Deoxycholic Acid Injection

Submental fat under the chin, commonly referred to as ‘double chin’, is a concern that can affect men or women of all ethnicities as we age, but is easily treated with injectable deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring bile acid that breaks down and eliminates fat cells.

After using a topical numbing for optimal comfort, Edmonton Dermatologist, Dr. Anil Kurian expertly injects deoxycholic acid into the submental fat, to reduce the ‘double chin’ and improve the overall contour of the chin. Patients will see optimal results with a series of 3-6 treatments spaced every 4-6 weeks.
