Lipolytic Injections in Chennai
Target Small, Stubborn Fat Pockets with Precision Injectable Therapy
Certain small, localised areas of fat – like beneath the chin or small stubborn pockets on the body – often don’t respond well to diet and exercise alone, since they’re determined more by fat cell distribution than overall body fat. Lipolytic Injections use a deoxycholic acid-based solution injected directly into targeted fat pockets to permanently break down fat cells in that specific area.
At our Anna Nagar clinic, every Lipolytic Injections session is performed only after a detailed assessment by experienced dermatologists to confirm you’re a good candidate and determine the right injection pattern for your target area.

What Are Lipolytic Injections & How Do They Work?
Lipolytic Injections use a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected directly into subcutaneous fat – the fat layer just beneath the skin – deoxycholic acid disrupts the outer membrane of fat cells (adipocytes) in the treated area, causing those specific cells to break down and die. The body’s natural metabolic processes then gradually clear away these destroyed fat cells over the following weeks.
This mechanism is what makes the fat reduction from Lipolytic Injections permanent for the specific cells destroyed: unlike weight fluctuation, which causes existing fat cells to shrink or expand, this treatment actually eliminates targeted fat cells from the treated area entirely. Because the treatment works cell-by-cell within the injected area, it’s best suited to small, well-defined fat pockets rather than larger areas of diffuse body fat, which is why it’s commonly used beneath the chin or on other small, localised areas.
Results build gradually as the body clears the destroyed fat cells, typically becoming visible several weeks after each session, with a full treatment course often involving multiple sessions spaced weeks apart to achieve the desired reduction. Because deoxycholic acid affects any fat cell membrane it contacts, precise injection technique matters significantly to avoid affecting surrounding tissue, which is why this treatment should only be performed by an experienced, trained professional.
At our Anna Nagar clinic, every Lipolytic Injections session is performed only after a detailed assessment by experienced dermatologists to confirm your target area is suitable for this treatment and to plan precise, safe injection points.

What our Patient say
"The consultation was detailed, and the treatment plan was tailored to my condition. After four PRP sessions, I noticed visible improvement in my hair density and reduced hair fall. The doctors were professional, the staff was friendly, and every visit was comfortable. I'm happy with the results."
"I was initially unsure whether PRP would work for me, but the results exceeded my expectations. My hair has become noticeably thicker, and my confidence has improved. I highly recommend Anucare for anyone looking for effective hair restoration treatments."
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Lipolytic Injections?
Lipolytic Injections use a deoxycholic acid-based solution injected into targeted fat pockets to permanently break down fat cell membranes in that specific area, with the body naturally clearing the destroyed cells over several weeks.
Are Lipolytic Injections a weight loss treatment?
No, Lipolytic Injections are not a weight loss treatment. They are designed to reduce small, localised, stubborn fat pockets, not to produce overall body weight reduction, and are best suited to those already at a stable, healthy weight.
How much do Lipolytic Injections cost in Chennai?
Lipolytic Injections in Chennai typically start from ₹15,000 per session at Anucare. The final cost depends on the treatment area size and the number of sessions recommended for your specific goals.
Are results from Lipolytic Injections permanent?
Yes, the fat cells destroyed during treatment are permanently eliminated and do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells in the body can still expand with significant weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results.
How many sessions are needed?
A course of 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, is generally recommended for visible fat reduction, depending on the size of your target area and desired outcome.
Do Lipolytic Injections hurt?
Most clients experience mild discomfort during injections, with topical or local anaesthetic used to improve comfort. Some swelling, firmness and bruising in the days following treatment is expected and normal.
What areas can be treated with Lipolytic Injections?
The most common area is beneath the chin (submental fat), though small, well-defined fat pockets on other parts of the body may also be suitable, which your dermatologist can assess during consultation.
Is there downtime after Lipolytic Injections?
Some swelling and firmness in the treated area is expected for 3 to 7 days after each session, though most clients can resume normal daily activities immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days.
