Double Chin Removal Shellharbour

Deoxycholate acid is a naturally occurring bile acid produced by the liver, which plays a crucial role in breaking down dietary fats. When injected into the subcutaneous fat layer beneath the chin, it works by destroying the fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in the appearance of a double chin. This treatment, also known as ATX-101 or Kybella, has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of moderate to severe submental fullness, commonly referred to as a double chin.

At Secret Skin Shellharbour, the deoxycholate acid injection process begins with an in-depth consultation to assess your suitability for the treatment and discuss your aesthetic goals. The experienced medical professionals will carefully evaluate your medical history, the severity of your double chin, and any potential contraindications.

The treatment itself involves a series of small injections of deoxycholate acid directly into the fat beneath the chin. The number of injections and treatment sessions will vary depending on the individual patient's needs and desired outcomes. Typically, patients may require two to three treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart for optimal results.

Post-treatment, you may experience some swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treatment area, which usually subsides within a few days. There is minimal downtime associated with deoxycholate acid injections, and most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
