells, when injected under the skin give a slimmer and firmer outcome.
DesoBody is for use with areas of stubborn fat that remain even when a patient is at a healthy weight. Typical areas include inner thighs, inner knees, double chins, back and bra rolls, flanks, abdomen and saddlebags. Deso injections safely reduce fat deposits in double chins and wobbly fat that can’t be removed even when you are eating a healthy diet and living a healthy lifestyle.
