About Deoxycholic Acid
Deoxycholic Acid is a naturally occurring bile acid that plays a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of dietary fat. In the realm of medical aesthetics, Deoxycholic Acid is used as an injectable treatment designed to dissolve stubborn fat deposits in targeted areas of the face and body. This treatment is particularly effective for contouring areas such as double chins and jowls, helping to create a more defined and youthful appearance.
How It Works
Deoxycholic Acid works by breaking down fat cells in the targeted area. When injected, it disrupts the cell membrane of the fat cells, causing them to burst and release their fatty contents. These contents are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body. The result is a noticeable reduction in fat deposits and a more contoured appearance. The treatment is non-surgical, minimally invasive, and can be tailored to suit individual aesthetic goals and needs.

The treatment also helps to contour and define the face and body, enhancing overall appearance.

Avoid Blood Thinners:
For at least one week before the treatment, avoid using blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain herbal supplements) to minimize the risk of bruising at the injection sites. Regular multi-vitamin and Tylenol are permitted (If not contraindicated). If you have questions regarding your medications, please reach out to us.
No Alcohol:
Avoid alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours before the treatment, as it can lead to temporary blood vessel dilation and may increase the risk of bruising.

Hair Removal:
Avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or the use of hair removal creams in the area(s) to be treated.

Swelling, redness, and bruising are common after the treatment. These reactions are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
Use Cold Compress:
Applying a cold compress to the treated area for short intervals (10-15 minutes at a time) during the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

Limit sun exposure to the treated areas for at least one week post-treatment and use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect the skin during the healing process.
Be Patient:
It may take several weeks to see the full results of the Deoxycholic Acid treatment as the fat gradually dissolves and is eliminated by the body.
