Common Questions
Can I combine this treatment with others?
Absolutely! Deoxycholic Acid injections can be combined with other treatments like Dermal Fillers, Skin Tightening, or Microneedling to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Combining treatments can help improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall facial harmony for enhanced results. At Deviva Skin Lab, we will customize a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and aesthetic goals, ensuring a natural and balanced outcome.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the fat cells targeted and destroyed by Deoxycholic Acid are permanently eliminated, meaning they cannot store or accumulate fat again. However, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, as weight gain can lead to the expansion of remaining fat cells in the area. By following a balanced diet and regular exercise routine, you can enjoy long-lasting, sculpted results. Our Cosmetic Injectors will guide you on post-treatment care to help you sustain your new look.
What side effects should I expect?
Common side effects following Deoxycholic Acid treatment include mild swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. These effects typically subside within a few weeks and can be managed with simple aftercare measures such as ice packs and avoiding strenuous activity. In some cases, clients may experience temporary numbness, firmness, or mild discomfort in the treated area. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to help you achieve the best possible recovery and results.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, Deoxycholic Acid is Health Canada-approved, ensuring it meets rigorous safety standards. When administered by trained professionals, it is a safe and effective solution for reducing submental fat and improving the appearance of a double chin. At Deviva Skin Lab, our licensed practitioners follow strict protocols to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the procedure. Potential side effects are generally mild and temporary, making this a well-tolerated treatment option.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients typically require 2 to 4 treatment sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve their desired results. The number of sessions needed depends on factors such as the amount of submental fat, individual response to treatment, and personal aesthetic goals. During your consultation, our Cosmetic Injectors will assess your specific needs and recommend a tailored treatment plan. While visible improvement is often seen after the first session, optimal results become more noticeable with multiple treatments.
What is Deoxycholic Acid, and how does it work?
Deoxycholic Acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When injected under the chin, it works by targeting and destroying fat cells in the treated area. These damaged fat cells are then gradually processed and eliminated by the body’s natural metabolic processes. Once the fat cells are gone, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to a more sculpted and defined jawline.
