Double chin

Introduction:

Double Chin Lipolysis (often referred to as fat-dissolving injections) is a refined aesthetic procedure designed to target and eliminate localised fat deposits beneath the chin. Even with a healthy lifestyle, the submental area can hold onto stubborn pockets of fat due to genetics or ageing, disrupting facial harmony. Our clinic utilises premium, scientifically proven compounds (such as deoxycholic acid) that work to break down the membranes of fat cells. Once destabilised, these cells are naturally processed and permanently removed by the body’s lymphatic system. It is the gold standard for clients desiring a sleek, contoured jawline without the risks or recovery time associated with surgery.

Benefits:

• Permanent Fat Elimination: Once the fat cells are destroyed and metabolised by the body, they do not regenerate, offering lasting results provided a stable weight is maintained.
• Non-Surgical Sculpting: Achieves a slimmer neck and defined jawline without scalpels, general anaesthesia, or scars.
• Enhanced Facial Harmony: Removing heaviness from the lower face restores balance, often making the individual look lighter and more youthful.
• Skin Tightening Potential: As the fat dissolves, the inflammatory response can stimulate collagen production, encouraging the skin to retract and firm up around the new contour.
• Minimal Downtime: A “lunchtime procedure” that allows you to return to most daily activities almost immediately.
• Boosted Confidence: effectively addresses one of the most common aesthetic insecurities, helping you feel great from every angle.

Procedure:

1. Bespoke Consultation: Your journey begins with a private assessment. Our specialist will evaluate the density of the fat pad and your skin elasticity to determine the precise number of sessions required for your ideal result.
2. Comfort & Preparation: The area under the chin is meticulously cleansed and mapped out with a marking grid to ensure even distribution of the product. A topical anaesthetic or ice may be applied to maximise your comfort.
3. Precision Injection: Using ultra-fine needles, the fat-dissolving solution is injected directly into the subcutaneous fat layer at specific intervals. The process is quick and generally well-tolerated.
4. Aftercare Briefing: The treatment concludes within 20-30 minutes. You will receive a comprehensive aftercare pack to manage any swelling and ensure optimal healing.

Contraindications and Safety:

We prioritise your safety above all else. This treatment is not suitable for clients who:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have an active infection or inflammation in the neck/chin area.
• Have difficulty swallowing or pre-existing thyroid disorders (medical clearance may be required).
• Have severe skin laxity (loose skin), as removing fat may exacerbate sagging without concurrent tightening treatments.
• Are allergic to soy (some formulations are soy-derived) or the active ingredients.

All treatments are conducted in our sterile, luxury clinic environment, adhering to strict medical protocols.

Results and Aftercare:

Lipolysis is a gradual process. You will not see results immediately; in fact, swelling is common and expected for the first 3-7 days as the solution disrupts the fat cells. This inflammatory reaction is a positive sign that the treatment is working. Visible reduction typically begins after 4-6 weeks, with the final contour emerging after the full course of treatments (usually 2-4 sessions).

To support your recovery and results:

• Expect swelling, tenderness, and potential bruising for a few days post-treatment.
• Avoid touching or massaging the area for 24 hours to prevent infection.
• Refrain from strenuous exercise and heat (saunas, sunbeds) for 3-5 days.
• Stay well-hydrated to assist your lymphatic system in flushing out the broken-down fat cells.
• Sleep with an extra pillow to elevate your head and reduce swelling for the first few nights.
