CONSULTATIONS FOR NON-SURGICAL FAT REDUCTION
Fat-dissolving treatments use a product that breaks down the fat cell of an area. They utilise the same mechanism that our body’s use to break down fats in our diet, using a weak acid to dissolve fat molecules.
Dr Jake is as a key opinion leader in these treatments and also advises as an expert panel member for AMET (Aesthetic Medical Emergency Team) in fat reducing complications.
