Fat Dissolving
A more defined profile, without surgery
Fat-dissolving injections for fullness beneath the chin, often called a double chin.
Contour, beneath the chin
The injection uses a molecule your body naturally makes to help break down dietary fat. Placed into the fat under the chin, it disrupts the fat cells, and your body gradually clears them away.
Once treated, those fat cells can no longer store fat, so results are long lasting when your weight stays stable.
- Approved by Health Canada for the area beneath the chin
- No incisions and no general anesthesia
- Gradual, natural-looking change to your profile
Made for the chin
This treatment is for one area: the fat beneath the chin. Your consultation confirms whether fat, loose skin or the shape of your jaw is behind the fullness, so you get the right plan.
Illustration for education. Sessions are at least 1 month apart, and your plan is set at your consultation.
For stubborn fat on the body, see EvolveX body contouring.
What to expect
Consultation
We assess the fullness under your chin, your skin and your health history to confirm this treatment is right for you. All treatments are performed by licensed nurses under medical directive.
Mapping
The area is cleansed, outlined and marked with a small grid. Ice or numbing can be used for comfort.
Treatment
Small injections are placed about 1 cm apart into the fat beneath the chin. The injections take about 15 to 20 minutes.
