Fat dissolving FAQs
-
A: Submental fat dissolving is a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce unwanted fat specifically beneath the chin, helping to create a more defined jawline and a contoured neck profile.
-
A: These treatments involve injecting a solution containing deoxycholic acid into the targeted fat. Deoxycholic acid is a natural molecule in your body that helps break down fats. When injected, it destroys the fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by your body.
-
A: Yes, once the targeted fat cells are destroyed by the treatment, they are permanently eliminated from your body. This means they cannot re-accumulate fat in the treated area, offering a lasting solution for stubborn fat pockets.
-
A: Absolutely! While very popular for the double chin, fat dissolving treatments can also be used on other small, localised areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise, such as certain areas on the body like bra bulges or small pockets on the thighs.
-
A: For optimal results with submental fat dissolving, a series of treatments is usually required. The injections are administered every 8 to 12 weeks, and a minimum of two treatment sessions is generally recommended. Your practitioner will advise you on the best course of action for your individual needs.
