Fat-dissolving injections are meant to improve the shape of certain areas where fat is stored in a small pocket. They are not meant to help you lose weight or replace a healthy way of life. You can use this treatment if your weight is stable but one area still looks soft or heavy even though you eat well and work out.
The first step is to be clear before any treatment is thought about. Dr. Ahmad Othman at Derma One Aesthetic Center checks to see if the problem is really a fat pocket. In many cases, what looks like “fat” is really loose skin, muscle structure, or fluid retention. Each of these needs a different, better approach to get a real result.
People most often ask for this treatment for the area under the chin when a double chin changes the way the face looks. It may also be an option for other small, stubborn areas where localized fat is the main problem, depending on the person’s body type and whether or not it is appropriate.
Your appointment at Derma One Aesthetic Center also includes an evaluation of your skin’s quality, since how elastic your skin is affects how polished the final result can look.
Fat-dissolving injections are placed into the targeted fat layer. The active ingredient works gradually, and your body then processes the treated fat over time. This is why swelling is part of the normal response, and why results appear progressively rather than immediately.
Because the treatment relies on your body’s natural clearance process, the timeline is measured in weeks, not days.
Patients typically achieve optimal results when the adipose tissue is minimal and localized, accompanied by adequate skin elasticity in the affected region. If your skin is already loose, just losing fat may not give you the clean definition you want. In this case, a tightening treatment may be suggested as part of the plan.
Dr. Ahmad Othman at Derma One Aesthetic Center will tell you what kind of results are realistic for your body and if combining treatments would make the finish better.
Swelling is expected, especially in the under-chin area, and it can last several days in many patients. Tenderness, firmness, and temporary redness can also occur. These reactions are often part of the treatment response, not a complication.
You will receive clear aftercare guidance from Derma One Aesthetic Center on how to manage comfort and how to recognise the difference between normal recovery and anything that needs a review.
One session may be enough for very small areas, but most patients need a series of sessions to get the level of definition they want. The amount of time between sessions and the total number of sessions depend on how thick the fat layer is, how your skin reacts, and the shape you want it to be in the end.
Based on your assessment, Dr. Ahmad Othman will suggest a realistic plan and timeline during your consultation.
