Double chin fat dissolving injections Quebec

Double chin fat dissolving injections are an injectable medical treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City to address excess fat beneath the chin. Because the product used is a prescription medication, the treatment is administered in clinic by a physician or healthcare professional, typically over a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Book an Appointment

This treatment is most often considered by patients who would like to address an excess of fat beneath the chin, whether it is related to genetics, age or weight changes. It focuses on the area under the chin and is suitable for both men and women. During your consultation, a physician will assess whether it is the most appropriate option for you.

Because every patient’s anatomy, goals and medical history are different, double chin fat dissolving injections at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City always begin with a personalized medical consultation with a physician or healthcare professional. Together, you will assess whether this treatment is the most appropriate option for you and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized Assessment

At Dermapure, we believe in a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results. Our medical professionals will evaluate your facial structure, skin condition, and fat distribution to determine the most effective treatment approach for reducing submental fullness. Factors like skin elasticity, genetics, and age are considered to ensure a safe treatment with natural-looking results.

Step 2

Take Pictures

To track your visible improvement, we take before and after pictures of your chin area. This allows both you and your qualified healthcare provider to assess the progress of your Belkyra treatment over time.

Step 3

Apply a Numbing Gel

Your comfort is our priority. A lidocaine-based numbing gel is applied before the injection process to minimize discomfort. This ensures a more comfortable experience, especially for patients sensitive to injectable treatments.

Step 4

Begin Injections

Our expert medical team, including doctors and trained nurses, uses precise techniques to inject the treatment directly into fatty tissue under the chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, works to break down fat cell membranes over time. Sessions typically last 15 to 30 minutes, and patients may use a mirror to follow the procedure if they wish.

Step 5

Minimal Downtime

Some temporary swelling, bruising, or moderate discomfort is normal after treatment. Patients are advised to follow post-treatment instructions, including using an ice pack to reduce temporary swelling and avoiding strenuous exercise or heavy alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours. Most people can return to their normal activities quickly, making this a low-risk procedure with minimal downtime.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

This treatment typically does not require ongoing maintenance, although follow-up or touch-up sessions may be recommended when appropriate. For optimal results, many patients may require 2 to 4 treatment sessions spaced approximately 4 to 8 weeks apart.

Contraindications

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not receive this treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for double chin fat-dissolving injections?

This treatment may be considered for men and women who wish to reduce submental fullness without cosmetic surgery. It may be appropriate for individuals who notice persistent fat under the chin despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable body weight. This non-surgical approach is generally better suited for those with good skin elasticity, as it is not intended to treat excess or significantly loose skin. This treatment may not be appropriate for individuals with concerns related to significant skin laxity, an active skin condition in the treatment area, or a history of severe reactions to injectable treatments. A consultation with a qualified healthcare professional can help determine whether this treatment is appropriate and discuss available options for addressing a double chin.

How many treatment sessions will I need?

The number of treatment sessions varies based on your fat distribution, skin elasticity, and treatment goals. Most patients require 2 to 4 treatments, but some may need up to 6 sessions for optimal double chin reduction. Each session is spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart to allow your body to naturally eliminate the fat cells. During your consultation, our medical professionals will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
