Stubborn fullness under the chin can be difficult to address with diet and exercise alone. Our non-surgical fat-dissolving treatment is designed to target and break down unwanted fat cells in the submental area, helping to create a slimmer, more contoured jawline.

The key ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occuring substance in the body that helps break down stubborn fatty tissue and absorbs the fat. Once the fat cells are treated, they are gradually eliminated by the body, preventing them from storing fat in the future.

Most clients require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart, for optimal results. However, the exact number of treatments will depend on individual goals and the amount of fat being treated.

Your appointment begins with a thorough assessment and discussion of your expectations.

During your treatment we will use ice and topical numbing cream to the neck prior to administration to enhance your comfort.

Before starting the deoxycholic acid injections, we will apply a grid pattern on the treatment area to guide the desired injection sites. Each injection lasts for only a moment, and the entire appointment typically lasts less than 1 hour.

We embrace swelling post treatment as this indicates the injections are working as they are supposed to. Usually swelling will last 1 week to 1 month. So take out those beautiful turtle necks and scarfs. The fall and winter season is a perfect time to have this treatment.

You may also experience some redness, tenderness, or bruising, but these symptoms typically go away on their own within a few days.

For the best results, we recommend a minimum of 2 treatments spaced 8 weeks apart.

Results gradually appear during the weeks and months following treatment. The best news is that the results are permanent!

Normal reactions include:

✔ Swelling (most noticeable after the first session), lumps, and/or firmness

✔ Tenderness and mild discomfort

✔ Redness or bruising at the injection sites

✔ Temporary numbness, tingling, or firmness in the treated area

• Apply a cold compress for comfort but avoid excessive pressure.

• Keep the area elevated when possible to reduce swelling.

• Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive salt intake for 24 to 48 hours to minimize fluid retention.

• Stay hydrated to support your body’s natural healing process.

• Results develop gradually over 8 to 12 weeks as your body clears the treated fat cells.

This treatment provides long-lasting results, as once the fat cells are eliminated, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight will help preserve your results.
