Compare prices across all clinicsFat-dissolving injections, also called injection lipolysis, are injections into the fat layer under the skin intended to break down a small, localised pocket of fat. They are typically used for areas that have not responded to diet and exercise, most commonly under the chin, and sometimes the abdomen, flanks, thighs or upper arms. The products used are usually based on deoxycholic acid (a bile-acid derivative) or on enzyme-based or phosphatidylcholine formulations, and are given as a course of sessions rather than a single visit. This is a body-contouring treatment aimed at the shape of a specific area. It is not a weight-loss treatment, not a substitute for one, and not an alternative to medical care for obesity. Suitability, the number of sessions and the outcome vary between individuals, and a licensed professional should assess whether it is appropriate for you.
Fat-dissolving injections in the UAE are usually priced per session, and sometimes per vial or as a course; a course of several sessions is typical, so one session is rarely the full cost. Across 13 clinics in the UAE with comparable prices checked in September 2026, listed prices range from AED 300 to AED 2,500, with a median of AED 840. Check how many sessions a clinic expects and what each price covers before comparing.
Fat-dissolving injections are usually quoted per session, sometimes per vial or by volume, and sometimes as a course or an individual quote after assessment. Because a course of several sessions is typical, a per-session price is usually a starting point rather than the total you will pay. Prices are indicative and clinic-published; confirm the unit, the area, the number of sessions expected and what each figure covers before comparing.
The area being treated affects both the price and the plan. A small under-chin pocket usually needs less product per visit than the abdomen or thighs, so an under-chin price should not be read as the price for a larger area. Live prices are shown for an area only where its pricing unit is known; otherwise a price is listed for context. Where a clinic treats several areas in one visit, the figure usually covers a whole plan rather than a single session.
Fat-dissolving injections are most often quoted per session, sometimes per vial or by volume in millilitres, and sometimes as a course or an individual quote after assessment. The distinction matters more here than for most treatments, because this is normally a course-based treatment: a clinic will typically advise several sessions spaced weeks apart, so a single per-session price is rarely what you end up paying in total. A per-vial price is not a per-session price either: a larger area can need more product in one visit. Quotes covering several areas or a whole plan sit outside the per-session comparison entirely, which is why a headline figure can look very different from a session price. When comparing, confirm the unit, the number of sessions expected for your area, how much product is included, and whether reviews are part of the price. Prices are only comparable when they cover the same area, the same volume and the same number of visits.
| Quote type | What it means | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Per session | A price for one injection visit for the agreed area. | How many sessions are expected in total, and whether the price holds for each. |
| Per vial / ml | A price tied to the volume of product used rather than to a visit. | How many ml your area is likely to need, so the visit cost can be worked out. |
| Course / package | One price covering a set number of sessions. | How many sessions are included and what happens if more are advised. |
| Individual quote | A figure for a whole plan, often for larger or multiple areas. | Exactly which areas and how many sessions the figure covers. |
To compare like for like rather than by headline number alone, confirm what a quote covers before booking. These are the items that most often differ between clinics.
Clinics in the UAE list a range of products for fat-dissolving injections, including Aqualyx, Kybella, Lemon Bottle, Lipolab, PB Serum, V Light and preparations marketed as a "yellow shot". These are product names, not other names for the treatment, and they are not interchangeable: formulations differ (some are based on deoxycholic acid or deoxycholate, others on phosphatidylcholine or enzyme blends) and so do the protocols, the volumes used and the number of sessions advised. Product availability and regulatory status vary, and not every product listed by a clinic is registered for the same use. This page does not present any product as superior to another. Ask the clinic which product it plans to use, why it suits your area, how much of it a quote covers, and whether it is registered for use in the UAE.
The size of the area and how much product it needs are usually the biggest drivers: an under-chin pocket is priced differently from the abdomen or several areas together. The number of sessions matters most of all: because a course is typical, a low per-session figure can add up to more than a package that looks higher at first glance. The product used, whether a consultation and review visits are included, the clinic’s location and the treating professional all affect the total. Ask for the expected number of sessions and the full cost of the plan, not just the price of the first visit.
The facts below are typical and general. Individual assessment by a licensed professional decides what applies to you.
| Clinical name | Injection lipolysis |
|---|---|
| What it targets | Small, localised pockets of fat, not body weight |
| Common areas | Under-chin, abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms |
| Sessions typical | A course of several, spaced weeks apart |
| Onset | Gradual over weeks; varies between individuals |
| Downtime | Swelling, bruising and tenderness common; can last weeks |
| Not the same as | Filler dissolving, fat freezing, liposuction or weight-loss injections |
| Insurance | Elective cosmetic use generally paid privately |
Before treatment, a practitioner examines the area, discusses your goal, reviews your medical history, and checks whether the treatment suits you and how many sessions might be needed. The area is usually marked out and photographed for comparison. During a session, the product is injected at several points across the marked area, sometimes after a numbing cream; a visit is usually short, and some discomfort, stinging or burning during and after the injections is commonly reported. Afterwards, swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness and firmness in the area are common and can last from several days to a few weeks; under-chin swelling in particular can be noticeable. Change is gradual rather than quick: sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart, and any effect builds over that period as the body clears the treated fat. Most people are advised a course of sessions, and the number needed, the degree of change and how long it lasts vary between individuals. Some people see little change, and results are not assured.
Fat-dissolving injections should be carried out by a trained, licensed practitioner in a licensed facility, and they carry risks. Commonly reported effects include pain or stinging during the injections, and swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, firmness or lumps in the treated area afterwards, which are usually temporary but can last weeks. Less common but more serious problems have been reported, including nerve injury affecting the muscles that move the mouth when the under-chin area is treated, difficulty swallowing, skin ulceration or tissue damage if the product is placed incorrectly, and injection-site infection. Uneven or asymmetric results are possible. The treatment is not suitable for everyone. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, infection or skin problems in the area, bleeding disorders or blood-thinning medicines, certain medical conditions and previous surgery in the area all need discussion first, and it is intended for small, localised fat rather than general body weight. Products differ in their formulation and regulatory status, so ask what is being used. A licensed professional should assess you before treatment and explain the risks for your situation, and you should seek medical advice promptly if you notice spreading pain, skin colour changes, an open wound, difficulty swallowing, weakness in the face, fever or other unusual symptoms afterwards.
Look beyond the headline number. Check whether the price is per session, per vial or for a course, how many sessions the clinic expects for your area, and whether reviews are included: a course-based treatment is easy to under-budget from a single session price. Ask which product will be used and whether it is registered for use in the UAE, who will perform the injections and what their training is, and how the clinic manages a complication if one occurs. The relevant facility and professional regulator depends on the clinic’s location. Where Medifinder shows a facility-licence status, it means the clinic’s licence was checked against the regulator’s available records. It is not an assessment of clinical quality or of who performs the treatment. Confirm the final quote and your suitability directly with the clinic before booking.
Fat-dissolving injections are offered across the UAE, with most listed clinics in Dubai. Choose an emirate to see local clinics, local prices and neighbourhood filters. Availability and prices vary between clinics rather than by a single rule per emirate, and where an emirate has few comparable prices the page shows individual clinic prices instead of a range.
People comparing fat-dissolving injections often also look at device-based body contouring, which works from outside the skin, and at body mesotherapy. The similar name sometimes causes confusion with filler dissolving, which uses hyaluronidase on hyaluronic-acid filler and is unrelated.
