The next generation in fat dissolving, Desoface is an innovative, FDA-approved treatment for permanently reducing localised, stubborn pockets of fat for a slimmer, more contoured appearance on the face.
A leading name in the field of Aesthetic Medicine, Desoface 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.
Desoface 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 Desoface treatment, the active ingredient dissolves the treated fat cells which is then eliminated safely by your metabolic system.
Additionally, the Desoface fat dissolving 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.
Desoface fat dissolving may be suitable for you if:

The usual number of Desoface treatments 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. The number of treatment sessions you require will depend on how quickly your body processes the destroyed fat cells.
Desoface fat dissolving 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 fat dissolving 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 options include Aqualyx (also known as Motolese’s Soulution); Belkyra; Celluform; Celluform +; and of course, Desobody and Desoface.
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 injections. Our understanding is that 2 to 8 sessions are usually required of Aqualyx.
No Desoface is not designed to target cellulite. This procedure is a method of tackling localised fat deposits and getting rid of stubborn fat pockets. In other words, it is a way of reducing excess fat, not removing 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 and building a more balanced, healthy lifestyle you may like to read more about The National Weight Loss Programme treatment we offer.
No, clients do not report that our fat-dissolving procedures 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 course of treatment. The active ingredient Sodium deoxycholate will break down the cell membrane of the localised pockets of fat and give you more neck definition.
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 treated fat cells that are broken down and metabolised cannot grow back. If you gain weight or have an unstable diet, nearby fat pockets can become larger; this can be improved with further Deso injections or by improving your lifestyle with exercise and healthy eating.
