How many sessions will I need?
Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your Medical Skin Care specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each treatment session is given at least one month apart, and you should not receive more than six treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received six treatments.
