Lemon Bottle Fat Dissolving Treatment: Everything You Need to Know

Curious about fat dissolving? You’re not alone. Fat dissolving treatments have soared in popularity in recent years as a quick, pain-free, non-surgical solution to target stubborn pockets of fat that don’t respond well to diet or exercise.

Of these, among the most talked-about is Lemon Bottle - a cosmetic injectable that has quickly become one of the most popular fat dissolving solutions since it came to market back in 2008. Made up of all-natural ingredients, Lemon Bottle injections are quick, easy and get to work instantly on areas like the chin, stomach, arms (bingo wings) and thighs. It’s no wonder it’s one of the most effective fat dissolving treatments on the market!

In this guide, we’ll dive into the benefits, effectiveness, and suitability of Lemon Bottle to see if it’s right for you.

What is Lemon Bottle, and how does it work?

Lemon Bottle uses a special injectable solution to break down and dissolve stubborn fat cells around the face and body, giving you a more contoured appearance. It is designed to help sculpt areas of the body that have persistent fat, even when you have a healthy lifestyle. Because nothing is more frustrating than fat that simply won’t budge!

So what’s the science behind the solution? The Lemon Bottle solution contains Riboflavin (Vitamin B12), Bromelain and pineapple extract, naturally occurring substances known for their ability to break down fat cells. When injected into the subcutaneous fat layer, they disrupt the structure of fat cells, causing them to release their stored fat. Once the fat cells break down, the body naturally processes and flushes out the released fat through the lymphatic system.

By combining these powerful ingredients, Lemon Bottle effectively targets and reduces fat in areas that typically resist traditional fat loss methods like exercise and dieting.

Which areas of the face and body can I use Lemon Bottle on?

Your practitioner will consult with you on your particular areas of concern.

Most commonly, Lemon Bottle is used to target double chins, the abdominal area, love handles, inner thighs and underarms, under-bra area and back fat.

What can I expect during my Lemon Bottle treatment?

Before any Lemon Bottle appointment, you’ll receive a consultation session with our Aura team to assess that your desired area of fat is suitable for the treatment. Often this is determined by the thickness of the fat layer. From here, we’ll calculate exactly how many sessions you’ll need, the safest session interval and the final cost of your treatment plan.

During your Lemon Bottle appointment, we use a very tiny needle to inject the targeted fat area multiple times. Your skin will be cleaned and disinfected prior to injection, and we use an anaesthetic cream to ensure your experience is as pain-free as possible. You’ll also receive aftercare instructions to keep on track for the best results.

How many Lemon Bottle sessions do I need for the area of fat I want to target?

The number of Lemon Bottle sessions required will vary depending on the size and location of the area being treated, as well as the amount of fat that needs to be dissolved. On average, patients typically require 2 to 4 sessions to achieve optimal results, though this can vary based on individual circumstances. Here’s our general guideline for different treatment areas:

Double Chin

For fat under the chin, most people will need 2 to 4 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart to see noticeable results.

Thighs

Fat reduction in the thighs typically requires 3 to 5 sessions, depending on the size and density of the fat deposits.

Stomach

For stubborn fat around the abdomen or love handles, you may require 3 to 4 sessions to see significant improvement, depending on the amount of fat.

Arms and Other Areas

Smaller areas like the arms or back may need 2 to 3 sessions to achieve desired results.

Please note that results do vary depending on individuals and fatty areas. Fat breakdown and removal typically occur gradually over the course of a few weeks to months. We’ll create a personalised treatment plan based on your goals and the area being targeted.

How long do the injections take?

A Lemon Bottle treatment can take between 20-60 minutes, depending on your targeted areas. You’ll notice results depending on the area of fat and how quickly your body metabolises its fat.

Is there any downtime?

There is zero downtime after your Lemon Bottle treatment, but we do advise to avoid eating for 4 hours afterwards and to drink 2 litres of water in the 4-5 hours after your injection, as this aids the flushing of fat cells from the body. You may experience minor bruising around the injection site, but this is usually minimal.

Is it painful?

This is a question we get asked a lot! The majority of our patients who receive the Lemon Bottle treatment tell us that the process is pain-free. The Lemon Bottle needle is really small, and we apply an anaesthetic cream beforehand to ensure your treatment is as pain-free as possible. 

Is it dangerous?

As with any injectable, always make sure you’re being treated by a qualified aesthetic practitioner or healthcare professional who is trained and properly insured. Doing so will minimise any risk and ensure your experience is relaxing and pain-free.

How does Lemon Bottle compare to Liposuction and CoolSculpting?

When it comes to non-surgical fat dissolving treatments, there are several options available, but Lemon Bottle stands out for its fast and impressive results. If you’re wondering how it compares with Liposuction and CoolSculpting, we’ve got you covered:

Lemon Bottle vs. CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a popular non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling to freeze and destroy fat cells. While CoolSculpting is effective for certain areas, Lemon Bottle offers a much more targeted approach using injections to dissolve fat, providing more precision for small, stubborn fat areas. CoolSculpting requires more sessions to achieve the same level of fat reduction that Lemon Bottle can deliver with fewer treatments.

Lemon Bottle vs. Liposuction

Unlike traditional liposuction, which is an invasive surgical procedure, Lemon Bottle is non-invasive and requires no downtime. Liposuction involves physically removing fat cells, while Lemon Bottle dissolves and metabolises fat over time. While liposuction offers more dramatic, immediate results, Lemon Bottle provides a gentler, less risky alternative with more gradual, natural-looking results.

Is there anyone that Lemon Bottle isn’t suitable for?

While Lemon Bottle is a safe and effective treatment for most individuals, there are certain cases where it may not be suitable for you. Here are some considerations before you enquire about Lemon Bottle treatment:

Obesity: As Lemon Bottle is used on very specific areas of fat, generalised obesity is inappropriate for a fat dissolve treatment.

Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: As with many cosmetic treatments, Lemon Bottle is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding due to the lack of sufficient safety data.

Individuals with Certain Medical Conditions: People with liver disease, gallbladder issues, or other severe medical conditions affecting fat metabolism may not be suitable candidates for Lemon Bottle treatments. Always consult with your healthcare provider before undergoing fat dissolving treatments.

Active Skin Conditions: If you have an active skin infection, open wounds, or inflammatory conditions in the treatment area, it’s best to delay the procedure until the condition resolves.

Allergies or Sensitivities: Individuals with known allergies or sensitivities to the active ingredients (such as phosphatidylcholine or deoxycholic acid) should avoid this treatment.

Could Lemon Bottle be right for me?

As with any cosmetic treatment, it’s always recommended to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if Lemon Bottle is right for you, based on your individual goals and health profile. If you’re looking for a pain-free, fast and effective fat dissolving treatment, then Lemon Bottle could be the perfect solution. Speak to our Aura team today for a free Lemon Bottle consultation!
