How does it work?
- Under chin area injections are administered using a grid to target specific areas of fat beneath the chin.
- The injected substance is a synthetic solution which already naturally occurs in our bodies to break down fat.
- The number of under chin injections used below the jawline/under the chin, and treatment results in that area, can vary from patient to patient.
- The general improvements attainable include a more refined chin line, jawline or neck line due to less fat in that area of the lower face.
- After an initial consultation to discuss the non-surgical treatment and to see if you are a suitable candidate, it may be performed on the same day or at a later stage.
