Fat dissolving is always a course, never a single session, and the products divide cleanly into two chemistries and two formats — face and body. FillerFace holds the main UK lines in stock — Aqualyx, Lemon Bottle, Deso, Lipo Lab, Skinny Bottle, Pine Bottle and Cincelar — from £9.99 a vial. This guide covers how to choose, then goes brand by brand with pack prices and cost per ml, every product linked so you can check stock as you go.
Prices are correct at the time of writing. For body contouring solutions that aren't fat dissolvers — L-carnitine, firming cocktails — see the mesotherapy buying guide.
The two chemistries
- Deoxycholate and phosphatidylcholine — the established route, and the products most practitioners trained on. Aqualyx, Lipo Lab and Deso sit here. Longer track record; a known protocol.
- Riboflavin-based — the newer route. Lemon Bottle leads it, with Skinny Bottle alongside. Generally reported as more comfortable in treatment, which is much of why this group has taken the largest share of new treatments.
Most clinics end up carrying one of each: the deoxycholate line their practitioners know, and Lemon Bottle because patients ask for it by name.
Face or body
Submental and jawline work needs small volumes and a gentler product; body contouring — abdomen, flanks, thighs, upper arms — needs meaningful volume per session. Several ranges make a version of each.
| Area | Options in stock |
|---|---|
| Face: double chin, jawline, jowls | DesoFace, Lipo Lab V-Line, Aqualyx (single vial), Lemon Bottle (single vial) |
| Body: abdomen, flanks, thighs, arms | DesoBody, Aqualyx (10x 8ml), Lipo Lab (10x 10ml), Lemon Bottle (5x 10ml), Skinny Bottle, Pine Bottle, Cincelar Plus+ |
| Cellulite (not fat) | Alidya — a different mechanism and goal, from the Jalupro manufacturer |
The ranges, brand by brand
Aqualyx
The name the category was built on. Aqualyx (10x 8ml) £129.99 for the course box, or a single 8ml vial at £15.99 to trial or for small facial areas. Note for anyone searching "Aqualyx filler": it isn't one — it dissolves fat rather than adding volume.
Deso
Two products, one for each format. DesoFace (5x 5ml) £90.99 for submental and jawline work; DesoBody (1x 20ml) £77.99 for body areas. The Deso range is here.
Lipo Lab
The value deoxycholate line. Lipo Lab (10x 10ml) £39.99 — 100ml for under £40 — Lipo Lab V-Line (5x 10ml) £45.99 for the face, and the PPC single vial at £9.99, the lowest-priced vial in the category.
Lemon Bottle
The riboflavin product that changed the category. Single 10ml £19.99, 5x 10ml £74.99. Patients ask for it by name, so most clinics keep it in even if they run a deoxycholate line for body work. The Lemon Bottle range is here.
Skinny Bottle, Pine Bottle and Cincelar
- Skinny Bottle (5x 10ml) £52.99 — the other riboflavin-based option.
- Pine Bottle (5x 10ml) £44.99 — body course at a value price.
- Cincelar Plus+ (5x 8ml) £73.99 — fat dissolving and body contouring in 8ml vials.
Alidya
Alidya £69.99 is the one product here that isn't a fat dissolver: it's aimed at the appearance of cellulite, run as a course, from Professional Dietetics (the Jalupro manufacturer). If the complaint is texture rather than a fat pocket, this is the product.
The whole category is on the fat dissolvers page, with live stock.
Cost per ml, at current prices
Doses and vial sizes differ between products, so price per box tells you little. Per ml, at the prices above:
| Product | Pack | Price | Per ml |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lipo Lab | 10x 10ml | £39.99 | £0.40 |
| Pine Bottle | 5x 10ml | £44.99 | £0.90 |
| Lipo Lab V-Line | 5x 10ml | £45.99 | £0.92 |
| Skinny Bottle | 5x 10ml | £52.99 | £1.06 |
| Lemon Bottle | 5x 10ml | £74.99 | £1.50 |
| Aqualyx | 10x 8ml | £129.99 | £1.62 |
| Cincelar Plus+ | 5x 8ml | £73.99 | £1.85 |
| DesoFace | 5x 5ml | £90.99 | £3.64 |
| DesoBody | 1x 20ml | £77.99 | £3.90 |
Per ml is not per treatment — a concentrated product uses less — so read this alongside each product's own protocol. Multi-buy pricing applies on many lines at checkout.

Aqualyx or Lemon Bottle?
Different chemistries. Aqualyx is the deoxycholate product most practitioners trained on; Lemon Bottle is riboflavin-based and generally reported as more comfortable, and patients ask for it by name. Many clinics run both.
