Why It's So Hard to Lose Fat Around the Chin
Unresponsive Fat to Exercise and Diet
Fat that doesn’t go away with weight loss attempts is frequently stored in the submental (under-chin) region. Even in thin people, this pocket is very persistent because to aging, hormones, and genetics. This is why contouring and minimizing the appearance of a double chin require specific treatments like Aqualyx.
Chin Area Genetic Fat Storage
Some people are prone to retaining fat under their chins due to genetics. They may carry fullness in this area even when they are at a healthy weight. Aqualyx provides a targeted and efficient method of jawline contouring by precisely addressing these genetically determined fat deposits.
Skin Laxity and Fat Buildup Are Caused by Aging
Fat starts to redistribute and skin becomes less elastic as we age. Particularly susceptible is the area beneath the chin, which can result in fullness or drooping. With minimal downtime, Aqualyx injections improve face harmony by non-surgically dissolving fat and letting the skin naturally re-contour over time.
Fat Cannot Be Spotted by Exercise
Although they may tone muscles, targeted activities like “chin lifts” won’t burn fat in the area. A more defined chin and neck can be attained without depending on unattainable fitness objectives thanks to Aqualyx, one of the few treatments that directly dissolves fat in difficult-to-reach face areas.
Unbalanced Beauty Because of a Full Chin
A double chin can throw off overall symmetry and proportion, even if the rest of the face is slender. Through cheekbone prominence enhancement, side profile refinement, and lower face slimming without surgery, Aqualyx aids in restoring proportion.
Not Everyone May Choose Surgery
Although invasive, liposuction works well. It has expense, danger, and downtime. For patients who need subtle refinement through gradual fat reduction with little discomfort and recovery time, Aqualyx provides a walk-in, walk-out alternative.
Doctor-Led, Non-Invasive Precision
Under Dr. Veenu’s skilled supervision, Aqualyx injections provide accurate, regulated fat loss. She customizes each treatment plan according to the patient’s goals, fat distribution, and facial structure, guaranteeing sculpted, natural results while putting safety first.
Additional Information on Aqualyx Injections
Aqualyx Injections: What Are They?
A non-surgical, clinically validated fat-dissolving injection called Aqualyx is intended to remove localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. These injections are particularly well-liked for facial sculpting, especially in the jawline and double chin areas where fat buildup can compromise facial equilibrium and conceal definition. Deoxycholic acid, a substance that the body naturally produces, is used in Aqualyx to aid in the breakdown of dietary fat. Aqualyx causes the fat cell membranes to rupture and release their contents when it is injected directly into undesirable fat pockets.
Over the ensuing weeks, the body’s lymphatic system progressively breaks down and gets rid of the liquefied fat. By lowering the possibility of overcorrection and promoting a smoother skin retraction after treatment, this natural elimination process guarantees gradual and subtle outcomes.
Dr. Veenu provides Aqualyx injections at Rasa Derm as a customized, safe, and efficient substitute for invasive fat-loss techniques like liposuction. Each treatment is customized to provide elegant, natural results with the least amount of recovery time possible because to her accuracy and knowledge of facial anatomy.
How Is Aqualyx works?
The soft tissue immediately beneath the skin, known as the subcutaneous fat layer, is where Aqualyx is injected. Deoxycholic acid, the active component, dissolves the outer membranes of fat cells to target and disrupt them. After being degraded, the body’s natural detoxification pathways—particularly the lymphatic system—release and carry the fat before it is finally discharged by the liver.
This procedure helps to refine and restructure the treated area in addition to reducing fat. A smooth and natural contour is maintained after treatment because the progressive reduction gives the skin time to contract and adapt.
After three to four weeks, patients usually start to notice noticeable results, and each session lasts roughly twenty to forty minutes. For best effects, two to four sessions spaced roughly four to six weeks apart are usually advised, depending on the amount of fat and the desired results.
For whom is Aqualyx appropriate?
For patients who are near their desired body weight but are having trouble with small, stubborn pockets of fat, especially in places like the neck, jowls, jawline, or chin, Aqualyx is the best option. It is neither a weight-loss method, nor is it appropriate for reducing big amounts of fat. Rather, Aqualyx is a master at refining and sculpting the face, providing a delicate and non-invasive contouring treatment for:
- The submental fullness of the double chin
- Definition of a jawline
- Lower cheekbones and jowls
- The buffalo hump in the upper back
- Tiny fat deposits around the bra area, thighs, or knees (depending on the situation)
Dr. Veenu does a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your medical history, body fat distribution, and aesthetic objectives prior to starting treatment. Skin elasticity, fat content, and general health are some of the variables that affect suitability.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
Patients should adhere to these recommendations prior to their consultation in order to guarantee a seamless process and minimize negative effects:
- Steer clear of NSAIDs, alcohol, and aspirin. 48 hours beforehand to lower the chance of bruises
- One week prior to or following the injection, no dental procedures
- Tell your doctor about your allergies and existing drugs.
- Before your appointment, stay away from large foods and coffee.
- Show up with a fresh, makeup-free face and make sure you’re getting enough sleep and water.
What to anticipate when receiving treatment
Dr. Veenu administers Aqualyx injections precisely in a sterile, medical setting:
- Cleaning and mapping are done in the treatment area.
- For comfort, numbing lotion or a local anesthetic is used.
- Depending on the location, a tiny needle or cannula is used to inject Aqualyx.
- The product’s distribution across the fat pocket is uniform.
- During the injection, a slight pressure or burning sensation could be experienced momentarily.
- Usually, the session lasts 20 to 40 minutes, and you are free to depart right after.
Care Following Treatment
- For two to five days, anticipate redness, soreness, bruising, or swelling.
- If necessary, apply cold compresses during the first 24 hours.
- For a full day, refrain from touching, rubbing, or putting cosmetics to the treated area.
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, drinking, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
- Drink plenty of water to help the lymphatic system drain out fat.
Timeline of Results
- After the first session, initial results are frequently seen three to four weeks later. Full effects may not appear for six to eight weeks, and two to four treatments are typically needed for the best contouring.
- Because the fat cells are damaged, the treated area experiences permanent fat loss.
- Months pass with continued progress as the skin tightens and the edema goes down.
- In order to optimize definition, Dr. Veenu may modify the treatment plan based on progress tracking between sessions.
Durability & Upkeep
The fat cells do not grow again when they are destroyed. On the other hand, substantial weight gain can result in the formation of new fat cells. To sustain results that last:
- Maintain a steady, healthful lifestyle
- Keep your weight at your optimum level.
- Maintain your usual skincare routine and hydration regimen.
- If necessary, think about getting touch-ups every year to re-contour or combine with skin-tightening treatments.
Every patient at Rasa Derm is given a customized post-treatment plan to guarantee that the results are symmetrical, long-lasting, and natural.
