Deoxycholic Acid

Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule found in the human body that plays a vital role in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats. In the field of medical aesthetics, it is also used as an injectable treatment to target and reduce submental fat, commonly known as a "double chin." Deoxycholic acid works by disrupting the fat cell membranes in the targeted area, causing them to break down and be eliminated by the body's natural metabolic processes. This non-surgical treatment can lead to a more contoured and defined jawline, providing patients with a slimmer and more youthful appearance without the need for invasive procedures.
