Fat-dissolving injections in Bangkok

Fat-dissolving injections, called mesofat, are offered by aesthetic clinics across Bangkok: a fat-dissolving solution is injected into a small pocket of fat, in a short visit.

Clinics in Bangkok price by the amount of solution (by the cc, the syringe or the bottle) or by the area, and sell courses. Most people need several sessions, so ask for the total.

About fat-dissolving injections

Fat-dissolving injections, called mesofat in Thailand, put a fat-dissolving solution into a small pocket of fat under the skin through many small injections. Clinics say the fat breaks down and the body clears it over the following weeks.

Clinics use different products: one Bangkok clinic names phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and deoxycholic acid; others sell branded solutions such as Phytobella, BABI Neo One, FNC and Sisi, or their own formula. It treats small pockets of fat and is not a way to lose weight.

Techniques and approaches

The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.

Cheeks and jawline

The most common area. One clinic starts at 6 cc a session for both cheeks.

Under the chin

One clinic starts at 6 cc a session; another uses 5 to 10 cc.

Arms, belly and thighs

Larger areas need more solution: one clinic uses 20 to 40 cc a session on the arms or belly, and from 40 cc on the legs.

The decisions you will make

These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.

Which product

Prices differ by brand. Ask which product, see the bottle and its lot number, and ask whether it is registered with the Thai FDA.

How many cc

Clinics price by the cc, the syringe, the bottle or the area. Ask how much solution you will get, and how many cc are in a syringe.

Injections or liposuction

One clinic's doctor advises liposuction instead for the belly, thighs, arms and under the chin.

What the trip involves

Clinics vary, and your clinician’s plan overrides anything on this page. The shape is consistent.

  1. 1Before you fly

    Sessions are one to four weeks apart, so a course takes several visits.

  2. 2Consultation

    The doctor checks the area and decides the product and how much to use.

  3. 3The session

    A cold compress or numbing cream, then many small injections. One clinic says 15 to 60 minutes.

  4. 4Afterwards

    Swelling settles within hours with some products and up to a week with others. Most people go back to normal activities the same day.

  5. 5The first week

    One clinic advises no sauna or laser for a week; another no sauna, alcohol or hard exercise for 48 hours.

  6. 6Result

    Clinics say change starts to show after about a week, and is clearer at two to four weeks.

Ask these before you pay a deposit

Formatted as a numbered list, ready to email a clinic.
  1. Who is treating me, and what are their qualifications?

    A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.

  2. What is included in the price, and what is not?

    Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.

  3. Is the deposit refundable, and under what conditions?

    Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.

  4. What if it needs correcting?

    Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.

  5. Who do I contact after I go home, and in what language?

    A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.

Questions

Is the price on this page a quote?

No. It is a starting price for one session. The clinic sets the amount after the doctor sees the area.

How long does it last?

Clinics disagree. Two say the treated fat cells are gone for good; two say results last about two to four months. All say new fat can build up if you gain weight.

How many sessions will I need?

Clinics advise three to six, one to four weeks apart.

Is there any downtime?

Little. Swelling lasts from a few hours to about a week, depending on the product.

Who should not have it?

One clinic says not during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with autoimmune, liver or kidney disease, or with a skin infection in the area.
