LEMON BOTTLE

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.

How the blend is built

A cosmetic lipolytic blend, not a single compound. Riboflavin drives mitochondrial activity, bromelain breaks down the surrounding protein matrix, and lecithin emulsifies the released fat.

Research & reference information

Overview

Lemon Bottle is a specialized cosmetic lipolytic solution formulated with natural active agents: Bromelain, Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), and Lecithin.

What problem it targets: It targets small, stubborn localized pockets of subcutaneous fat (such as double chins, jowls, love handles, and bra rolls) that resist diet and exercise.

What It Does

• Breaks down fat cell membranes: High-concentration Lecithin acts as a natural emulsifier, disrupting adipocyte cell membranes and mobilizing stored triglycerides into free fatty acids.

• Accelerates fat metabolism and energy release: Riboflavin (B2) activates cellular fat oxidation, encouraging surrounding cells to burn the newly released fatty acids for energy.

• Calms localized post-treatment swelling: Bromelain (a proteolytic pineapple enzyme) digests cellular debris, minimizes bruising, and suppresses inflammation far better than harsh synthetic deoxycholic acid.

• Realistic expectations: Injected directly into the targeted fat pocket by a trained professional. Requires drinking copious water post-treatment to flush broken-down fats; results appear across 2 to 4 sessions spaced weeks apart.

10 mLReady-to-use solutionPre-mixedNo reconstitution. Drawn into syringes for multiple micro-injections across the treatment area.

PROCEDURE (CLINIC)

AreaFrequencyVolumeNotes
Small area (e.g. chin)Every 7–10 days~15–20 ccMultiple micro-injections into the fat layer. Max ~30 cc per area, ~100 cc per body per session.
Course2–4 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
