Your Double Chin Injection Questions Answered

Double Chin Injections at 8 West Clinic in Vancouver, B.C.

Double chin injections are one of the most popular treatments sought by those looking to target submental fullness. So how does it work you ask? Well, our team member Deigh-Anna is happy to share all the details from her treatments and share the amazing results she has reaped.

Why did you decide to try double chin injections?

I decided to try double chin injections because I have started to notice more of a double chin as I have gotten older and I would love to have a more sculpted looking jawline angle, especially in photos.

How long did the treatment take?

The treatment itself only took about 30 minutes to complete, it was pretty quick, something easy to do over my lunch break.

How many treatments have you had?

I have had 2 treatments now in total. My second treatment was about a week ago which was almost 4 months after my first. I am still a little swollen but excited to see the results!

The question everyone is dying to ask, did it hurt?

Because of the high quality topical anesthetic cream we used prior to the treatment, it honestly didn't hurt much at all. Maybe a 1 or 2 on a scale of 10. It felt more like a dull ache more than pain.

Questions about Double Chin Injections with our expert nurse injectors:

What are double chin injections?

Double chin injections are a non-surgical injectable treatment that eliminates fat cells under the chin. The injected solution contains an acid that is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies used to digest fat in our diets. In the hands of an expert injector the solution is injected into the submental area and works to destroy the fat cell membrane allowing the fat to be dissolved out of the body.

Who is the ideal candidate for double chin injections?

Anyone who is bothered by their double chin, or submental fullness. It is best to book a consultation to see how double chin injections can work for you.

How many treatments should you have?

Most patients need 2 to 4 treatments. I suggest booking a complimentary consultation to find out what your treatment plan would be and how many treatments you would require to achieve your desired results.

How long do the results of double chin injections last?

The best part about this treatment is its permanency. Once the fat cells are destroyed they are gone forever, generally there is no re-treatment necessary.

Is there any downtime?

Every patient is different and post treatment downtime can vary. Most patients experience swelling for the first week after their treatment. You can also expect to experience some pain and bruising after the first treatment so we recommend keeping this in mind when scheduling your social plans and work commitments.
