LIPOLYSIS (fat dissolving) is a non-surgical treatment that specifically targets and eliminates stubborn fat permanently (submental fat) below the chin.
The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into unwanted fat beneath the skin, LIPOLYSIS (Fat Dissolving) can break down the targeted fat, which is then eliminated by the body and the natural healing process improves the chin profile.

Typically there is slight swelling but minimal discomfort with this treatment. Swelling dissipates within a couple of days (up to a week) and your slimming results will be evident within a couple of months.

Treatments are performed approximately 4-8 weeks apart. During your consultation, you’ll get a better sense of how many appointments are likely to give you the results you want. Most patients require between 2 to 6 treatments with LIPOLYSIS (Fat Dissolving) to achieve an optimal outcome which can last from 5 years and beyond!

• Redness, swelling, firmness/hardness and bruises are common post procedure occurrences, the sensation of burning/stinging that occurs with the procedure generally resolves within the first day. Soreness, swelling and firmness tend to gradually decrease 1-4 weeks following procedure.
• No use of steroids or other anti-inflammatory medications (aspirin, Tylenol, Advil, Aleve etc.) for 48 hours following treatment, to reduce the risk of bruising.
• Avoid exercising and eating salty foods for 48 hours following procedure, to reduce excess swelling.
• May sleep with head propped up on a pillow or two for first few days following procedure to aid in reduction of swelling.
• Ice may be applied to the area to reduce discomfort, best to ice no longer than 2-5 minutes at a time to avoid freezing the tissues. May ice several times daily as needed.
