Fat Dissolving
Injectable fat dissolution for the double chin and body — a non-surgical alternative to permanently reduce localized fat deposits.
Non-Surgical Fat Reduction.
Fat dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine-based formulas to permanently destroy localized fat cells in targeted areas. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store fat again.
The most popular area is submental — the area under the chin. Fat dissolving is also effective for small pockets of stubborn body fat like the bra line, inner thighs, knees, and flanks.
Expect swelling and firmness for 1–2 weeks following each session. Most patients see optimal results after 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is fat dissolving permanent?
Yes. Deoxycholic acid permanently destroys fat cells. However, if you gain significant weight, surrounding fat cells can expand. This treatment works best for patients near their ideal weight targeting stubborn pockets.
How much swelling should I expect?
Swelling is significant and expected — especially submentally. The chin and neck area typically swells noticeably for 7–14 days after each session.
Is this a weight loss treatment?
No. Fat dissolving targets specific, localized deposits. For medical weight loss, see our Skinny Club program.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients see best results after 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Some may achieve their goal in 1–2 sessions depending on the area.
