Question 1

What causes fullness under the chin?

Answer

Fullness under the chin, sometimes referred to as “double chin,” is a common, yet under-treated, facial aesthetic concern that can impact a broad range of adults, including both women and men. Causes may include: - Aging: it may naturally develop as you age
- Genetics: simply said, it may be part of your DNA
- Weight changes: it may be a result of gaining weight
Sometimes, no matter how much you diet or exercise, the fullness in this area may not go away, and may make you feel like you look older and heavier than you actually are.

Question 2

What are Double Chin Injections and how do they work?

Answer

'Double Chin Injections' are the only TGA approved injectable treatment in Australia, designed to target and eliminate fat cells under the chin. The key ingredient in Double Chin Injections is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
This perscription only medication gradually improves your chin profile over a number of treatment sessions customized by your nurse. Once your desired results are achieved, re-treatment is not expected.

Question 3

Are Double Chin Injections right for me?

- You eat well and exercised, but fullness under your chin does not go away To confim your suitability for this treatment, schedule a free consultation and assessment.

Question 4

How are Double Chin Injections administered and is there any downtime?

Answer

Before the procedure, your treating nurse will mark the injection sites with a grid and may administer a topical numbing agent or ice pack to ease any pain or discomfort. Usually 20 to 30, and up to 50, injections are used under the chin. The acid then works gradually to kill fat cells, which are metabolized by the body over the following weeks.
The number of treatment sessions necessary varies for each person. Multiple treatments might be needed to reach optimal results. As with other injectable treatments, you may experience side effect from Double Chin Injections. The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain and numbness. For most patients, downtime is minimal and occurred most commonly after the first treatment session. When scheduling your treatments, keep your social plans and work commitments in mind.
