Targeted Fat Reduction

Unlike traditional methods like diet and exercise, Deoxycholic acid Injection specifically targets and eliminates fat cells under the chin. This results in a more sculpted and defined jawline without affecting surrounding areas.

Long-lasting Results

The results of Deoxycholic acid Injection can be long-lasting. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, providing a lasting solution for reducing submental fat and achieving a more contoured appearance.

the treatment process

Deoxycholic acid Injection is a straightforward process that begins with a consultation to assess your suitability for the treatment. During the procedure, the area under the chin is cleaned and marked for precise injection points. Deoxycholic acid is then injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The acid works by destroying the cell membrane of fat cells, causing them to rupture and release their contents. The body then naturally processes and eliminates these fat cells over time. 


The treatment typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the area being treated. After the injection, you may experience some swelling, bruising, or numbness, which should subside within a few days. It is recommended to avoid strenuous activities for a few days after the treatment and to follow any post-procedure care instructions provided by your healthcare professional.

after care tips

Aftercare for Deoxycholic acid Injection is relatively simple but crucial for optimal results and minimal side effects. Here are some tips to follow:


Avoid Touching or Rubbing: It's important to avoid touching or rubbing the treated area immediately after the injection to prevent irritation and ensure the acid stays in the targeted areas.


Apply Ice Packs: Applying ice packs to the treated area can help reduce swelling and discomfort. Wrap the ice pack in a cloth and apply it to the area for 10-15 minutes at a time.


Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from engaging in strenuous activities for a few days following the treatment to allow the area to heal properly.


Follow a Healthy Diet: Eating a healthy diet and staying hydrated can help support the body's natural healing process and optimize the results of the injection.
