Sculpt the perfect profile How Do the Injections Work?

Our fat dissolving injections Sydney treatment involves a product that contains deoxycholic acid which works by breaking down cells in fatty tissue. Once the product is injected into the submental fat cell (double chin area) or any other small fat pocket of concern, the fat cells in the area are permanently destroyed by a process known as adipocytolysis. This causes an inflammatory response from the body that stimulates your immune system to clear away any damaged fat cells PERMANENTLY. The destroyed fat cells are excreted through your lymphatic system to never return.

Prior to fat dissolving injections, a comprehensive consultation is required with one of our expert doctors or nurses. The treatment is then performed in any one of our luxury clinics and takes approximately 15 minutes. The area of concern is iced to minimise any discomfort of fat dissolving injections. The doctor will then mark the treatment area to guide safe injection. A series of tiny needles or 2-3 cannulae are used to deliver the fat dissolving product. The amount of product required depends on the patient and how much fat needs to be dissolved. At the end of your treatment, the doctor will gently massage the injected area for 2-3 minutes to enhance the distribution of the product.

Results of fat dissolving injections take up to 4 to 6 weeks to be seen, and most patients require between 2 to 3 sessions for the best possible results.

The Benefits of Injections for Fat Dissolving Treatment 

There are many great benefits to fat dissolving injections or chin sculpting treatment. The biggest advantage is that the results are permanent. Once the fat cells have been destroyed, they are permanently removed from your body. The results of fat dissolving injections show visible improvement to stubborn fat areas over time. The fat is eliminated from the body quickly over a few weeks. As it gradually dissolves, the process leaves the skin under your chin looking firmer and tighter. This is also true of any other stubborn small area that has been treated.

Due to the non-surgical nature of the treatment, there are no signs of incisions or scarring after your treatment and no general anaesthetic is required. The treatment iswith fat dissolving injections is relatively quick and natural as it uses deoxycholic acid – a natural substance already produced by liver, which is used by the body to aid in the digestion of dietary fats.

How Many Treatments Are Needed? 

Most patients who undergo the Fat Burning Injections at Contour Clinics see visible improvements 4 to 6 weeks after one treatment. However, it takes up to 8 to 12 weeks to see maximum results of fat dissolving injections.

Depending on the individual and the amount of fat to be dissolved, it is recommended for most patients to undergo 2 to 3 sessions, approximately 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve the desired results. After your initial consultation with one of our doctors, you will be provided with an accurate indication of how many injections are required.

Once these cells are destroyed, they are permanently excreted over the course of 4-12 weeks and once gone will NEVER return. As the body reacts to the fat dissolving injections, the skin also tightens and firms around the neck, chin and jaw due to increased collagen production. While one session of fat dissolving injections shows visible results on any treated fat cell, those who undergo at least 2 to 3 sessions see dramatic results in the elimination of their double chin and significant enhancement to their facial profile.
