Your initial 45 minute treatment includes a thorough medical history, examination and time to ensure you are fully informed about the treatment before proceeding. Subsequent treatments take 15-20 minutes.

Our clinic offers topical anaesthetic prior to the area. When you book your consultation, you will be asked to arrive 20 minutes early to have topical anaesthetic applied; this will make the treatment feel comfortable. The treatment itself involves a series of small injections into the area under your chin. Ice packs are applied after the treatment to reduce swelling. If you often experience bruising after injections, our clinics also offer a bruise-reduction cream.

Most patients experience visible improvements in the appearance of their chin profile within 2 – 4 treatments. Up to 6 treatments may be administered, spaced at least 4 weeks apart.

Yes, clinical results show an improvement in the tone and firmness of the skin under the chin following treatment. While the treatment’s primary objective is to remove fat, it can also have a pleasing tightening effect on the under-chin area.

As a prescription-only medicine, this injectable treatment is only available at selected clinics. Under the expert clinical guidance of Dr David Sharp, PRAHS Cosmetic and Rejuvenation Clinics was one of the first practices in Australia, selected to provide this treatment to its patients. Double chin injections are offered at both our Greenslopes practice in Brisbane, and our Ipswich central clinic.

Fat dissolving injections are not a substitute for liposuction or neck lift surgery, where required. It is, however, a non surgical solution for stubborn small fat deposits that a healthy diet and active lifestyle will not budge.

The most common side effect is mild to moderate pain or discomfort at the time of injection. While unlikely, contact our clinic if you experience trouble swallowing, an uneven smile, taste disturbances, discolouration, unusual hair loss or ulcers in the treatment area. Like any medical injectable, this treatment carries some risks and that’s why it is important to choose a clinic that offers the medical expertise and support you deserve.
