Fat Dissolving Injections (Lipolysis) in Toronto
Refine your contours. Restore definition. Target stubborn fat pockets with a non-surgical approach designed for subtle, sculpted results. Injectable lipolysis permanently removes treated fat cells: Health Canada–approved beneath the chin, other areas assessed individually at your consultation, every treatment performed by advanced nurse injectors.
What are fat dissolving injections?
Injectable lipolysis is an advanced contouring treatment that reduces localized fat deposits by breaking down targeted fat cells — creating a more defined, balanced appearance without surgery, incisions, or extended downtime. To be clear: this is contouring, not Ozempic and not a weight-loss injection.
Treatment areas may include:
- Submental fat (double chin) — the Health Canada–approved zone
- Jawline & lower-face definition — a cleaner, sharper line
- Abdomen & waistline — stubborn pockets, not weight loss
- Arms & bra area — assessed during consultation
- Permanently treated fat cells — dissolved cells don’t return
- Customized dosing — mapped to your anatomy and goals
Every treatment is performed exclusively by highly experienced advanced nurse injectors with extensive knowledge of facial and body anatomy and safety-focused protocols. Other areas are carefully assessed at consultation to determine candidacy and the safest, most effective plan. Advanced technique. Precise contouring. Naturally refined results.

How many fat dissolving sessions do I need?
This is a series treatment with a gradual reveal — plan for a few sessions and a few weeks of patience per round.
Most clients need two to three treatments spaced several weeks apart, depending on the size of the area and how much fat is being cleared.
Expect swelling, tenderness and possible bruising in the treated area — that’s the treatment working. It settles over days to a couple of weeks.
As your lymphatic system clears the broken-down fat cells, the area gradually slims. Because destroyed fat cells don’t regenerate, results are lasting at a stable weight.
Your appointment, step by step
Most visits take around 20–30 minutes.
-
Consultation
Your nurse assesses the area, pinches and measures the fat pocket, and confirms you’re a good candidate with a clear series plan.
-
Prep & comfort
The area is cleansed and marked, and numbing is applied to keep the injections comfortable.
-
Precise injections
Small amounts of the fat dissolving solution are placed methodically under the skin across the marked grid.
-
Your next session
Your next session is booked a few weeks out, so the series stays on schedule.
Fat dissolving injections vs liposuction
| Fat dissolving injections | Liposuction | |
|---|---|---|
| Procedure | Injections in a short clinic visit | Surgery with anesthesia |
| Downtime | Minimal — days of swelling | Weeks of recovery and compression garments |
| Best for | Small, stubborn pockets (chin, jawline, bulges) | Large-volume fat removal |
| Results appear | Gradually over weeks per session | After surgical recovery |
| Scarring | None | Visible incision scars |
Both remove fat cells permanently — the route is what differs.
Your privacy matters
Pureté Medical Spa is a private aesthetic and regenerative clinic built on trust, discretion, and personalized care. We deeply respect your privacy and your choice to keep your aesthetic journey confidential.
Unless specifically discussed with you, we will not share photographs or treatment results on our website or social media.
“From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. Pureté feels more like a luxury retreat than a clinic.”
The first 24–48 hours
- Expect swelling, warmth and tenderness in the treated area — it’s part of the process.
- Use a cool compress briefly if advised; avoid pressing or massaging the area.
- Skip strenuous exercise, alcohol, saunas and hot tubs for 24–48 hours.
- Stay well hydrated to support lymphatic clearance.
- Protect treated skin with SPF 30 or higher if it’s sun-exposed.
Who fat dissolving injections aren’t for
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding — a firm no until after.
- Weight loss — this is contouring for small pockets, not a substitute for losing weight. Larger-volume goals deserve a different conversation.
- Significant loose or sagging skin in the area — dissolving fat underneath can make laxity look worse; skin tightening may need to come first.
- Active infection or inflammation at the treatment site — we treat once it’s cleared.
Fat dissolving injection questions, answered
How do fat dissolving injections work?
A specialized compound is injected into the targeted pocket, where it breaks down fat cell membranes. The ruptured cells are then processed and eliminated naturally through your lymphatic system over the following weeks. Because the fat cells are permanently destroyed and do not regenerate — the area stays slimmer while your weight remains stable.
How many fat dissolving sessions will I need?
Most clients need a series of 2–3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the size of the pocket and your goals. Your nurse confirms the number at your free consultation, and you’ll see the area progressively refine after each round.
Do fat dissolving injections really work on a double chin?
Yes — the under-chin area is the classic use case. Small, precise injections break down the submental fat pocket, and over the following weeks your profile visibly sharpens. Jawline definition often improves alongside, since the two areas frame each other.
How much do fat dissolving injections cost in Toronto?
In Toronto, lipolysis is typically priced by area size, often a few hundred dollars per session and area. At Pureté we price by zone — small (double chin, bra bulge), medium (love handles, abdomen) and large (thighs, arms) — assessed at your free consultation.
Is there downtime after fat dissolving injections?
You can return to most activities the same day, but expect swelling, tenderness and possible bruising in the treated area for several days — sometimes up to a couple of weeks under the chin. Plan around big events accordingly; your nurse will walk you through the timeline.
Are the results permanent?
The destroyed fat cells are gone for good — your body clears them and they don’t regenerate. Remaining fat cells can still enlarge with significant weight gain, so results are best maintained with a stable weight.
When will I see results?
Gradually, over the weeks following each session, as your lymphatic system clears the broken-down fat. Most clients see their full result after completing the series — a slimmer, more contoured area that looks natural rather than suddenly different.
Fat dissolving vs facial balancing — which one?
Pure lipolysis maximizes fat reduction in one pocket; facial balancing takes a broader approach — balancing proportions with lighter fat reduction and skin-firming ingredients for overall lower-face refinement. Your nurse will recommend the right tool — or sequence — at your consultation.
Will my skin sag after the fat is dissolved?
It’s a fair question — and the reason we screen candidates. Good skin quality typically retracts nicely over the treated area. If you have noticeable laxity, we may recommend skin tightening first or alongside, so the final contour is firm, not deflated.
