Intralipotherapy uses injections of deoxycholic acid to disrupt fat cell membranes. Treated fat cells are broken down and removed naturally by the body’s lymphatic system over several weeks, gradually improving arm contour.

Ideal candidates have localized fat pockets in the upper arms and are near their target weight. A consultation evaluates health, skin laxity, and goals to confirm suitability and design a safe, effective treatment plan.
