Fat Dissolving Cardiff
Two options. One assessment.
Portland Body Clinic offers two injectable options for targeting localised pockets of unwanted fat — Lemon Bottle and Aqualyx.
- From £150Fat Reduction
- Non-surgicalNo general anaesthetic
- ConsultationIncluded in your appointment
- Cardiff35 Park Place
About the treatment
Both are designed for targeted fat reduction rather than overall weight loss, but there are important differences in treatment frequency and the expected timeline for seeing results.
Treatment is delivered directly into the targeted area and does not require surgery or a general anaesthetic. Areas commonly treated include the chin, stomach, love handles, thighs and arms.
Lemon Bottle vs Aqualyx
Both treatments are used for targeted areas of unwanted fat, but their treatment schedules and result timelines differ. The right option will depend on the area being treated, your goals and your individual treatment plan.
Lemon Bottle
A faster treatment cycle
Results can begin to become visible from as early as 24 hours.
Allow up to approximately 4 weeks for the full result of a treatment to develop.
Sessions can be performed weekly where appropriate.
The number of sessions required varies according to the treatment area, amount of fat and individual response.
Aqualyx
An established injectable approach
Changes typically begin to become visible after approximately 10–14 days.
Allow approximately 6 weeks for the final result of a treatment to develop.
Treatments are generally spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart.
Aqualyx is commonly planned as a course, with the number of sessions depending on the area being treated and individual response.
Different treatment timelines
How each treatment develops after a session. Timeframes are typical rather than guaranteed, and individual response varies.
Lemon Bottle
Further sessions can be performed weekly where appropriate.
Aqualyx
Further sessions are generally spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart.
Which fat dissolving treatment is right for me?
You don’t need to have decided between them before you book.
The most appropriate option can depend on the area being treated, the amount and distribution of fat, your goals and how frequently you would like to undergo treatment.
Book either one and we will assess the area at the start of your appointment, explain both approaches and agree the right plan with you before anything begins. If you would rather talk it through first, message us.
What actually happens.
Every treatment at Portland starts with an assessment. If something is not appropriate for you, we will say so.
Assessment
We examine the area and discuss whether an injectable approach, a cooling approach, or neither is the sensible option.
Treatment
The product is injected into the subcutaneous fat of the target area using a fine needle.
Response
Swelling, tenderness and firmness in the treated area are expected and are part of how the treatment works.
Review
We review the area before deciding whether any further treatment is appropriate.
