What's included

4 deliverables in this treatment

  • Consultation to assess submental fat volume and number of sessions needed
  • Fat-dissolving injection (phosphatidylcholine / deoxycholic acid) into the submental zone
  • Fine-gauge needle technique with topical or mixed anaesthetic for comfort
  • Aftercare instructions covering the 4–7 day post-treatment swelling phase

Injectable lipolysis at S-thetics Beauty targets submental fat — the localized deposit beneath the chin that creates the appearance of a 'double chin' — using a fat-dissolving injection administered by MDDr. Darina Šanšašvili. The active compound in injectable lipolysis formulations is phosphatidylcholine with deoxycholic acid (or deoxycholic acid alone in licensed products), which disrupts the cell membrane of adipocytes, causing them to release their fat content for elimination by the body's lymphatic system. Unlike surgical liposuction or cooling-based fat reduction, the injectable approach requires no anaesthesia, no incisions, and no device machinery — the entire session takes approximately twenty to thirty minutes. Two to three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart are typically required to achieve a visible reduction. The result is a more defined jaw-neck angle and reduced chin fullness.

About this treatment

Submental fullness (the double chin) is one of the most common aesthetic concerns for both men and women across all age groups, driven by genetic predisposition, weight, ageing, and anatomical factors. Despite being a focal and limited area, it is notably resistant to diet and exercise — the submental fat pad has a different lipid composition and metabolic activity compared to most other facial fat compartments, and does not respond proportionally to…

Injectable lipolysis addresses this by using a pharmacological agent that acts directly on the fat cell membrane. When injected into the submental fat layer, phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid (or deoxycholic acid alone) emulsify the lipid droplets within the adipocyte, causing the cell membrane to break down. The fat cell contents — primarily triglycerides — are released into the interstitial space and cleared by the lymphatic circulation over four…

At S-thetics Beauty, MDDr. Šanšašvili administers the injections using a fine-gauge needle across a grid of injection points in the submental zone, spaced to ensure even distribution of the product and consistent fat clearance. Local anaesthetic is typically mixed with the product or applied topically to minimise the transient stinging associated with the injection. The treatment area becomes swollen and firm for approximately four to seven days after…
