Lipolysis Treatments
Lipolysis treatments are advanced procedures designed to eliminate stubborn fat pockets that often remain despite diet and exercise. Many people struggle with small, resistant areas around the abdomen, thighs, or chin that do not respond to lifestyle changes. At rtwskin clinic, located in Tunbridge Wells (Kent) and London, we provide innovative solutions such as laser, cryogenic, and injection-based lipolysis, helping you contour your body without surgery or significant downtime.

These treatments permanently destroy fat cells, which your body then naturally processes and eliminates. Unlike traditional liposuction, lipolysis is non-invasive, meaning fewer risks, quicker recovery, and natural-looking results.
Lipolysis offers targeted body contouring rather than overall weight loss. Whether through advanced laser technology or non-invasive cooling, patients can achieve noticeable changes in shape and silhouette.

How Lipolysis Works
Lipolysis works by breaking down fat cells so that the body can eliminate them naturally. Different methods include:
-
Laser lipolysis treatments – Focused light energy heats fat cells, breaking their structure.
-
Cryogenic lipolysis – Fat cells are frozen, crystallise, and are removed by the body’s lymphatic system over weeks.
-
Injection lipolysis – A targeted solution dissolves fat cells, which are then naturally metabolised.
Unlike weight loss, which only shrinks fat cells, these approaches destroy them permanently.
Preparation Before Treatment
To prepare for lipolysis safely and effectively, patients should:
- Attend a consultation to confirm suitability.
- Avoid alcohol, anti-inflammatory medication, and aspirin for 48 hours before treatment.
- Stay hydrated to support the body’s natural clearance of fat cells.
- Inform the doctor about medical history and recent conditions.
- Follow any pre-treatment skincare advice given.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
Lipolysis is carried out in a clinical setting under the supervision of trained practitioners:
A cooling gel, laser handpiece, or small injection is applied depending on the chosen method.
The procedure usually lasts 30–60 minutes.
No general anaesthesia is required, though mild local anaesthesia may be used for injections.
Patients typically resume normal activities the same day.
Post-Treatment Care
To maximise results after lipolysis:
Most patients experience mild swelling or redness, which subsides quickly.

Long-Lasting and Effective Results
Results from lipolysis are gradual but permanent, as the destroyed fat cells cannot return. Once eliminated, these cells are processed naturally by the body, meaning the results last as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Patients often find that small, stubborn areas respond well within just a few sessions. The exact lipolysis treatment cost will depend on the method chosen and the number of sessions required, but treatment plans are always tailored to ensure safe, effective, and predictable outcomes.
