What it is
Lipolysis is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that permanently reduces localised fat deposits. A pharmaceutical solution is injected into targeted areas, breaking down fat cell membranes so the body can naturally metabolise and eliminate them over the following weeks.
At Éclat & Harmonie, we approach lipolysis with the same consultation-first philosophy we apply to every treatment. Your practitioner will assess the area honestly during your consultation and confirm whether lipolysis is the right approach for your goals. This is a contouring treatment, not a weight-loss solution, and we believe in setting realistic expectations from the start.
Treatment is carried out in our private studio with full attention on you and your comfort. Results develop gradually over 4 to 12 weeks, and a personalised course plan ensures each session builds on the last. Once fat cells are eliminated, they do not return, making this one of the most lasting treatments we offer.
How it works
Area assessment
Your practitioner evaluates the target area, marks injection points, and confirms the treatment zone. Areas such as the double chin, abdomen, or thighs each require a specific approach and dosing strategy.
Solution preparation
A pharmaceutical solution containing deoxycholic acid is prepared at the precise concentration for your treatment area. The formulation is calibrated to ensure effective and safe fat cell disruption.
Targeted injection
The solution is injected into the subcutaneous fat layer using a fine needle in a carefully mapped grid pattern. Each area typically takes 15 to 20 minutes to treat with thorough, even coverage.
Metabolic processing
The solution disrupts fat cell membranes over the following 4 to 6 weeks. The body naturally metabolises and eliminates the treated cells permanently. Most clients require 2 to 4 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart.
Who it is for
You have a pocket of stubborn fat, such as under the chin, on the flanks, or elsewhere, that won't shift despite diet and exercise
You want a non-surgical option to refine your body contour without general anaesthesia or recovery time
You've felt self-conscious about a specific area and want a targeted, permanent solution
You're near your ideal body weight but have localised areas that don't match the rest of your figure
Considered honestly
Best suited to
Adults with localised pockets of stubborn fat that resist diet and exercise. Ideal for refining areas such as the double chin, abdomen, flanks, upper arms, and inner thighs. Best suited for clients who are near their ideal body weight and seeking contouring rather than significant weight loss.
Not suitable if
Pregnant or breastfeeding, liver or kidney disease, uncontrolled diabetes, thyroid disorders, allergy to deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine, BMI over 30 (this is a contouring treatment, not a weight-loss solution), active infection at the treatment area.
A body assessment consultation is essential. Your practitioner will evaluate the treatment area, discuss realistic expectations, and design a personalised course plan. This is a contouring treatment, and your practitioner will ensure it is the right approach for your goals.
