Chin Cela Plus (Fat Dissolution Injection)
A fat dissolution injection that destroys and dissolves fat cells through injection. It achieves partial fat reduction of the face line, double chin, and entire body while minimizing downtime.
Recommended for
- Those concerned about double chin or cheek sagging but hesitant to undergo surgery
- Those who want to achieve a more defined face line and a smaller-looking face
- Those who want to reduce partial fat in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms in a pinpoint manner
- Those seeking slimming effects while minimizing downtime
What is Chin Cela Plus (Fat Dissolution Injection)?
Chin Cela Plus is a fat dissolution injection whose main ingredient is deoxycholic acid (a type of bile acid). Deoxycholic acid acts on cell membranes to physically destroy and dissolve fat cells, and the destroyed fat cells are naturally metabolized and eliminated by macrophages in the body. Since destroyed fat cells do not regenerate, it has the characteristic of being resistant to rebound. It can widely address partial fat in the double chin (submental fat) as well as the cheeks, face line, abdomen, thighs, and upper arms.
Clinical Evidence: Phase III Randomized Comparative Trial
The efficacy and safety of deoxycholic acid injection (ATX-101) have been verified in multiple large-scale Phase III randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials. In a trial published in 2014 in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (doi: 10.1111/jdv.12377) (n=360), when up to 4 sessions of treatment were administered to patients with moderate to severe submental fat, significant improvements were observed in both the clinician assessment scale and patient subjective assessment scores. A trial published in the British Journal of Dermatology (doi: 10.1111/bjd.12695) in the same year also reproduced similar results (n=363). Furthermore, the REFINE-1 trial in 2016 (Dermatologic Surgery, doi: 10.1097/DSS.0000000000000578) confirmed the safety and sustained efficacy of ATX-101 treatment over up to 6 sessions.
Treatment Flow
After confirming the area of concern and desired outcome image through consultation, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area. The medication is injected evenly with a thin needle according to markings, with approximately 15-30 minutes of treatment time per area. Fat cell dissolution and elimination progress over 2-4 weeks after treatment, so multiple sessions (standard 2-4 times) at intervals of several weeks to 1 month may be recommended to maximize results. Normal daily life is possible immediately after treatment.
Downtime and Precautions
Swelling, redness, bruising, and temporary numbness may occur after treatment. The peak of swelling occurs 1-3 days after treatment, and in most cases subsides within 1-2 weeks. For treatment on the face line, temporary skin irregularities may rarely occur, but these will resolve as fat cells are metabolized. Please refrain from strong massage of the injection area, high-temperature sauna, and hot baths on the day of treatment. Cooling and icing are effective for postoperative pain.
Treatable Areas
Responds to a wide range of areas including double chin (submental), cheeks, face line, abdomen, waist, back, thighs, calves, upper arms, under-eye sagging (orbital fat), and more. In particular, partial facial fat reduction requires less downtime compared to surgical liposuction and has minimal impact on daily life, which is why it is widely supported.
Features
Permanently destroys fat cells and resistant to rebound
Deoxycholic acid directly destroys the cell membranes of fat cells. Destroyed fat cells are metabolized and eliminated in the body, and the same cells do not regenerate, so the effects last long by maintaining appropriate lifestyle habits.
Efficacy and safety confirmed in Phase III RCT
ATX-101 (deoxycholic acid) has been demonstrated in multiple large-scale randomized controlled trials (n=360-363) to significantly reduce submental fat and improve patient satisfaction compared to placebo (British Journal of Dermatology, 2014; JEAVD, 2014).
Non-invasive treatment without surgical instruments
Since fat is dissolved through injection alone, incision, suturing, and general anesthesia are unnecessary. Normal daily life is possible from the day after treatment, and downtime can be significantly reduced compared to liposuction.
Applicable to a wide range of areas from face to body
Responds to many areas where fat is a concern, including double chin, cheeks, face line, abdomen, thighs, and upper arms. Same-day treatment is possible for both face and body, and can be utilized as a comprehensive contour-shaping approach.

FAQ
How many sessions are typically needed?
This varies depending on the amount and location of fat and the desired final appearance, but the standard is 2-4 sessions at 1-month intervals. Safety up to a maximum of 6 sessions has been confirmed in Phase III trials (REFINE trial), and effects build up gradually. After confirming your current condition at consultation, we will propose an optimal plan.
Ask ZetithAI about this →How long do the results last?
Since deoxycholic acid physically destroys the fat cells themselves, once dissolved, fat cells do not regenerate. However, if remaining fat cells enlarge, weight gain may occur. By continuing a balanced diet and moderate exercise, the effects can be maintained for a long time.
Ask ZetithAI about this →Is there pain during or after treatment?
Mild stimulation and heat sensation may occur at the time of injection. By using topical anesthetic cream before treatment, pain can be significantly reduced. After treatment, swelling and heat sensation may continue for several days, but are manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers (acetaminophen-based). If symptoms persist, please contact our clinic.
