Dissolve Fat to Help Restore Your Youthful Profile
Submental fullness, also known as a “double chin,” is a common concern for both men and women. Factors like genetics, weight gain, and natural aging contribute to the accumulation of fat under the chin. Despite efforts to reduce this excess tissue through diet and exercise, many individuals struggle to achieve the desired results.
Deoxycholic acid, a nonsurgical injection, can help contour and improve the appearance of stubborn submental fat while also preventing further fat buildup.
Schedule your consultation at Remington Laser today to address submental fullness and achieve a more defined chin profile.
Request a ConsultationWhat Is Deoxycholic Acid?
Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in your body. Its primary role is breaking down and absorbing dietary fat. When we administer the acid through injection, it targets and disrupts fat cell membranes, preventing fat from being stored or building up. This means retreatment is typically unnecessary once we’ve achieved your desired results.
Request a ConsultationWhat Can You Expect During Your Treatment?
The first step of your treatment process is a consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, examine your neck, and determine if you’re a good candidate for this treatment.
Before administering the acid, the skin is marked to guide injections. Your physician will strategically mark the skin to prepare the injection sites. Typically, 20-30 injection sites are necessary to provide comprehensive coverage of the entire area. Finally, small amounts of deoxycholic acid are injected into the subcutaneous fat beneath the chin.
Recovery After Your Jawline Sculpting Treatment
After your procedure, you might experience some swelling, bruising, or discomfort. The most noticeable swelling usually goes away within 5–14 days, but smaller areas of swelling can take as long as 4–6 weeks to resolve.
If you plan on being socially active within the first 48–72 hours, you may consider wearing a scarf or turtleneck to cover the treated area. Any bruising generally fades within 5–7 days.
How Many Treatments Do You Need?
The broken-down fatty tissue is naturally and gradually eliminated from your body over the few weeks following treatment. Some patients see noticeable improvements in their chin profile in just 2–4 treatments. However, we may recommend 3–6 sessions to help achieve your desired results.
The number of treatments needed can vary depending on the amount of fat in the area. We typically schedule sessions every 4–6 weeks.

What Our Patients Say
My experience with Remington Laser has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I was referred by my family doctor, I knew I was in good hands. My initial apprehension about my daughter’s ear damage was quickly dispelled when we met Dr. Remington and his team. Dr. Remington’s transparency and honest approach stood out to me as a leader and innovator. Thanks to his laser techniques, my daughter’s ear damage was repaired painlessly, and she can now wear earrings without any issue. No one would ever know that at one stage she had a tear and I worried she would never be able to wear earrings again.

I first met Dr. Kent Remington after several other doctors were unable to resolve my medical issue. When I arrived at Remington Laser, Dr. R and Pam took their time to understand the problem and my health history. Dr. R never gave up and, with constant kindness and expertise, he resolved the issue that others could not. That was 7 years ago. Since that time, I have had cosmetic procedures with Dr. R and Pam. They provide excellent advice and solutions and only use the best quality “tools and equipment” in their practice. Combined with their unparalleled skills and ability to find the right solution for me, they keep me feeling my very best. There is always a warm welcome from the entire team from the moment I arrive at the front desk. My heartfelt thanks to all at Remington Laser from your grateful and happy patient.
