Our Stance on Lemon Bottle
Patients Safety First:
At CLT Natural Aesthetics, we prioritise through research before introducing new products
into clinic. While Lemon Bottle touts it’s product 100% safe, this claim raises a red flag for us.
No injectable treatment can guarantee absolute safety. Shortterm side effects like discomfort,
reddness, swelling, bruising are common in such procedures and the lack of clinical studies
relating to it’s safety and efficacy is concerning with potential risks.
Virtually Painless:
The claims that Lemon Bottle is virtually painless is questionable. While pain can be
managed during aesthetic procedures, it’s unrealistic to expect a procedure involving
needles and fat cell breakdown to be completely pain free
Insufficient Testing:
Unlike most fat dissolvers containing well-studied ingredients like deoxycholic acid, Lemon
Bottle’snatural formularlacks active pharmaceutical ingredients. Marketed as a cosmetic
product, it bypasses rigorous clinical trials typically required for medical products. It’s easily
available online on platforms like eBay which raise further concerns about it’s safety
Medical Professionals and Switzland Insights:
A survey conducted by Dr Elle on Instagram revealed that a large majority of medical
professionals(96%) do not offer Lemon Bottle injections. Reasons included lack of clinical
evidence, limited ingredient information, and its popularity among non medical injectors.
Gillian Murray injector, prescibing pharmacist also expresses concern for product.
