Fat Dissolving Injections & Non-Surgical Body Contouring at Skin Atelier Kilchberg
Injection lipolysis, also known as fat dissolving injections, is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment designed to reduce localized fat deposits and refine facial or body contours without surgery.
At Skin Atelier Kilchberg in Zurich, injection lipolysis treatments are performed with precision to target stubborn fat areas such as the double chin, sagging cheeks, abdomen, thighs, flanks, and other localized fat deposits that may not respond to diet and exercise alone.
Using scientifically established active ingredients such as phosphatidylcholine, the treatment helps break down fat cells naturally, allowing the body to metabolize and eliminate them over time for a slimmer and more contoured appearance.
Injection lipolysis is particularly suitable for patients seeking subtle, non-surgical contour refinement with minimal downtime.
What Is Injection Lipolysis?
Injection lipolysis is a non-surgical fat reduction treatment that involves injecting active ingredients directly into localized fat deposits.
The injected solution works by disrupting fat cell membranes, causing the fat cells to gradually break down. The body then naturally processes and eliminates the released fat through the lymphatic system and metabolic pathways.
Unlike surgical procedures, injection lipolysis allows targeted contouring without incisions, anesthesia, or significant recovery time.
The treatment is commonly used for smaller stubborn fat areas and contour irregularities.

How Does Injection Lipolysis Work?
The treatment uses active ingredients such as phosphatidylcholine, which are injected directly into targeted fat tissue.
Once injected:
- fat cell membranes break down
- fat is gradually metabolized
- the body naturally eliminates the breakdown products
- the treated area progressively becomes slimmer and more defined
Results develop gradually over several weeks as the body processes the treated fat cells.
Depending on the treatment area and desired result, multiple sessions may be recommended.

Fat dissolving injections, also known as injection lipolysis, are a minimally invasive treatment for reducing fat deposits without surgery, thus avoiding scarring. This method is particularly effective for small fat deposits on the face or body, as it causes targeted inflammation that dissolves the fat.
When used properly, the fat-away injection is considered a safe and effective method with low risk. Typical side effects include swelling and pain similar to sore muscles. Very rarely, allergic reactions to the active substance used or fatty tissue necrosis may occur.
For optimum results, two to three lipolysis sessions are usually required at 6 to 8 weeks. The effect becomes visible after the swelling has subsided. In around 10% of cases, however, the fat dissolving injection does not achieve the desired results, possibly due to resistance to the combination of active ingredients.
Results develop gradually over several weeks as the body metabolizes and eliminates the treated fat cells.
