What Is Deoxycholic Acid?
Deoxycholic acid is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to **break down and absorb fat cells**. This naturally occurring molecule in the body helps break down dietary fat, making it an effective treatment for reducing **submental fat (double chin)** and other small fat deposits.
Once injected, deoxycholic acid works to destroy fat cells in the treated area, preventing them from storing fat in the future. This results in a **smoother, more sculpted appearance** without the need for liposuction or surgery.
