Fat Dissolving

At the Skin Vault Clinic, we offer s non-invasive alternative to surgery or liposuction, designed to target & reduce submental fat-commonly know as a double chin. This treatment helps to achieve a more contoured & defined neck and jawline.

  • Fat dissolving injections, a naturally occurring substance in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat cells. Once treated, these fat cells are permanently eliminated, leaving behind a more sculpted appearance.

  • Typically results are seen after one sessions however, most clients require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, for optimal results. The exact number varies depending on the treatment area and individual response.

  • Common side effects are temporary and may include:

    • Swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection site

    • Mild bruising

    • Skin tightness or firmness

    • A warm or tingling sensation

    • Temporary numbness

    • Injection site reactions (pain, itching, or irritation)

    Rare but possible side effects include:

    • Nerve injury leading to weakness or asymmetry (such as temporary facial or smile asymmetry if treated in the chin area)

    • Difficulty swallowing (when treating under the chin)

    These effects typically subside within a few days to a week, but rare complications should be assessed by a professional.

  • Minimal downtime – most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. However, swelling, bruising & discomfort may last up to 2 weeks, especially in the chin area. Avoid excessive heat, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours to minimise swelling.

  • Yes! Once fat cells are dissolved, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent remaining fat cells from expanding.
