Our CPD Accredited Desoface and Desobody Fat Dissolving Course is developed and led by top Surgeons and skilled aestheticians giving you the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the aesthetics industry and leave with the knowledge, skills and confidence to practice.

The innovative ‘fat dissolving’ injections are designed to treat localised pockets of fat. The active ingredient Sodium Deoxycholate dissolves the areas of fat which are difficult to lose via traditional routes such as exercise and diet. The product is separated into a face and body concentration for use on different administration areas.

This course is open to Doctors, Nurses, Midwives, Dentists, Dental Hygienists, Pharmacists, Paramedics, Physiotherapists and Podiatrists who are already trained in Dermal Fillers and have at least six months injecting experience.

Treatment areas covered

Desobody reduces fat from difficult areas such as inner thighs, back, saddlebags, abdomen, arms, knees, top of the back, flanks and lipomas. When treating the face, the drainage of excess fluids takes place as well as reduced localised adiposity resulting in fat reduction for the right patients and improving areas such as a double chin.

Which products will be used?

“Deso is the next generation of injectable ‘fat dissolver’ with active ingredient sodium deoxycholate”

Sodium Deoxycholate is a precursor to deoxycholic acid which is a naturally-occurring bile acid present within the body. Its ability to affect cell membranes in adipocytes when injected makes it perfect for fat dissolving procedures. The main mechanism of sodium deoxycholate is to act on the membrane of fat cells promoting cell lysis.
