Lipolysis Injections
Injections that break down small, stubborn pockets of fullness that have not responded to diet or exercise. Used conservatively and in defined areas rather than for overall weight change.

A Contouring Tool, Not a Weight Loss Treatment
It is worth being clear about what this treatment is for. Lipolysis is designed for small, well defined pockets in patients who are close to their goal weight. It is not an approach to overall weight reduction, and Yve will say so directly if your goals would be better served by the GLP-1 wellness program or by a different plan entirely.
Most patients need a series of two to four sessions spaced several weeks apart, since each treatment reduces a portion of the fat in the treated area. Swelling afterward is real and expected, sometimes lasting a week or more, and it is a sign the treatment is working rather than a complication.

For Small Pockets That Resist Everything Else
Some areas of fullness simply do not respond to diet or training. A small pad under the chin, a bulge at the bra line, or fullness along the outer thigh can persist in people who are otherwise lean and active. These deposits are distributed by genetics rather than by lifestyle, which is why effort alone rarely shifts them.
Lipolysis injections deliver a compound that disrupts the membrane of fat cells in a targeted area. Those cells are then cleared gradually through the body's normal processes over the following weeks. Because the treated cells are permanently removed rather than shrunk, results hold well provided your weight stays stable.
What targeted lipolysis can do for the small areas that stay stubborn.

How many treatments will I need?
Usually two to four, spaced about four to six weeks apart. Each session reduces a portion of the fat in the treated area, and the number depends on how much volume is there and what you want to achieve. Yve will give you an honest estimate at your assessment rather than promising a single session result.
How much swelling should I expect?
Considerably more than most injectable treatments. The area often swells noticeably for several days and can stay firm or tender for a week or two, particularly under the chin. This is part of how the treatment works. Plan around any social or professional commitments accordingly.
Am I a good candidate?
The best candidates are near their goal weight with isolated pockets that have not responded to diet and exercise. If your goal is broader weight reduction, we would discuss the GLP-1 program instead. Certain medical conditions and medications also make this treatment inappropriate, which we review beforehand.
Will the fat come back?
The treated cells are gone permanently. However, the fat cells that remain in the area can still enlarge if you gain weight, so maintaining a stable weight is what preserves your result over time.
Beauty should never be about changing who you are.
It should be about preserving what makes you uniquely you.
