Fat reduction

If you see a double chin in the mirror it may be a sign of weight gain or obesity, but that is not always the case.
There are a few different factors to a double chin. Understanding these factors may help you to get rid of them.
The skin can start to lose its elasticity as the body ages, which can lead to the appearance of extra or saggy skin that may contribute to a double chin.
Diet and weight
While weight gain is not always the main cause of a double chin, it can contribute to it. High-calorie and processed foods, along with unhealthy fats may have an impact on gaining a double chin as a consequence of weight gain.
Genetics
Genes may play a key role in developing a double chin. Anyone with a family history of skin with low elasticity or double chins is more prone to its development.
Posture
Poor posture can weaken the muscles of the neck and chin. This may contribute to a double chin over time, as the surrounding skin loses its elasticity when the muscles are not used.
How to treat a double chin?
The introduction of fat dissolving injections has excited a lot of people. Now we can finally get rid of pesky fat that just doesn’t want to budge, no matter how hard we exercise, or how healthy our diet is.
Fat dissolving injections can help you to achieve a slimmer, more contoured body shape, with long-lasting effects for 2-4 years. The result will be more prolonged if you maintain a healthy eating lifestyle and exercise regularly!
Just like any other new treatment, it’s important to understand exactly what the deal is before rushing in. Here’s everything you need to know about fat dissolving injections:
Fact 1 – They are safe​
Our two fat dissolving injectable treatments contain natural substances. Our chin sculpting injections contain a synthesized deoxycholic acid. It occurs naturally in the body and aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Meanwhile, our general fat dissolving injections contain a substance called phosphatidylcholine (PC). Again, this is a natural compound derived from the soybean. Both are safe to use and are broken down naturally by the body over time.
Fact 2 – Side effects are rare​
Side effects of fat dissolving injections are rare. You may experience swelling, bruising, itching, pain, pressure pain sensitivity and excessive heat at the injection site. However, these symptoms usually go away within 3-5 days.
You can minimize risk by consulting a highly qualified doctor or nurse. At Dr.J Clinic, all our injectable cosmetic treatments are administered by our team of highly skilled doctors and nurses. They are excellent experts who have many years of experience in this field.
Fact 3 – Pain is minimal​
As is the case with all treatments involving needles, the injections may sting a bit, but overall, pain is minimal during our chin sculpting and fat dissolving treatments. Also, we always offer the option of applying a topical numbing agent to the treatment area to minimize discomfort.
Fact 4 – Downtime is needed​
Most importantly, our fat dissolving and chin sculpting injections require a bit of time for recovery. It is recommended to rest for 3-5 days post treatment.
