What is the Lipodissolve - Double Chin Treatment?
The Lipodissolve Double Chin treatment is a nonsurgical deoxycholic acid injectable technique used to target fat cells in the chin area.
Deoxycholic acid is a cytolytic drug that physically disrupts the cell membrane when injected into the tissue. The fat released by the fat cells is then removed by the body’s repair system and transferred by the bloodstream to the liver, where it is excreted out of the body.
What are the benefits?
Fullness under the chin can impact how a person feels about themselves and can lead to feelings of negative self-impression. The Lipodissolve Double Chin treatment is a non-surgical injectable treatment to reduce fullness under the chin. This treatment will dissolve the fat cells under the chin, reducing the appearance of a double chin.
What are the risks?
The substance used for Lipodissolve Double Chin injections has been completely cleared by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in Australia, as well as the FDA in the US. Any side effects that occur are temporary.
How many treatment will I need to achieve results?
Repeated treatments will depend on the individual and the device of our registered nurse, who will be able to advise the best time to make your next appointment if required. Many people experience improvement after two to four treatments spaced at least 4 weeks apart. A maximum of six treatments may be administered. This treatment dissolves fat in the injected area, making it virtually impossible to re-accumulate. However, excessive weight gain after this non-surgical treatment may reverse your results. Therefore, we recommend you follow a healthy diet and exercise plan to limit dietary fat and maintain your results.
What happens during the treatment?
The usual procedure for patients looking to dissolve chin fat permanently is:
- A cosmetic injection consultation with our registered nurse is conducted. Your nurse will discuss your background, medical history and and contraindications to the treatment.
- A treatment plan will be designed to set out how we can use the fat dissolver (possibly in conjunction with other techniques and tools) to create the chin and jawline you desire.
- The number of injections during a single session can vary from 20 to 50, all in the underside of the chin.
Is it painful?
Double Chin Fat Dissolver injections are administered by a medical professional using a very fine needle. Many people say they feel like a mosquito bite. Without local anaesthesia, we would rate the pain of the injections at around 0.5/10.
What should I expect after the treatment?
Results will vary from client to client, but you should expect initial swelling and discomfort, which can be treated with ice and simple over-the-counter pain medication.
The most common side effects associated with double-chin-reducing injections include pain at the injection site, swelling, bruising, numbness, redness, tingling, the formation of small areas of hardness, warmth and discolouration, and itching around the treatment area.
Can this treatment be combined with other treatments or procedures?
Yes. Dermal Rolling and Dermal Fillers are great treatments if you’re looking for a complete facial overhaul. However, waiting two weeks after your procedure before undergoing any treatments is advised.
