✨ Permanently reduce stubborn thigh fat with the clinically proven injectable that destroys fat cells for good.

Topical numbing cream for comfort
Micro-injections around the full thigh circumference
Post-injection ultrasound to enhance fat breakdown

Common questions
Is there any downtime?
You'll usually have noticeable swelling, redness and tenderness for two to three days, with small bumps at injection points that can last a few hours. Most people carry on with normal activities but wear loose clothing and avoid anything that rubs the area.
Does it hurt?
You'll feel warmth and stinging during the injections, but we use numbing cream first to take the edge off. The ultrasound afterwards feels warm but not painful. Most people find it manageable and over quickly — the injection part usually takes under half an hour.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need two to eight sessions for their full result, spaced four weeks apart to let your body clear the fat between treatments. If you've got a wedding or holiday coming up, start at least twelve weeks beforehand so everything's settled in time.
How long do the results last?
You'll typically start seeing a difference after your first or second session, with the full result showing at around three weeks after each treatment. Once fat cells are destroyed, they're gone for good — results last permanently as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Are there any side effects?
It's normal to have redness, swelling, tenderness and bruising at the injection sites, with some firmness and warmth in the treated area for a few days. Small nodules can form under the skin that usually settle on their own. Rarely, infection or skin damage can occur if technique is poor, which is why proper training matters.
Preparing for your appointment
Drink plenty of water for 48 hours before — well-hydrated skin responds better
Avoid alcohol for 48 hours — it thins the blood and increases bruising
Stop anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen for one week unless prescribed
Eat normally on the day — don't arrive hungry
Wear loose, comfortable clothing you can roll up easily
Looking after yourself afterwards
Expect noticeable swelling for 2 to 3 days — this is normal and means it's working
Drink 2 to 3 litres of water daily for one week to help your lymphatic system clear the fat
Avoid alcohol for 48 hours — it slows healing and can worsen swelling
No strenuous exercise, hot baths, saunas or swimming for 48 hours
Don't apply makeup over injection points for 24 hours
Gentle walking helps lymphatic drainage; avoid sitting still for long periods
Do not book if any of these apply
You are pregnant or breastfeeding
You have an active infection or skin condition on your thighs
You have diabetes, liver or kidney disease
You have an autoimmune condition such as scleroderma
You take blood-thinning medication
You are under 18 or over 60 years old
You have a known allergy to any of the ingredients
You have lipodystrophy or other fat metabolism disorders
You have insufficient fat depth in the area — this needs pinchable fat to work
