Lemon in a Bottle is being dubbed as a fat dissolver, yet it isn’t even listed as a medication. We’ve reviewed the evidence and unfortunately can’t actually find any significant scientific evidence on Lemon in a Bottle directly dissolving fat cells.
There are several types of products for fat dissolving within the aesthetic industry, in this blog we’re not talking about devices/ machines leading to fat loss, we are purely discussing fat dissolving medicines/ injectables.
There are two main types of injections:
Injections to the site of concern (deoxycholic acid based medicines such as Kybella, Aqualyx and Deso).
Injections to effect the body’s metabolism and/or appetite (medications such as liraglutide, brand name: Saxsenda)
Unfortunately ‘Lemon in a bottle’ is the latest of a series of treatments being offered in the aesthetics industry, with little or no scientific evidence to support what they claim to do.
‘Lemon in a bottle’ is not a medicine, it’s a cosmetic product, meaning it doesn’t require FDA/ CE type regulation and so it’s not gone through robust safety testing on humans. It doesn’t contain direct fat dissolving compounds such as deoxycholic acid. In fact, it has very little scientific evidence to support its claims. Whether or not it aids fat metabolism in humans, this certainly needs more substantial research and evidence.
We would offer caution to anyone considering treatments that
1. Don’t have an FDA/CE type approval
2.Dont have scientific evidence to support their claims.
3.Potentially claim to do something they don’t.
Don’t go for the latest fad or whopping discount. Don’t go for practitioners that use false claims/ have a dubious ethical practice.
Stay safe and choose a practitioner with valid credentials, such as a medical background, a prescriber, someone who keeps up to date with training and someone who practices aesthetics with the patient as their priority.
