Injections to destroy fat cells
A firm jawline is considered to be a typically masculine trait. Excess fat, which blunts the jawline, can cause some men to feel self-conscious about their appearance. Treatments to reduce the lipids in this area leave patients looking more youthful, slim, and confident.
We have over 20 years of experience in non-surgical cosmetic procedures in men. We appreciate that a double chin is a very common concern and even source of embarrassment for many men. We understand that most men want quick results with minimal downtime.
We use a cutting-edge injection treatment to remove double chins. We work with a natural bile acid called deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy fat cells. No surgery is required. The area is marked, iced and then treated with a series of 20-30 very fine injections. The treatment takes about 30 minutes from walking into leaving. At least 2 treatments are needed to be spaced about 6 weeks apart.
This is a non-surgical treatment with very little downtime.
Patients should arrive clean-shaven under the chin on the morning of treatment. We also recommend an anti-inflammatory tablet on the morning of the procedure (eg Nurofen).
We advise patients don’t return to work on the day of treatment and avoid social events and strenuous exercise for 48 hours. Swelling is the main side effect and is most prominent in the first 12-24 hours. Some bruising can also occur. Regular activity can be resumed after treatment, and there is usually minimal discomfort. Typically there is less reaction with subsequent treatments. No bandaging is needed.
Before and after images are presented purely as a reference point of the results that can be achieved. Everyone is unique and outcomes will vary and realistic expectations need to be discussed on a case by case basis.
