Chin up and strut
Fat Dissolving Injections are a non-surgical treatment that can improve the appearance of a double chin.
It is common in both men and women to carry a pocket of fat that contributes to the fullness of a double chin and usually genetics are to blame.
For some people this means a heaviness around their jawline that can contribute to a saggy, aged appearance as well as a loss of jawline contour.
Fat Dissolving Injections contain a synthesised version of a naturally occurring bile acid present in the digestive system. Its normal role is to break down the fats we consume in our diet. When used as a fat dissolving medication, targeted injections of the bile acid destroys fat cells. This reduces the overall amount of fat in the area of treatment. Treating a double chin carries an added bonus of producing a more contoured jawline and neck profile.
As the body is unable to replace the destroyed fat cells, results of this treatment are permanent.
Fat Dissolving Injections are a prescription medication and as such require a thorough consultation to determine suitability.
The treatment area is numbed prior to the medication being delivered by a series of small injections.
You can expect to be swollen in the days and sometimes weeks after the procedure. Usually, the more swelling that is produced, the better the results!
Patients usually undergo a course of treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart.
Many patients experience visible improvements in the appearance of their chin profile in 2-4 sessions. Some people require up to 6 treatments in order to achieve their best results.
Once your desired result is achieved, treatment is complete. Studies demonstrate long term lasting of results (please note – future weight gain could impact this).
