Fat Dissolving is a cosmetic treatment designed to improve the appearance of moderate to severe submental fat, often referred to as a “double chin,” in adults.
Treatment Process
- Deoxycholic acid: DCA is a naturally occurring bile salt in the human body, primarily responsible for aiding in the digestion of dietary fats.
- Fat cell breakdown: Treated into the submental fat area (under the chin), it works by disrupting the cell membranes of fat cells. This disruption causes fat cell breakdown. The released fat is gradually metabolised and cleared away by the body’s natural processes, primarily the lymphatic and circulatory systems.
Expected Results
- The primary goal is to reduce fullness under the chin, leading to an improved profile and a more defined jawline.
- After the treatment, it is common to experience some side effects such as bruising, redness, and swelling. These side effects usually subside over time.
- Results are not immediate and occur gradually as the body’s lymphatic and circulatory systems clear away the cellular debris.
- The number of treatments required can vary depending on the amount of submental fat present. On average, patients may need 2-5 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to achieve their desired results.
- It is essential to note that maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, is crucial for maintaining the results.
Procedure overview
- Procedure Time: 30 minutes
- Downtime required: 24-72 hours
- Result Duration: Once the fat cells have been destroyed your body can no longer store fat in that area. The results are considered long-lasting, as long as the patient maintains a stable weight.
