Frequently Asked Questions
What is Stubborn Fat Treatment®?
Stubborn Fat Treatment is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a compound containing phosphatidylcholine (PPC), a substance found naturally in the body. It is administered by a qualified professional to address localised fat concerns following consultation.
How do I know if this treatment is right for me?
Suitability is determined during a consultation with a qualified clinician. Factors such as treatment area, skin condition, and medical history are considered before proceeding.
How does the treatment work?
The procedure involves injecting a compound into the targeted area. The body processes the compound through normal metabolic pathways over time. Results vary depending on individual physiology.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment area and individual response. Most patients require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. This will be discussed during your consultation.
How long does it take to see changes?
Changes may begin to appear within 3–4 weeks, with full cosmetic effect potentially taking up to 12 weeks. Individual response times vary.
Can results become uneven?
Different injection techniques can be used for either skin retraction or fat reduction. In procedures for fat reduction there have been no reports to date of unevenness in the injection areas. Often Stubborn Fat Treatment® has been used to correct uneven effects from other procedures, such as liposuction, lipoplasty and coolsculpting.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Most patients resume normal activities shortly after treatment. Mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur and typically resolves within a few days.
Are there any side effects?
Common side effects may include swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects are usually temporary. Your clinician will explain all potential risks during consultation.
Can the results be uneven?
As with any cosmetic procedure, individual response may vary. Your clinician will assess symmetry and adjust treatment plans accordingly over multiple sessions if needed.
Will the fat return after treatment?
The procedure targets specific areas of concern. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle may help support long-term cosmetic outcomes. Your clinician can provide guidance during follow-up.
Why can’t the treatment be spread across multiple areas in one session?
For safety and effectiveness, the treatment is typically limited to one area per session. This allows the body to process the compound gradually and helps monitor individual response.
