Injectable lipolysis with deoxycholic acid – double chin treatment

Deoxycholic acid lipolysis is an aesthetic medicine procedure used for the treatment of localized fat deposits, especially in the submental area, commonly known as "double chin". Deoxycholic acid is a substance that contributes to the destruction of adipose cells, facilitating their elimination through the body's natural processes.

The treatment acts directly on adipose tissue, contributing to the reduction of submental volume and improvement of the mandibular contour. Results appear progressively, as the body eliminates the destroyed adipose cells.

The procedure is minimally invasive and is performed in a medical office. After treatment, temporary local reactions may occur, such as edema, sensitivity, or mild inflammation in the treated area, which gradually resolve.

Injectable lipolysis is recommended for patients with moderate fat deposits in the submental area, without significant skin excess, being a non-surgical alternative for mandibular line contouring.

To obtain optimal results, generally 2–4 sessions are necessary, performed at intervals determined by the physician, depending on individual response to treatment.
