Fat Reduction Injections
Target stubborn pockets of fat, under the chin or upper arms, with deoxycholic acid injections that gradually dissolve fat cells.
What Are FatReduction Injections?
Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule your body already uses to break down and absorb dietary fat. Injected precisely into a stubborn pocket, it does the same work locally: dissolving fat cells, which your body then clears away for good.
That's what makes it different from dieting a spot away, which shrinks fat cells but leaves them in place. Here the cells themselves are reduced, so the contour change is lasting and the profile stays slimmer.
Results build over a series of treatments, gradually and naturally; nothing about the change looks abrupt. Marie places each injection precisely, mapping the pocket so reduction follows your natural contour.
Before choosing treatment for under-chin fullness, explore the difference between chin fat and loose skin.
Who Are Fat Reduction Injections For?
Fat reduction is for the pockets that diet and exercise won’t touch.
The honest answer comes from a consultation. Marie assesses the area and confirms whether injections are the right approach for your goals.
You have fullness under your chin
A double chin is the classic stubborn pocket, and the primary treatment area.
Your upper arms hold their shape stubbornly
Localized upper-arm fat reduces gradually across a treatment series.
Diet and exercise haven't moved it
These pockets are about cell distribution, not discipline. Dissolving the cells is what changes the contour.
You want change nobody can point to
Results build gradually over a series, so the slimmer profile reads as natural.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the fat reduction permanent?
The treated fat cells are dissolved and cleared by your body, so they don't return. Maintaining a stable weight keeps the result looking its best; Marie will cover what to expect at your consultation.
How many treatments will I need?
Results build over a series, and the number depends on the size of the pocket and your goals. Marie will recommend a personalized plan after assessing the area.
Does it hurt?
The injections are quick and precisely placed. Comfort is a priority, and Marie will walk you through comfort options during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
How is this different from body contouring devices?
Deoxycholic acid works chemically rather than with energy: a naturally occurring molecule dissolves the fat cells, and your body clears them. It's especially suited to small, precise pockets like under the chin.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes. Under-chin fat reduction pairs naturally with XERF skin tightening for the jawline and neck, and Marie can sequence both within a personalized protocol.
