Injectable Double Chin Fat Dissolution: What Is It?
A double chin, also known as submental fullness, is often caused by a combination of fat accumulation and skin laxity. It can result from poor nutrition, lack of exercise, hormonal changes, or a sedentary lifestyle.
How Can a Double Chin Be Treated?
Fat-dissolving treatments offer an effective solution for localized fat under the chin, by eliminating unwanted fat cells in a non-surgical and targeted way. Various techniques may be used depending on the patient’s needs and preferences.
At our clinic, we recommend injectable fat-dissolving treatment using Aqualyx, a biocompatible solution injected directly into the fatty tissue. It breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system.
Aqualyx for Double Chin Reduction
Aqualyx contains a combination of compounds specifically designed to target and dissolve fat cells in stubborn areas. Its main active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that aids in fat digestion.
Once injected into the fat layer, Aqualyx disrupts the membrane of fat cells, liquefying the fat, which is then gradually removed by the body through the kidneys. The process reduces localized fat gently and evenly, without causing skin irregularities.
Procedure Details
Aqualyx is recommended for cases where there is pure fat accumulation beneath the chin (not excess skin). The procedure is minimally invasive and performed using fine cannulas.
After treatment, patients are advised to wear a supportive strap for a few days to assist healing and maximize results.
This injectable fat-dissolving method is also suitable for other body areas such as:
- Hips
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Abdomen
Most patients require 3 to 5 sessions spaced approximately 3 weeks apart. While the treatment is very effective on its own, healthy diet and regular exercise will further enhance and maintain the results.
