Fat Dissolving Injections

Like dermal fillers, Fat Dissolving Injection procedures take approximately 20-30 minutes and patients have up to 50 small injections during one treatment session. A template is applied to the target area to ensure even distribution, whilst avoiding anatomical landmarks A series of small injections are administered. When injected correctly, all the healthy cells around the submental fat, remain intact and unaffected, as well as nearby nerves and muscles. With proper care and precision, the chin and neck area can be effectively treated – resulting in a slimmer chin profile.

Most patients experience mild to moderate pain to the area being treated. However, to reduce discomfort, the cosmetic injector will numb the area pre-treatment.

Fat Dissolving prices vary depending on the area being treated and expected result.

• Costs $700 to $950 per ml
• % discounts for additional vials over multiple treatment sessions
• Initial consultation is between $120 – $330, redeemable upon treatment

Fat Dissolving Injections are suitable for both men and women over the age of 18. Ideal candidates will have to have excess fat under their chin, which could either be from weight gain or genetics. It is another non surgical option for those who want to reduce their double chin but are not suitable candidates for Cool Sculpting treatments (Cool Sculpting applicators are a fixed size which may not fit everyone) or for those who do not want to undergo surgical procedures such as liposuction, full facelift or other invasive surgery.

Fat dissolving injections can be used by everyone and customised to the patients fat distribution particularly around the neck area, whereas alternative treatments such as CoolSculpting can only be used on some people if their neck fits the applicator. This means it can be a good non-surgical solution to target small pockets of fat on the face, the banana roll under the buttock, armpit fat and above the knees.

Fat dissolving injections cause fat cell breakdown, meaning the can no longer store or accumulate fat

What are fat dissolving injections for Submental Fullness?

Cosmos uses the latest fat-busting injectable drug. Developed by the pharmaceutical company Allergan, the treatment provides:

• Clinically Proven: Reduces the appearance of submental fullness (double chin fat)
• Customised Results: Injectable treatment tailored to suit each patient’s needs and circumstances
• Contoured Profile: More than 75% of patients reported satisfaction with the appearance of their face and chin. Feeling happier and younger, less embarrassed and less self-conscious (*Results may vary from patient to patient)

The treatment is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid; which is a naturally occurring molecule produced in the body to aid in the absorption of fat. When it is injected into the tissue below the chin, it disrupts the fat cell membrane. As a result, the cells breakdown and release their fatty contents. The body then naturally metabolises and excretes this fat. This breakthrough non-invasive double chin treatment provides another option to the growing number of patients wanting to address this stubborn area. These double chin injections provide patients with treatment options beyond invasive procedures.

Please note that the most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness around the treatment area. All of which will have to be resolved before subsequent treatments.

• Swelling occurs immediately after your treatment making your skin feel tight. The swelling reduces slowly over a 2-3 week period.
• Bruising may occur with all treatments involving injections and your clinician will try to minimise this as much as possible
• During the treatment, there is some discomfort and your clinician will try to reduce this by applying numbing cream and cool packs. After your treatment, the area may feel sore to touch but this will reduce within a few days
• Numbness and the formation of small hard areas are also a common side effect which improves day-by-day
