Celluform Injections

Injectable Fat & Cellulite Treatment

CelluformNEW Celluform is a treatment designed to tackle localised fat, cellulite and water retention.

Celluform treatment is through injections into the subcutaneous layer. These deliver key ingredients that work to break down and release stored fat.

Where can Celluform be used?

Unlike other brands and types of fat-reduction injections, Celluform is a very versatile option that can be deployed in a variety of areas of the body and chin.

  • Double chin, jowls
  • Belly fat/abdomen
  • Buttocks, hips
  • Arms/bingo wings

Initial results are visible in just 2 weeks, though it takes a little longer for the full effect to develop. A course of treatment is recommended for best results.

How does Celluform Work?

Celluform is based on a formulation containing deoxycholic acid, soya lecithin and vitamin PP (nicotinamide). These combine to break down the fat cells, destroying them permanently and releasing lipids which are then expelled by the body through the lymphatic system.

In addition, Celluform also stimulates production of collagen for a firming effect and even a ‘lift’, depending on the area being treated.

Celluform Injections FAQ

  • DEOXYCHOLIC ACID: An ingredient that is already at work in the body naturally, where it works to facilitate absorption of fat. Injections work to break down fatty deposits
  • SOYA LECITHIN: Excellent lipolytic properties, known for anti-cholesterol and anti-triglyceride properties. Now used in cosmetic treatments to reduce fat and cellulite
  • VITAMIN PP (NICOTINAMIDE): Lowers cholesterol levels and works to increase vascularity and stimulate the microcirculation system

Regular exercise and a well-balanced diet are essential to maintaining a healthy weight and healthy body, but they often don’t give the shape that we’re after. There are certain areas of the body that are programmed to store fat cells more than others and this becomes more with age and with genetic factors.

Celluform injections can target those difficult areas to dissolve fat cells in the deep subcutaneous tissue.

You can just have one session if you wish, but we recommend a course of sessions for a more comprehensive result. This would typically involve 1-3 sessions for smaller facial areas, 3-5 sessions for larger body areas (e.g. thighs). Sessions are usually 4-6 weeks apart, depending on the area being treated.

This will depend upon the size and location of the area being treated. Treatment generally takes take between 30-60 minutes per session.

We also apply numbing cream for patient comfort. You may feel an odd sensation as we inject, but our techniques will minimise this as much as possible. Our practitioners are able to use cannula as well as injections, ensuring a comfortable experience wherever is being treated.

Very often there will be some localised swelling and reddening during this process. There is a risk of bruising for a few days. The post treatment inflammation is very important as the fibroblasts are stimulated producing collagen and elastin. This causes skin tightening so that you are not left with excess skin after the fat reduction.

MiCool A (cryolipolysis – fat freezing) is also available at Clinicbe for tackling unwanted areas of fatty deposits. For best results, the two treatments may be used in combination.

We also offer Aqualyx® fat reduction injections.

It does take time for the fat to be broken down and expelled by the body, so results are not instant, but you should see initial improvements in around 2 weeks. Some people may see significant results after 1 or 2 sessions, but for larger areas with more fat to break down, expect a few more sessions.

For best results, we recommend:

  • Healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit/veg and sensible portion sizes
  • Drinking at 2 litres of water per day
  • Massage the area once or twice daily to help expel the fat
