Fat Dissolving Injections

Pre-Treatment Care

• MySkin Clinics recommend clients avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment because alcohol thins the blood and may lead to bleeding and bruising.
• Treatment is not suitable for pregnant women or lactating mothers and should be deferred. 

Post-Treatment Care

• It is important that you do not recline but remain upright for four hours following treatment.
• Do not rub/touch around the injected area for at least 12 hours.
• Only Jane Iredale mineral makeup may be used for 24 hours as it is not absorbed by the skin.
• All exertion and exercise are to be avoided for 24 hours after treatment.
• No skin treatments such as microdermabrasion, peels or laser rejuvenation undertaken for 7 days.
• Some bruising is normal and only of concern if it persists for more than 7 days, in which case please contact MySkin Clinics therapist.
• Minor bumps, pimples or redness at injection sites may be experienced after treatment. This is both normal and temporary

What are Fat Dissolving Injections?

Fat dissolving injections are non-surgical cosmetic treatments specifically designed to reduce excess fat under the chin and improve the appearance of a double chin. The injections contain a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which breaks down and eliminates fat cells in the treated area.

How do Fat Dissolving Injections work?

The injections are administered directly into the targeted area under the chin. The deoxycholic acid in the injections disrupts the membranes of the fat cells, causing them to break down. Over time, the body naturally metabolises and eliminates these fat cells, resulting in a reduction of the double chin appearance.

Am I a suitable candidate for Fat Dissolving Injections?

Fat dissolving injections for double chin fat are generally suitable for individuals with moderate to severe submental fullness or a visible double chin. However, it is important to book a consultation with our Cosmetic Nurses who can assess your specific situation and determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment.

How many treatment sessions are needed for Fat Dissolving Injections?

The number of treatment sessions required can vary depending on factors such as the amount of fat under the chin and the desired results. Typically, multiple sessions are needed, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Our expert Cosmetic Nurses will create a personalised treatment plan based on your needs.

What can I expect during and after my Fat Dissolving Injections treatment?

During the treatment, our Cometic Nurses will carefully administer the injections to the targeted area under your chin. You may experience some temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or numbness in the treated area, but these effects should subside over time. Following the treatment, it’s important to follow our post-treatment care instructions provided after your appointment.

Are the results of Fat Dissolving Injections permanent?

The results of fat dissolving injections are long-lasting. Once the fat cells are destroyed and eliminated, they typically do not return. However, it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle and manage your weight to sustain the results over time.

Are Fat Dissolving Injections safe?

Fat dissolving injections have been approved by regulatory authorities and have a proven safety record when administered by qualified Cosmetic Injectors. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. It’s crucial to discuss any concerns or medical conditions with our Cosmetic Nurses before undergoing the treatment.

Can Fat Dissolving Injections be combined with other treatments?

Depending on your specific needs and goals, we recommend combining fat dissolving injections with LED Light Therapy to enhance the overall results and reduce any swelling following treatment. Our Cosmetic Nurses will create a personalised treatment plan for you based on your aesthetic goals.
