Under arms

Introduction:

Under Arms Lipolysis is a sophisticated aesthetic solution for one of the most common yet challenging concerns: the accumulation of stubborn fat in the axillary (underarm) region. Even with a dedicated fitness regime, this area can remain resistant to toning, often creating uneven contours or “bulges” around clothing straps. Our clinic utilises premium fat-dissolving compounds (such as deoxycholic acid) to target these specific deposits. The treatment works by destabilising the fat cell membranes, causing them to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. It is the premier choice for those desiring a smoother, more streamlined upper body without the downtime or risks associated with liposuction.

Benefits:

• Targeted Refinement: Specifically addresses the “bra bulge” area, smoothing the transition between the arm and the chest.
• Permanent Fat Reduction: Once the treated fat cells are destroyed and metabolised, they cannot regenerate, offering enduring results provided a stable weight is maintained.
• Wardrobe Confidence: Eliminates the self-consciousness often associated with wearing sleeveless tops, swimwear, or fitted dresses.
• Non-Invasive: A safe, injectable procedure that requires no general anaesthetic, incisions, or surgical scarring.
• Skin Retraction: The inflammatory response triggered by the treatment can also encourage skin tightening in the treated area, further enhancing the contour.

Procedure:

1. Bespoke Consultation: Your experience begins with a private assessment where our specialist evaluates the tissue density and skin quality to design a tailored treatment plan.
2. Meticulous Preparation: The underarm area is thoroughly cleansed and sterilised.

We carefully map the treatment zone with a grid to ensure precise and even distribution of the product.

1. Expert Application: Using ultra-fine needles, the lipolytic solution is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat layer. Our specialist employs a gentle technique to maximise comfort.
2. Comfort Measures: While the procedure is generally well-tolerated, we may use topical anaesthetics or cooling packs to ensure a soothing experience.
3. Completion: The treatment is swift, typically taking 30 minutes. You will receive a personalised aftercare pack to support your recovery.

Contraindications and Safety:

We adhere to the highest standards of medical safety. This treatment is not suitable for

individuals who:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have active skin infections, eczema, or cysts in the underarm area.
• Suffer from autoimmune diseases or diabetes affecting wound healing.
• Have kidney or liver conditions (as these organs process the broken-down fat).
• Are allergic to the active ingredients or soy (depending on the formulation).

Every procedure is performed in our sterile, luxury clinic environment, ensuring your safety and peace of mind are paramount.

Results and Aftercare:

Lipolysis is a biological process that requires patience. You will not see immediate changes; instead, you may experience swelling, redness, and tenderness in the underarm area for 3-7 days. This is a positive sign that the fat cells are being disrupted. Visible reduction typically begins to emerge after 4-6 weeks, with the final, sculpted result appearing after a full course of treatments (usually 2-4 sessions).

To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery:

• Avoid applying deodorant or perfumed products to the area for 24 hours.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing to prevent friction and irritation.
• Refrain from strenuous upper body exercise and swimming for 3-5 days.
• Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential to help your lymphatic system flush out the dissolved fat cells.
• Avoid massaging the area for 48 hours to prevent infection.
