What is Body Contouring?
Body contouring refers to a variety of treatments designed to reshape and sculpt your body by reducing stubborn fat deposits.
At Crystal Cosmetic Clinic in North York, body contouring means reshaping and refining your appearance through fat dissolving injections.
This non-surgical method helps reduce localized fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, creating smoother contours and enhancing your natural shape.
How Does Fat Dissolving Injection Work?
Our fat-dissolving treatments use deoxycholic acid, a bile acid naturally found in your body, to break down fat cells in targeted areas.
Once the fat cells are destroyed, your body eliminates them naturally through the lymphatic system.
✅ Belkyra® (known as Kybella® in the US) is the FDA-approved standard for treating double chin fat and is widely trusted worldwide.

Common Treatment Areas

Are Fat Dissolving Treatments Safe?
Fat dissolving injections are generally safe when administered by experienced professionals.
❗ These treatments are not suitable if you are:
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Suffering from fat metabolism disorders
Experiencing skin infections at the injection site
We provide a thorough consultation to ensure suitability.
To ensure the safest experience, we provide detailed guidance on how to prepare for your session. Download our Before Care Guide (PDF) for important pre-treatment tips.
How Long Does the Procedure Last?
A typical fat dissolving injection session at Crystal Cosmetic Clinic takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the number of injections needed.
🕒 Downtime & Recovery
Following treatment, it’s normal to experience some mild to moderate swelling, especially in the first few days. This is part of the body’s natural process of breaking down and clearing away fat cells.
Swelling usually peaks around 2–3 days post-treatment and improves steadily over the next 1 to 2 weeks.
Some tenderness, redness, or slight bruising may occur but generally resolves within several days.
Most clients feel comfortable returning to light daily activities soon after, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, heat exposure, and alcohol for 48–72 hours to support the healing process.

How Long Do Results Last?
Fat dissolving injections produce long-lasting results if you maintain a stable weight. Once fat cells are destroyed, they don’t regenerate — but weight gain can cause new fat to accumulate.
