Deoxycholic Acid
FAT DISSOLVING TREATMENT
Dissolve fat cells in unwanted areas.
Deoxycholic Acid is an injectable treatment designed to target and reduce submental fat, commonly referred to as a "double chin." Unlike surgical procedures, this treatment offers a non-invasive solution to redefine the jawline and improve your facial contours.
The primary active ingredient in this treatment is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally present in the body. Deoxycholic acid plays a role in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it selectively destroys fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in submental fullness.
One of the significant advantages of Deoxycholic Acid Fat Dissolver is that it’s non-surgical! This means very little downtime and minimal risks. The number of treatment sessions required typically depends on the patient's specific submental fat distribution. But for many individuals, no more than three treatments are necessary to achieve desired results. This treatment can be particularly beneficial for those who have not achieved the desired results through diet and exercise alone, or for individuals whose double chin is influenced by genetics or hormonal factors.
This treatment has gained recognition as an effective solution for improving facial aesthetics and achieving a slimmer, more defined jawline, ultimately contributing to a more youthful appearance. It’s approved by regulatory bodies such as Health Canada and the FDA for clinical cosmetic use, further emphasizing its safety and effectiveness.

Its common industry names are Belkyra™ (Canada), Kybella™ (USA) or Lipodissolve.

When injected into the chin area, this acid disrupts fat cell membranes, causing the fat to be released and naturally eliminated by your body’s lymphatic and circulatory systems over several weeks.
Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
-
Results can be seen weeks after the first session. But It is recommended to have anywhere between two to six treatments at least a month apart.
The number of treatments recommended will be based on the area treated and the results achieved after each treatment.
During your initial consultation, our practitioner will assess and determine if you are an appropriate candidate for this treatment.

It’s actually a permanent result! Fat cells do not regenerate but rather swell when storing fat.
Once the cells are eliminated they will not grow back.
