Fat-Dissolving Injections

The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When injected under the chin into the fatty tissue this destroys fat cells, resulting in a gradual and increasingly noticeable reduction in fullness in the area.

Submental fullness is a collection of excess fat beneath the chin, commonly known as a “double chin.” It can be something a person has throughout life due to genetic factors or begins to appear with ageing or alongside weight gain. Often even with significant weight loss, many people find this area is stubborn and very difficult to lose.

Since everyone is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient, depending on anatomical factors and the amount of fatty tissue. Typically 2-3 sessions are needed for most people depending on the amount of tissue and desired result.

Owen helps to determine how many treatment sessions you will need based on the amount and distribution of the fat under the chin and your treatment goals.

Each DesoFace fat-dissolving treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments.

Once destroyed, fat accumulation in the area is stopped, so in most cases, further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

The most common side effects are swelling, pain, numbness, redness, and hardness in the treatment areas. This typically fades over 24 hours but can feel sore for a couple of days.

Adverse effects are usually mild, including redness and swelling over days as the fatty tissue begins to break down. Serious adverse effects are rare.
