FAQS
What is Deoxycholic Acid?
Deoxycholic acid is a synthetic form of a naturally occurring bile acid that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into targeted areas such as under the chin, it permanently destroys fat cells. Once eliminated, those fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat again.
How do fat dissolving injections work?
Fat dissolving injections work by breaking down the membrane of fat cells in the treated area. The body then naturally metabolizes and removes those destroyed fat cells over several weeks, resulting in gradual contouring and improved definition.
How much do fat dissolving injections cost in Calgary?
Fat dissolving injections at Bardöt Beauty start at $550 per treatment. The total investment depends on the size of the treatment area and how many sessions are required to achieve optimal contouring. A personalized consultation provides exact pricing.
What areas can be treated with deoxycholic acid?
The most common treatment area is submental fullness (double chin). In some cases, carefully selected patients may also treat areas such as jowls or jawline contour irregularities. A consultation determines suitability.
When will I see results?
Some reduction may be noticeable within 4–6 weeks, with full results developing over 8–12 weeks as the body clears treated fat cells.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients require 1–4 treatments spaced several weeks apart. The number depends on the amount of fullness and your desired contour. Once fat cells are eliminated, results are long-lasting.
Is downtime required after fat dissolving injections?
Swelling is expected and can last several days to up to two weeks. Mild tenderness, firmness, or bruising is possible. We recommend planning treatments at least 2–3 weeks before important events.
Are fat dissolving injections permanent?
Yes. The treated fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, maintaining a stable weight is important, as remaining fat cells can still expand if significant weight gain occurs.
