Lipolysis
Lipolysis, which is a procedure in which we are injecting enzymes deep into the fat layers to dissolve fat cells then those dissolved fat cells will turn into water components and can easily be excreted through the lymphatic drainage system (either by urination or sweating).
Radiofrequency devices (Morpheus 8)
Radiofrequency devices (Morpheus 8) which will introduce heat to the deep fat layers to break down the fat cells and get rid of the double chin area plus encourage tightness as well.We recommend this neck fat removal treatment to be repeated within 1 month, the number of slimming treatment sessions depends on the thickness of fat layer in the neck area.
