Fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical solution designed to reduce small pockets of stubborn fat in areas like the chin, jawline, cheeks, and body. These injections work by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body over time.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle but struggle with localized fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.
Fat dissolving injections use a naturally occurring compound called deoxycholic acid, which helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into targeted areas, it disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cells to break down and be flushed out by the body’s lymphatic system.
The most commonly treated area is the double chin, but fat dissolving injections can also be used on other small areas like the jowls, arms, flanks, and lower abdomen.
Fat dissolving injections are suitable for individuals who:
This treatment is not a weight loss solution but rather a refining and contouring procedure for specific areas.
Common treatment areas include:
Your provider will assess your anatomy and treatment goals to determine if fat dissolving injections are right for the area you wish to target.
The area will be cleansed and marked, and a series of small injections will be made using a fine needle. Numbing cream or a local anesthetic may be applied beforehand for comfort.
The treatment usually takes 15–30 minutes, and you can return to most daily activities immediately afterward.
Some common side effects include:
Swelling is expected—especially under the chin—and can last several days to a week. This is part of the fat cell breakdown and healing process.
The number of treatments needed varies based on the area and amount of fat. Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Once the desired contour is achieved, results are long-lasting, as the destroyed fat cells are permanently eliminated from the body.
Initial changes may be visible within 3 to 4 weeks, with full results appearing after 6 to 12 weeks. As your body continues to metabolize the broken-down fat cells, the treated area becomes slimmer and more contoured over time.
If you’re struggling with stubborn fat under your chin, along your jawline, or in other localized areas, fat dissolving injections offer a safe and effective non-surgical option. Achieve a more contoured and defined appearance—with no downtime and long-lasting results.
