Targeted injectable treatment that permanently breaks down stubborn, diet-resistant fat pockets — most famously the double chin — sculpting cleaner contours without surgery.
Injectables · Dr Aesthetics London
Some fat pockets simply refuse to respond to diet and exercise — the double chin being the classic example. Fat-dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid, a substance your body naturally produces to break down fat, injected precisely into the unwanted pocket.
Treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and cleared away by your body over the following weeks. Performed by our clinical team, treatment is carefully mapped, dosed and staged across 2–4 sessions, progressively revealing a tighter, more defined contour — most popularly under the chin, but also for small body pockets.
Why Choose This Treatment
Destroyed fat cells do not return — results are lasting with stable weight.
A genuine alternative to liposuction for small, stubborn areas.
Dissolving a double chin transforms the jaw-neck angle and side profile.
Only the mapped pocket is treated — surrounding tissue is untouched.
Careful dosing and anatomical mapping by our physicians at every session.
Combine with jawline or chin filler for a complete lower-face transformation.
What to Expect
We confirm the pocket is fat (not laxity or other causes) and map the treatment grid.
The solution is injected across the mapped grid. Expect warmth and swelling afterwards.
Your body metabolises the destroyed fat cells over 4–6 weeks.
Most clients need 2–4 sessions, six weeks apart, for full definition.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know — and if your question is not answered here, our clinical team will happily discuss it at your free consultation.
Yes — treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and removed by your lymphatic system. Significant weight gain can enlarge remaining cells, but the treated cells themselves do not come back.
The area — especially under the chin — swells noticeably for 3–7 days, occasionally longer. This is the treatment working, but plan social events accordingly.
Most double chins need 2–4 sessions spaced six weeks apart. We will give you an honest estimate at consultation based on the size of the pocket.
There is a stinging, burning sensation for several minutes after injection, which settles quickly. Numbing cream and cooling make the process very manageable.
