FAQS
What is Deoxycholic Acid?
Deoxycholic Acid is used to permanently diminish small pockets of fat on the body such as a double chin, bra bulges, inner thigh fat, and belly fat. In the US it is sold under the trade name Kybella.
How does Deoxycholic Acid work?
The active ingredient in Deoxycholic Acid is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected Deoxycholic Acid destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected.
How much does a fat dissolving injection cost in Calgary?
You will need at least 2-4 treatments of Deoxycholic Acid, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Pricing is based on the size of the area being treated. Treatments start at $1000.
When will I see results?
Noticeable results are visible in 60-90 days.
How long do results last?
Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat and results are permanent.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your fat and your personal treatment goals.
Will I need time to recover?
Bruising and swelling is common. Give yourself a minimum of 2 weeks before any events/vacations.
