Lemon Bottle fat-dissolving injection at CoLaz

Lemon Bottle is a brand-formulated injectable fat dissolver made up of riboflavin (vitamin B2), lecithin (a phospholipid that emulsifies fat) and bromelain (a plant-derived enzyme that supports the breakdown of fat). When injected directly into a localised pocket of fat, the formulation disrupts the fat cell membrane and supports the release of the stored fat content. The released fatty acids are then cleared through the lymphatic system and processed by the liver over the following weeks. Lemon Bottle is known clinically for producing notably less swelling and downtime than traditional deoxycholic-acid-based fat dissolvers, while still giving a measurable inch-loss result across a course of three to five sessions.

Both are injectable fat dissolvers but the formulations are different. Aqualyx is a CE-marked product based on synthetic deoxycholic acid; it gives a strong inch-loss result but typically produces significant swelling, redness and tenderness for three to seven days after each session. Lemon Bottle is based on riboflavin, lecithin and bromelain and is known for producing milder, shorter-lived swelling, usually only one to three days, with patients often returning to normal life the next day. At consultation we will recommend the product that best fits your area, your tolerance for downtime and your schedule.

The most common area is the submental fat under the chin. Larger areas include the love handles and flanks, the lower and upper abdomen, the full abdomen as a combined area, the inner and outer thighs, the bingo-wing area at the back of the upper arms, and the bra-strap fat at the back. Suitability of each area is confirmed at your free consultation, with a written plan and realistic expectation of how many sessions the area is likely to need.

A typical course is three to five sessions spaced two to four weeks apart, depending on the area and the amount of fat to be reduced. The chin often responds well to a course of three, with a course of five for the strongest result. Larger areas such as the abdomen or thighs usually need three to five sessions per area. The exact protocol is agreed at consultation and the full course price is confirmed in writing before the first session is booked.

The session itself takes about thirty minutes from greeting to goodbye. The area is cleansed, marked and then injected with a series of small injections using a fine needle or a microcannula. The injection feels like a quick sting; the deeper sensation as the product is placed is more of a warmth or mild aching than a sharp pain. A topical anaesthetic cream is available on request. Treatment effect builds over the following three to four weeks as the body clears the released fat content.

We do not treat patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, who have a known allergy to any component of the formulation including pineapple-derived bromelain, who have an active skin infection in the treatment area, who have a bleeding disorder or are on certain blood-thinning medications, who have significant liver, kidney or heart disease, or who have a history of keloid scarring. Lemon Bottle is not a weight-loss treatment and is not suitable for patients with a high BMI seeking overall fat reduction; it works on localised pockets in patients at or near a stable, healthy weight. Suitability is confirmed by a qualified clinician at your free consultation.

A single chin session is £175, with a course of three at £420, working out to £140 per session, and a course of five at £520, working out to £104 per session. A single session on the love handles is £275, the lower or upper abdomen is £220, the full abdomen as a combined area is £350, and the inner or outer thighs is £350. The course recommended is matched to the size and number of areas at your free consultation, and the full price is confirmed in writing before the first session is booked. There are no upsells in the chair and no hidden charges.
