Lipodissolve: Achieve a Well-defined Jaw Line with Fat Dissolving Injections
Do you have stubborn fat under the chin that won’t bulge with diet and exercise? Access Medspa Rejuvenate understands the impact a “double chin” can have on your appearance and confidence. Dr. Asongtia Ntonghawah, DNP, and team are excited to offer Lipodissolve, a non-surgical double chin treatment in Lanham, Maryland. Contour your chin and reclaim your confidence without liposuction or other invasive techniques.
What is Lipodissolve?
Lipodissolve is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that reduces small pockets of unwanted fat in specific areas. It’s often used on the chin, thighs, abdomen, or love handles, where stubborn fat can persist despite diet and exercise.
The treatment includes injections that contain a powerful, fat-dissolving ingredient: deoxycholic acid. This naturally occurring substance emulsifies and breaks down the fat cells before your body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells through the lymphatic system. Lipodissolve is a fantastic option for individuals who need localized weight loss.
What does the treatment involve?
Treatment starts with a consultation. Your practitioner will examine your medical history, skin condition, and other relevant factors to determine your suitability for Lipodissolve. While this fat-dissolving injection is suitable for many, it’s not recommended for patients with bleeding disorders or allergies to soybeans. It’s also not ideal for pregnant mothers or patients with insulin-dependent diabetes.
If you are a suitable candidate, the area of the undesirable fat pockets is marked and injected with Lipodissolve. The injections may cause a mild stinging or burning sensation as the solution is administered. Many patients find the discomfort is tolerable, although we can use numbing cream for enhanced comfort.
Depending on the treatment area, a session usually takes 20–40 minutes. There’s minimal downtime. You may notice temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area for a few days. However, most people can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
When can I expect the results?
Results aren’t instant because your body needs time to metabolize and eliminate the fat cells. It typically takes 4-6 weeks to see results after the first injection. Each injection provides approximately 20% of the final reduction. Patients need 2-4 sessions to achieve the desired outcomes.
Lipodissolve destroys targeted fat cells. Once these cells are eliminated, they cannot return. This means the fat reduction in treated areas is permanent. However, remaining fat cells in the area can still enlarge if you gain weight. That means you must maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to preserve your results. However, if the fat cells return, you can have the option of a do-over with Lipodissolve.
Is Lipodissolve worth it?
Lipodissolve isn’t a weight loss treatment. It only works for localized fat deposits, such as under the chin. Lipodissolve offers several benefits, including:
- Slims targeted areas without the need for surgery
- Minimal downtime and less risk compared to surgical options
- Effective for stubborn fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise
- Gradual, natural-looking results
- Results can be permanent with good maintenance
- We can tailor treatment to your specific body areas and goals
