DesoBody is an innovative new aesthetic procedure that we are pleased to be able to offer at Smiles. It is a body fat dissolving injection containing the active ingredient Sodium Deoxycholate, otherwise known as Deoxycholic Acid.
In-essence, it is a medical grade detergent that breaks down fat cells. Available with dedicated formulas for both the face, Desoface, and the body, Desobody, it is an exciting new product that is set to revolutionise the aesthetic industry.
How does it work?
Once the Sodium Deoxycholate has been injected into the desired treatment areas, it targets the membrane of the fat cells and the process known as cell lysis begins to occur. As a result of this lipolytic injection, the destroyed fat cells are broken down. They are then removed by way of the natural process of the body’s own lymphatic system.

Fat reduction
Soreness immediately after
Up to 6+ months
What areas can be treated?
Both the body and the face are suitable for treatment and it is particularly successful in those areas that people typically find more difficult to improve through exercise or diet including: inner thighs, abdomen, arms, knees, back fat, upper back, lipoma
To achieve the best results, we advise two or three treatments, with a gap of four to six weeks in between. Some people see improvement immediately, but most will take several weeks to see a noticeable difference.
It can be beneficial to wear close fitting clothes to help to promote the overall appearance. of certain areas during the healing process. This could be simply some leggings or even a compression garment. We will advise you at the time of your procedure and recommend any additional products or care regime to follow.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Please do not shower or bath for twenty-four hours afterwards and wait at least a week before using tanning or perfumed products.
Are there any side effects?
You may notice some swelling or minor bruising or tenderness. This is normal but will subside within 48 hours, although occasionally it can last for up to a week. Having this treatment should not prevent you undertaking your normal daily activities.
This treatment is incredibly safe and side effects are minimal. However, it requires skill and a trained clinician to administer the injections as they must only target the subcutaneous
layer avoiding any muscle or dermal tissue. Our staff have undergone the latest training in this procedure giving you peace-of-mind.
There is minimal pain, more a slight discomfort and it is only for a short time.
The number of treatments will depend on the area being treated and the amount of fat present. As a guide we would suggest one or two sessions for the knee area and at least two to four sessions for the abdomen.
