Deoxycholic Acid
A naturally occurring bile acid that disrupts and destroys fat cell membranes, used as an injectable treatment to reduce submental fat (the double chin) under the jaw. The destroyed fat cells are permanently eliminated by the body's immune system. Injections can cause swelling, numbness, and bruising, and multiple treatment sessions are typically needed.
