About This Treatment
Fat dissolving injections offer a non-surgical solution for reducing stubborn pockets of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise. The treatment is particularly effective for submental fat (double chin), helping to create a more defined jawline and profile.
At Aesthetics by Allure, we use this treatment to help clients achieve a more contoured appearance without the need for surgery. The active ingredient permanently destroys fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by your body over several weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do fat dissolving injections work?
Fat dissolving injections contain a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down dietary fat. When injected into fat beneath the chin, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body over the following weeks.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients require 2-4 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The exact number depends on the amount of fat present and your desired outcome. Results are permanent as the destroyed fat cells cannot regenerate.
Is the treatment painful?
You may experience some discomfort during and after the injection, including a burning sensation, swelling, and tenderness. We use techniques to minimise discomfort, and any side effects typically resolve within 1-2 weeks.
Are the results permanent?
Yes! Once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight is important, as remaining fat cells can still enlarge with significant weight gain.
