A popular non-surgical solution for reducing chin fat and slimming the jawline is
fat dissolving injections. This procedure allows for the non-surgical destruction of
fat below the chin using a specialised injectable substance. Destroying this
unwanted localised fat can significantly address a double chin and sculpt the
jawline without surgery.
How Do Fat Dissolving Injections Work?
Double chin injectables, or fat dissolving injections, target submental adipose
cells to selectively destroy the cell membranes. The injections contain
Deoxycholic Acid, a natural substance which is produced by the body to help
break down dietary fats. On injecting deoxycholic acid into the fat below the chin,
fat cell membranes will be destroyed. The cells collapse and are transported out
of the body by our natural waste removal systems.
Are Fat Dissolving Injections Right For Me?
This treatment is not designed to be used for extreme reduction of excess fat.
However, it is ideal for healthy patients who are seeking to reduce localised fat in
areas like the neck and jawline which have proven resistant to diet and exercise.
Fat below the chin is renowned for being extremely stubborn to reduce, even in
the slimmest and healthiest individuals. Fat dissolving injections offer an
effective, non-surgical solution for the treatment of excess chin fat.
What Can I Expect During Treatment?
Before the procedure, you’ll have a complimentary consultation with one of our
Skinnotion injectors, where you will discuss the procedure and decide if it is right
for you. To begin your treatment, local anaesthesia is used to reduce pain as
much as possible. A transparent grid will then be placed onto your chin, acting as
a guide to ensure accuracy of injections and ensuring smooth, balanced results.
The number of injections for a single session may range between 20 and 50
depending on the individual. These are completed in around 20 minutes, followed
by a 10 minute icepack application to reduce pain and swelling.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
This will depend on your desired outcome and the quantity of submental (chin) fat in the area. Significant chin fat often requires multiple sessions to achieve the best results. Subsequent sessions are scheduled four to six weeks after the first session.
Are my results permanent?
Yes, you’ll enjoy a permanent improvement of your chin contour as the targeted
fat cells disappear. This is because the treatment destroys fat cells in the area.
However, excessive weight gain following your treatment may reverse your
results by expanding the remaining fat cells in the area. Therefore, we
recommend you follow a healthy diet and exercise plan to limit dietary fat and
maintain your results.
