Fat Dissolving Injections

Double Chin Treatment

Ready to say goodbye to your double chin? Fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce stubborn fat beneath the chin and create a more defined profile.

Ageing, genetics, and weight gain can all contribute to a double chin and unfortunately, diet and exercise don’t always target this area. Fat dissolving injections can help break down unwanted fat, helping you achieve a slimmer, more contoured appearance.

While the double chin is the most common treatment area, fat dissolving injections can also be used to treat other small, stubborn pockets of fat on the face and body, depending on your concerns and suitability for treatment.

How it Works

When injected, fat dissolving injections work to reduce double chins by permanently destroying targeted fat cells. Then, the bursted fat cells are transported through the bloodstream to the liver, and out of the body.

Depending on your cosmetic goals, we typically recommend between 2-6 treatments to effectively reduce your double chin or targeted area.

Aqualyx™ is one of the more recent products to arrive in New Zealand, and is the most popular fat dissolving injectable across Europe. Aqualyx™ is a deoxycholate acid product. The acid that is present in Aqualyx® is already a naturally occuring acid within the human body that has the function to destroy fat cells in the body.

Aqualyx™ is recommended for treating stubborn pockets of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise. For example, a treatable area might be the jawline, prejowl succulus, armpits, upper arms, back, inner and outer thighs, knees, hips or buttocks. On average, 3-5 Aqualyx™ treatments are needed to see results. 

Belkyra® is another example of a non-surgical, injectable for fat dissolving that effectively reduces the double chin within 2-6 treatments, leaving a more defined, contoured jawline and neck profile. In a similar manner, this product destroys and breaks down the fat cells and removes them through the body’s own waste systems. Once the cells are broken down they can no longer store or accumulate fat and this leaves you with a more contoured jaw and neck profile. 

FAQ

How much does it cost to remove a double chin?

Cost varies depending on the size of the treatment area and number of treatments required.

For moderately sized double chins, only 2-3 treatments are necessary. For larger chins, upwards of 6 treatments may be required. For information about treatment pricing, come in for a free consultation or get in touch.

Is Belkyra® safe?

Belkyra®  is approved by the FDA. Belkyra® contains a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occuring substance, which bursts fat cells to reduce the size of double chins. 

And because the treatment is non-surgical, there’s minimal risk for scarring or a need for local anaesthesia. 

Note - This treatment is not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Is it effective?

Yes, double chin reduction with Belkyra® is effective. Belkyra® permanently destroys fat cells in your neck/chin area so that they’ll never come back. 

Please note that fat cells are not the only cause of double chins. Things such as deep-lying fat, large neck & jaw muscles, and enlarged glands may also cause double chins, for which Belkyra® is not effective at treating.
