Contact UsWhat Are Submental Fat Injections?
Even a small amount of extra fat in the upper throat area may cause the appearance of a "double chin" that may be unwanted to both women and men. The excess pockets of fat beneath the chin (also known as the submental area) can be caused by aging, genetics, or weight fluctuations that lead to a softer chin and jawline for an undefined profile. Dr. Leonel Perez and team are proud to offer a revolutionary way to reduce neck fat at Beyond Esthetics. Deoxycholic acid injections are a new nonsurgical option for submental fat. The active ingredient in deoxycholic acid injections is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, which acts like the natural DA in the body to break down and absorb fat. After it has been injected beneath the chin, you can see a visible reduction in fat. When the fat is eliminated, the cells do not regenerate, so Annandale, VA patients can enjoy their new, slim neck and clear jawline for years to come.
How Do Deoxycholic Acid Injections Work?
Deoxycholic acid injections are performed during an appointment in one of our treatment rooms. Our team will generally apply a numbing gel to the treatment area if preferred, once the skin is clean. The submental fat-reducing injections last around 15 – 20 minutes and are comprised of a few small injections targeting the submental area. Patients may require a single treatment to reach their desired look, while some may need a few injections spaced 3 – 4 weeks between each appointment at Beyond Esthetics.
Beyond Esthetics Reviews
This is one of the most professional medical offices I have been in. I came for my consultation and last minute had to bring my baby and they were so understanding, kind, and genuine! Looking forward to my procedure soon! Very happy to have found them and that they are so close to home!
Wonderful office and amazing staff very knowledgeable with all the different types of treatments and upgraded technology with all their lasers. I had a great experience with my cosmetic treatment and highly recommend Dr. Leo. Can’t wait to get my next treatment, I love this place!!
I've been getting ‘tox injections at Beyond Esthetics for several months now, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The staff is friendly and professional, and the injections are painless. Highly recommend!
I had a real “treat yourself” moment – I didn’t want a facelift, so we’re doing a combination therapy! Laser skin resurfacing, collagen contouring, a little IPL, and a combo of tox and filler. I started back in January and the results are giving me a decade back at least. The staff at Beyond Esthetics were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful during my initial consultation. They took the time to understand my concerns and recommended the perfect treatment for me. I'm so happy with the results!
I've struggled with hair loss for years, but the hair restoration treatment at Beyond Esthetics has been a game changer. My hair looks fuller and healthier than ever, and the staff was incredibly supportive throughout the process. Kam has become both my esthetician and therapist for life!

About UsSubmental Fat Injections FAQs
Are deoxycholic acid injections safe?
Deoxycholic acid injections are considered safe for the reduction of submental fat. However, the procedure should be performed by a professional like Dr. Perez, who has experience with this particular treatment. As with any medication or injection, there are potential side effects and risks that may arise, which will be discussed during your consultation.
What causes submental fat?
Submental fat can be caused by a combination of factors, such as age, genetics, and weight fluctuations. Some people develop this type of fat due to lifestyle choices like poor diet and lack of exercise. Unfortunately, submental fat can be difficult to get rid of with traditional methods, making deoxycholic acid injections a popular treatment option in Annandale, VA.
Will the submental fat return after treatment?
No, the fat cells that are eliminated by deoxycholic acid injections do not regenerate. This means that once the desired results are achieved at Beyond Esthetics, patients can enjoy their new slim neck and defined jawline for years to come. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise can help prevent new fat from developing in this area.
