How it works:
Deoxycholic acid is an injectable solution approved for double chin reduction. It works by destroying fat cells under the chin, resulting in a more sculpted and defined profile. Deoxycholic acid, a synthetic version of a molecule naturally produced by the body to absorb fat, specifically targets fat cells without affecting other tissues. The treatment is non-surgical and requires minimal downtime, providing an effective solution for those looking to slim down their jawline without resorting to an invasive procedure.

Accordion Content
Deoxycholic acid is contraindicated in individuals with active infections in the treatment area, coagulation disorders, or in pregnant or lactating women. Prior consultation is required to determine eligibility.
This treatment is specifically designed to reduce excess submental fat. It is suitable for most healthy adults, but a medical assessment is necessary to ensure its suitability for each individual.
Possible side effects include mild pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness and numbness in the treated area. These effects are usually temporary and go away within a few days.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the amount of fat to be treated. On average, 2 to 4 sessions are recommended, spaced approximately one month apart.
Results begin to be visible a few weeks after the first session, with continued improvement after each treatment. Full results are typically seen a few months after the last session.
The treatment is generally well tolerated, but some mild discomfort may be felt. An anesthetic cream may be applied to minimize discomfort.
Recovery time is minimal, with mild swelling and bruising usually disappearing within a week. You can return to your normal activities almost immediately.
Deoxycholic acid is primarily used to treat excess fat under the chin. It is not approved for other areas of the body.
