What are fat dissolving injections?

How much is needed?

It is generally a comfortable procedure and is minimally invasive. Each area is split into sections: upper abdomen, lower abdomen, inner thighs, outer things, love handles, bra bulge and chin, and with exception of the chin one vial will be spread throughout that area. It generally takes 2-4 sessions to start seeing the results, 4-6 sometimes on larger areas, but it does start working immediately after having the procure.
