Fat Dissolving Injections are a non-surgical treatment specifically designed to reduce small, stubborn fat deposits in the face, particularly under the chin. This procedure uses a special solution to break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body, resulting in a more defined and contoured facial appearance.
✔ Non-Surgical: Achieve facial contouring without surgery or scarring.
✔ Effective for Double Chin: Specifically targets and reduces fat under the chin for a more sculpted jawline.
✔ Permanent Fat Reduction: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they are permanently eliminated.
✔ Minimal Downtime: Quick recovery with only mild swelling or bruising for a few days.
✔ Quick Procedure: Treatment is fast, typically lasting less than 30 minutes.
The treatment starts with applying a local anesthetic to ensure comfort, followed by precise injections of the fat-dissolving solution into the area under the chin. The solution breaks down fat cells, which the body gradually metabolizes over several weeks. The entire process takes about 20-30 minutes, with minimal downtime, and patients can usually resume normal activities shortly after the treatment.
Book TreatmentResults from fat dissolving injections usually become visible after about 4-6 weeks, as the body gradually breaks down and eliminates the treated fat cells. The final outcome is a reduction in fat under the chin or other areas, leading to a more contoured appearance. However, it often takes multiple sessions—typically 2-3 treatments spaced about a month apart—for optimal results. Patience is key as the process is gradual, but the results are lasting.
Yes, fat dissolving injections provide permanent results. Once the fat cells are destroyed by the injected solution, they are eliminated by the body and do not return. However, it is important to note that while the treated fat cells are permanently removed, gaining weight in the future could cause the remaining fat cells in the area to expand. Maintaining a stable weight after treatment helps ensure that the results last over time.
The level of discomfort during fat dissolving injections varies from person to person, but the procedure can be mildly uncomfortable. To alleviate this, a numbing cream is applied before the injections to reduce pain, and ice packs may be used during and after the session to ease any discomfort. After the procedure, there may be mild swelling or tenderness, but most patients find it manageable, with any discomfort typically subsiding within a few days.
Each session of fat dissolving injections typically involves 20-30 small injections into the target area. The exact number depends on the size of the area being treated. For example, under the chin (for double chin treatment) might require a series of injections to cover the entire area evenly. These injections contain the fat-dissolving solution, which works to break down the fat cells that the body will gradually metabolise and eliminate.
While fat dissolving injections are non-surgical, there is still some downtime. You can expect swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area, especially in the first few days. This is a normal response as the body works to break down and remove the fat cells. Swelling can last up to a week, and it’s recommended to ice the area and rest. Most people return to regular activities within a few days, but full recovery can take a week depending on individual healing.
