A double chin often referred to as submental fullness is one of people’s most common and undesirable condition. A double chin makes your face look heavier and older, affecting your self-esteem and confidence. It occurs when there is excess fat volume under the chin and neck area. An ill-defined jawline can also create an appearance of a double chin.
Luckily here at Injector Maya Clinic we are specialists in aesthetic procedures and have a variety of treatments available to help with this common issue, make you feel proud and confident about your facial profile.
Double chin can appear in both men and women. Ageing is a big part of the cause, as we age we start losing elasticity and collagen in the skin making it more likely to sag. Some people are more likely to develop submental fullness which due to their genetics. Also, weight gain can have an effect and fat in this area is particularly difficult to remove despite exercise and dieting.
This treatment involves the injection into fat under the chin AQUALYX fat dissolving solution which is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid. AQUALYX imitates naturally-occurring deoxycholic acid. This causes the permanent destruction of fat cells, and once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.
Aqualyx® fat-dissolving treatment works by liquidating fat cells and destroying them permanently. The broken-down cells are then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system.
Aqualyx® fat dissolving injections are a perfect treatment for those looking to treat areas on the body with stubborn, localised fat. Aqualyx® fat dissolving treatment is meant for body contouring, it is not a weight loss solution. Aqualyx® treatment can be performed only for small, localized areas, and patients should not be obese and immobile.
