The double chin… an often unwelcome feature that can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness for many. Whether it’s due to genetics, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process, a double chin can be challenging to get rid of through diet and exercise alone. This is where fat-dissolving injections come into play, offering a revolutionary solution to redefine your jawline and boost your confidence.
Understanding Fat Dissolving Injections
Fat-dissolving injections, scientifically known as injectable Lipolysis, predominantly utilise deoxycholic acid. This naturally occurring molecule in the body aids in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, known as submental fat, it destroys fat cells, resulting in a more contoured chin and neck profile.
The Procedure: What to Expect
- Consultation: The first step is a consultation with one of our qualified practitioners. During this session, your medical history will be reviewed, and an assessment will be made to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
- Treatment Plan: If you’re deemed a good candidate, a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs will be developed. This plan outlines the number of sessions required and the expected outcome.
- The Procedure: The actual procedure is relatively quick, usually taking about 20 to 30 minutes. The area under the chin is marked, and a series of injections are administered. Most patients report minimal discomfort, often described as a series of pinches.
- Post-Treatment: You can expect some swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, which typically subsides within a week or two. Most patients can return to their normal activities within 2-3 days (due to the appearance of swelling and discomfort)
Results and Expectations
Results typically become visible after 1 to 3 treatment sessions, some further treatments may be needed to get your full desired look. It’s important to have realistic expectations – while the results can be significant, they vary from person to person. The treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, and as long as you maintain a stable weight, the results should remain stable. Some further treatments may be needed to get your full desired look. Some patients will get fat-dissolving injections with skin tightening treatments, such as HIFU, or get Dermal Filler for a more contoured jawline.
The Benefits of Fat Dissolving Injections
- Non-Surgical Solution: This procedure offers a non-invasive alternative to liposuction or surgery.
- Minimal Downtime: You can return to your daily routine immediately after the procedure depending on your level of swelling or discomfort. You will be swollen and have slight bruising for a few weeks.
- Targeted Fat Reduction: It specifically targets the submental fat, which is often resistant to diet and exercise.
- Boosted Self-Confidence: Achieving a more defined jawline can significantly improve your self-image and confidence.
How Much Do Fat-Dissolving Injections Cost?
The cost of fat-dissolving injections can vary depending on the number of sessions required. To determine the cost of treatment, a consultation is needed first. Most patients experience visible improvements in the appearance of their chin profile within 1-3 treatments. A minimum of 2 treatments is recommended, and up to 6 treatments may be administered, spaced at least 4-6 weeks apart. While it’s an investment, many find the cost worthwhile for the confidence and satisfaction gained from the results.
So, Are Fat-Dissolving Injections Worth It?
Fat-dissolving injections represent a groundbreaking approach to tackling the stubborn problem of a double chin. It’s a safe, effective, and minimally invasive option that has helped countless individuals achieve their desired aesthetic. Remember, the key to a successful outcome lies in choosing the right practitioner and maintaining realistic expectations.
