Lemon Bottle: Revolutionary Fat Dissolver or is it Social Media Hype?

Lemon Bottle, by now, you've likely heard of the new kid on the block for fat dissolving. You've seen the video of bacon fat melting before your eyes. The question is, is this a new wonder product or is it slick marketing with everyone jumping on the hype wagon? Make like fat and break it down, as we delve into the truths and myths of fat dissolvers. We'll address commonly asked questions and the need-to-know, before you take that fat-busting jab.

‍What is a Lemon Bottle?

Lemon Bottle is a fat dissolving agent hailing from Korea. The product is made of Riboflavin, also known as Vitamin B2, Bromelain (an enzyme extract found in the stems of pineapples), and Lecithin, which is found within the body. It converts to choline and is involved in the pathway of producing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. In food, it is found in soy and eggs. Lemon Bottle is marketed as a natural fat dissolver that can be used in any volume, anywhere in the body.

How does Lemon Bottle work?

Lemon Bottle solution is injected into the selected areas and claims to break down fat, a process referred to as lipolysis. It is marketed for use in stubborn fat areas such as the tummy and double chin. There is no active drug element in the solution; however, the elements in Lemon Bottle can individually be effective in fat metabolism.

Is Lemon Bottle FDA approved?

Lemon Bottle has not received US or European approval from governing bodies as it does not fall under drug licensing laws. It contains no active pharmaceutical ingredients, nor does it require a CE mark in Europe as it is classified as a cosmetic product and not a medical device or drug.

Is there any data on Lemon Bottle?

There is little or no scientific, peer-reviewed data on Lemon Bottle to validate its efficacy claims, and more importantly, to test its safety profile. There are no clinical trials and no clinical evidence supporting the use of Lemon Bottle as a fat dissolving treatment. The claim that Lemon Bottle has no side effects and no safety issues cannot be substantiated given the lack of data. Personal reviews and testimonials make up the mainstay of the 'data', but there is no scientific basis for this, and medical professionals refer to it as 'anecdotal evidence' - i.e., it has no solid evidence other than personal opinion.

How does Lemon Bottle compare to Aqualyx and Kybella?

In short, it doesn't. Both Aqualyx and Kybella are validated, approved, and well-researched compounds with longstanding safety records and clinical trials validating their use as safe fat dissolving agents for human use. Aqualyx and Kybella are made of sodium deoxycholic acid, a compound found in bile salts that assists in the breakdown of fat in the digestive tract. Aqualyx is made by the Italian company Marllor and is the main fat dissolving agent used in Europe. Kybella is made by the aesthetics giant Allergan and is primarily used in the US and North America.

Do doctors use Lemon Bottle?

Given its poor data sets and little clinical evidence, Lemon Bottle tends to be used by non-medics operating in the realm of beauty rather than aesthetic medicine. Lemon Bottle can be bought on the internet for relatively cheap and can be used and injected by individuals with no medical training. Many view Lemon Bottle as a cheaper option, who may not be concerned about its safety profile.

What are the risks associated with fat dissolving injections like Lemon Bottle?

Any injectable treatment with little data should be viewed as an unknown entity until proven otherwise. Although compounds individually can be safe, the mixture of these has no data to back up its efficacy or safety profile. Any injectable treatment carries risks such as infection, bleeding, skin changes, and allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. The lack of long-term data means there is no dataset to show if there are any long-term side effects to the treatment.

What should you do if you are considering fat dissolving treatments?

First things first, do your research. The medical model is always the safest approach to aesthetic treatments, with training, understanding, and a safety profile of drugs and products being the cornerstone of any medical practice. Ensure your fat dissolving agent is administered by a medical professional in a clinical environment and that the product brand has a tried and tested efficacy and safety profile.
