Overview
An aesthetic “fat-dissolving” injection, a blend (bromelain + riboflavin + lecithin) injected into a pocket of fat (chin, flanks) to break it down.
This is an in-clinic aesthetic procedure, not a peptide protocol; it’s best done by a trained injector.
What It Does
Lemon Bottle is a lipolytic injectable combining bromelain (a pineapple enzyme), riboflavin (vitamin B2), and lecithin (phosphatidylcholine).
Injected into subcutaneous fat, it disrupts fat-cell membranes so the fat is metabolized and cleared.
Used for small, stubborn fat pockets; not large-area weight loss.
Presentation
| Vial | Form | Concentration | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mL | Ready-to-use solution | Pre-mixed | No reconstitution. Drawn into syringes for multiple micro-injections across the treatment area. |
PROCEDURE (CLINIC)
| Area | Frequency | Volume | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small area (e.g. chin) | Every 7–10 days | ~15–20 cc | Multiple micro-injections into the fat layer. Max ~30 cc per area, ~100 cc per body per session. |
| Course | 2–4 sessions | – | Spaced 1–2 weeks; results build across sessions. Aftercare: expect swelling/bruising for days; avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and heat for ~48 h; hydrate (2+ L/day) to clear dissolved fat. Note: best performed by a trained aesthetic injector who knows the anatomy, wrong-plane injection causes nodules or damage. By sex: Unisex fat-dissolving injectable, technique-dependent, not sex-dependent. Avoid in pregnancy / breastfeeding. |
Handling & Stacking
Injection site
SubQ into the fat pocket, multiple points. Professional technique.
Storage
Per product labeling; refrigerate after opening. Single-use draws.
Side effects
Swelling, bruising, tenderness, redness, firmness/nodules for days–weeks. Rare infection or injury if mis-injected.
What to expect
- Gradual reduction of a small fat pocket over a few sessions, with notable initial swelling.
- Supply math 10mL → per-area procedure, volume depends on the treatment area and number of sessions.
Pairs well with
Not a stacking compound, it’s a standalone aesthetic procedure
Avoid
Pregnancy/lactation. Bromelain/pineapple allergy. Bleeding disorders/anticoagulants. Infection at the site. Large-area “weight loss” expectations
Safety & Patient Education
Contraindications
Pregnancy and lactation Bromelain / pineapple allergy Bleeding disorders or anticoagulant therapy Active infection or skin condition at the site
Warnings
Significant swelling and bruising are expected Mis-injection (wrong plane) can cause nodules, fat irregularity, or tissue injury; technique-dependent Not for large-area fat / weight loss Not FDA-approved as a fat-dissolving drug in the US
Drug interactions
Anticoagulants / antiplatelets / fish oil: increased bruising/bleeding Bromelain may potentiate anticoagulant effects
Labs
None routinely; bleeding history review beforehand
Stop criteria
Signs of infection (spreading redness, warmth, pus, fever) Severe or persistent nodules / skin changes Allergic reaction
Patient education
An aesthetic procedure for small fat pockets, have it done by a trained injector Expect days of swelling/bruising; hydrate well afterward Not a weight-loss treatment Disclose allergies and any blood thinners beforehand
