How it works:
Deoxycholic acid is an injectable solution approved for reducing double chins. It works by destroying fat cells under the chin, resulting in a more sculpted and defined profile. Deoxycholic acid, a synthetic version of a molecule naturally produced by the body to absorb fats, specifically targets fat cells without affecting other tissues. The treatment is non-surgical and requires only minimal downtime, thus providing an effective solution for those looking to refine their jawline without resorting to invasive procedures.
