What Is Sclerotherapy?
Fat dissolving injections are prescription injectable treatments that may be used to improve the appearance of localized areas of unwanted fat in appropriate candidates. Depending on the treatment area and product selected, these injections work by targeting fat cells, which are gradually cleared by the body's natural metabolic processes over time.
At Blanqa Medspa, every treatment is personalized based on your anatomy, treatment goals, medical history, and clinical evaluation. Your provider will determine whether fat dissolving injections are appropriate for your concerns and develop an individualized treatment plan.
Treatment recommendations are individualized based on your clinical evaluation and aesthetic goals.
