Lipolysis Treatment Areas
What Lipolysis Treats
.webp&w=3840&q=75)
Double Chin (Submental Fat)
The most common lipolysis treatment area. Fat cells in the submental region are permanently destroyed over 2–4 sessions, progressively revealing a cleaner neck-to-jaw transition.
Treatments+
Deoxycholic acid is injected into the fat pocket under the chin, destroying those cells, which do not return, over 2 to 4 sessions so the neck-to-jaw line sharpens.
Causes+
Fat that settles under the chin, driven by genetics and age, so it can persist at a stable weight despite diet and exercise.
Lipolysis Results
How results build, from your first session to final contour
Immediate (Day 1)
Day 1 · brief recovery
Each session takes 20 to 30 minutes. The treated area will be swollen and tender for 5 to 10 days afterward, which is a normal part of how the treatment works. Most people return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.
After Session 2 (Weeks 6–8)
Weeks 6-8 · visible change
After the second session, progressive fat reduction starts to show. The treated area looks flatter and, for the chin and jaw, the neck-to-jaw transition begins to sharpen. Most patients notice meaningful change by this point.
Final Results (Sessions 3–4)
Final · sessions 3-4
Final contour develops across sessions 3 and 4, with results assessed 6 to 8 weeks after the last visit. The fat cells that were destroyed do not return, and a stable weight helps preserve what you see.

FAQ
Your Lipolysis Questions,
Answered by Victoria
Everything you need to know about fat dissolving injections before your appointment at Victoria Rose Aesthetics.
Most patients need 2–4 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the size of the fat deposit and how your body responds to treatment.
Yes, the fat cells that are destroyed do not return. However, remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight after treatment preserves your results.
Significant swelling, tenderness, and firmness in the treated area is normal and expected for 5–10 days after each session. This is a sign the treatment is working. Plan around social commitments accordingly.
The injections themselves are managed with topical numbing and are well-tolerated. Post-treatment soreness and swelling are the main discomforts and resolve within 7–10 days of each session.
Lipolysis reduces fat but does not significantly tighten skin. For patients with existing skin laxity in the submental area, we may recommend combining lipolysis with RF microneedling or a thread lift to address both the fat and the skin.
Both destroy fat cells non-surgically. Lipolysis uses injectable deoxycholic acid; CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling. Lipolysis is well suited to smaller, targeted fat deposits, and we use it when an area calls for focused anatomical targeting.
Injectable lipolysis works by introducing deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile salt, into targeted pockets of fat. The acid disrupts the membrane of fat cells, causing them to rupture and release their contents. Over the following weeks, the body's lymphatic system clears the destroyed cells, and those specific cells cannot regenerate. Your VRA injector injects the product in a precise grid pattern across the marked treatment zone so the result is even rather than patchy. Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, with significant swelling for 5 to 10 days after each session. Final contour is assessed roughly 6 to 8 weeks after the last visit at Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering.
Lipolysis is the breakdown of stored fat. In aesthetic medicine, the term most often refers to injectable lipolysis, a non-surgical treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy targeted fat cells. Once destroyed, those specific cells do not return, although the remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain. The treatment is most commonly used for submental fat (double chin), bra fat, jowl fullness, and small localized deposits that resist diet and exercise. At Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, your VRA injector performs the assessment, marks the grid, and places the injections. Most plans require 2 to 4 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, with significant swelling expected for 5 to 10 days after each session.
Yes, injectable lipolysis works for the right candidate. Deoxycholic acid permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area, and those cells do not return. The treatment is most effective for small, localized pockets of pinchable fat that resist diet and exercise, such as submental fullness, bra fat, jowls, and small areas of trunk fullness. It is not a weight-loss tool and will not address large-volume fat or significant skin laxity. A VRA injector assesses candidacy during your consultation at Victoria Rose Aesthetics in Pickering, to the standard Victoria sets. Most patients see meaningful contour change after 2 to 4 sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Final results are reviewed 6 to 8 weeks after the last session.
