Deoxycholic acid is a non-surgical option for treating a double chin, designed to improve the contour and appearance of this area. This method is suitable for people with a mild to moderate double chin.
The technique involves a series of micro-injections directly into the subcutaneous fatty tissue of the chin area. This causes the gradual and natural dissolution of fat cells. The treatment is carried out without anaesthesia and leaves no scars. Side effects are generally mild and temporary.
A double chin, a common condition in adults, is often genetic in origin and may also be linked to the ageing process. This accumulation of fat is often resistant to diet and exercise.
Generally, the treatment requires 2 to 4 sessions. The results are long-lasting and become visible over a period of 6 to 8 weeks.
