Below you can see how chin fat dissolving injections reduce fullness under the jawline with a comparison of the area before treatment and the more sculpted, defined appearance after.

Before: Noticeable fullness under the chin creating a softer and less defined jawline.

After: Reduced under chin volume with a more contoured, slimmer and refined jawline.
Target and reduce stubborn fat in areas like the chin, abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks.
Non-invasive with no need for surgery.
Reduces the appearance of a double chin and contours the jawline.
Improves body shape and contour without downtime.
Results are long-lasting, as treated fat cells are permanently destroyed.
Quick, relatively comfortable procedure with minimal recovery time.
We begin with a detailed consultation to assess your goals, target areas, and medical history. Your practitioner will develop a personalised treatment plan based on your needs.
During the procedure, a series of small injections are made into the targeted fat areas. The solution works to break down the fat cells in the area, and you may feel mild discomfort or a slight burning sensation during the treatment.
After the treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects typically subside within a few days. It's important to follow aftercare instructions, including avoiding excessive heat and strenuous exercise for a few days.
You may start to see visible results within 4–6 weeks, with full results visible after 2–3 months. Additional sessions may be required for optimal results, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
"Whether you're seeking to enhance your appearance, treat a medical skin concern, or simply invest in your skin health, patients from across Hampshire trust The De Peyer Clinic to guide them with honesty, expertise, and care."
FEEDBACK FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

This guide covers what fat dissolving injections address, the expected course, downtime, suitability, risks and aftercare for this treatment.
Fat dissolving injections address localised fat pockets by using deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells.
The fat dissolving injections Southampton clients choose is designed to address localised, stubborn fat pockets such as the double chin. Deoxycholic acid injections Hampshire patients choose are used to break down fat cells in the treated area, which the body then naturally clears. This double chin fat dissolving treatment is designed for small, defined areas rather than general weight loss.
Fat dissolving injections typically require a course of sessions, with results developing over weeks.
The treatment is usually carried out over a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Results generally develop gradually as the body clears the treated fat cells, with many patients finding improvements over several weeks. A consultation is required to confirm suitability and set realistic expectations.
Downtime is moderate, with swelling and tenderness settling over several days.
Immediately after treatment the area typically swells and feels tender, which is a normal response. This usually settles over several days. Most clients resume normal activities within a day or two, though the swelling may be visible for a short period.
Fat dissolving injections are suited to those with small, localised fat pockets.
This treatment is well suited to individuals with small, defined fat pockets such as under the chin, who are close to their target weight. It is not a weight-loss treatment. Suitability and expected outcomes are discussed at consultation.
Fat dissolving injections are not suitable during pregnancy, for certain conditions, or near active infection.
The treatment is generally not suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for individuals with certain medical conditions, active infections, or those on particular medications. Suitability is confirmed at consultation following a full medical history review.
Common effects are swelling, bruising and tenderness; rare risks include nerve sensitivity or uneven results.
Swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness are common and expected after treatment. Less commonly, temporary nerve sensitivity, uneven results or skin irregularities can occur. A full medical history and risk discussion takes place at consultation before any treatment begins.
Avoid touching the area, intense exercise and heat for a short period after treatment.
After treatment, touching or massaging the area, intense exercise and heat should be avoided for a short period. Written aftercare instructions are provided, and follow-up support is available throughout the course.
