Cecarrelli Fat Lipolysis is an advanced injectable treatment designed to reduce small, stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet and exercise. Using a unique vitamin C–based solution, this treatment works beneath the skin to gently break down fat cells, helping you achieve a more sculpted, refined appearance, without surgery or downtime.
Unlike older fat-dissolving injections, Cecarrelli works with your body’s natural processes.
This results in a smoother, more natural-looking reduction in volume over time.
This treatment is ideal for small, resistant fat pockets, including:
It’s important to note that this is not a weight-loss treatment, but rather a contouring solution for already healthy individuals.
This treatment is best suited for:
It is not suitable for large fat volumes or generalised obesity.
Compared to traditional fat-dissolving injections, Cecarrelli is often preferred for:
It can also be combined with treatments like skin tightening or body contouring for enhanced results.
At Skin Renewal, Cecarrelli Fat Lipolysis forms part of a doctor-led, holistic treatment plan. Rather than focusing on fat alone, we consider:
This combination approach ensures more balanced, natural-looking results. Cecarrelli Fat Lipolysis is about precision, not drastic change. If you’re looking to refine your contours and target those last stubborn areas, this treatment offers a safe, effective solution.
The Ceccarelli treatments are available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.
Yes, when performed by a trained medical professional, Cecarrelli Fat Lipolysis is considered safe for suitable candidates. The formulation uses naturally occurring substances in the body, and the treatment is designed to trigger a controlled physiological breakdown of fat cells. A thorough medical consultation is essential to ensure it is appropriate for you.
Most patients experience mild discomfort rather than pain. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the solution often contains a local anaesthetic to improve comfort. You may feel a slight burning or pressure sensation during the injections.
Downtime is minimal. You may experience swelling, tenderness, or mild bruising in the treated area for a few days. Still, most patients return to normal daily activities immediately.
Most patients require between 1 and 3 sessions, depending on the size and resistance of the fat pocket. Treatments are usually spaced 3–4 weeks apart for optimal results.
You may start noticing subtle changes within 2–3 weeks, with more visible contour improvement developing over 6–8 weeks as the body naturally clears the treated fat cells.
Yes, the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, maintaining a stable weight is important, as remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain.
No, this treatment is not designed for weight loss. It is best suited for contouring small, localised fat pockets in individuals who are already close to their ideal weight.
Smaller, well-defined fat pockets respond best, such as the double chin, jawline, lower abdomen, love handles, and inner thighs. Larger or more diffuse fat areas may require alternative or combination treatments.
Cecarrelli Fat Lipolysis primarily targets fat, not skin laxity. However, it is often combined with skin-tightening treatments like radiofrequency or microneedling to enhance overall results.
This treatment may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain medical conditions, or are taking specific medications. A full medical consultation is required to assess your suitability.
Yes. For best results, Cecarrelli Fat Lipolysis is often combined with other body contouring or skin treatments to address multiple layers, fat, skin, and overall structure.
The specific fat cells treated are permanently removed. However, if you gain weight, surrounding fat cells can enlarge, which may affect overall contour.

Dr Dominique was kind and professional and tried her best to make me feel comfortable and feel less pain as possible throughout the treatment. My therapist was gentle and thorough throughout treatment, which ended with an amazing shoulder massage. Overall would deffinitly return for both treatments.
