ReNu Wellness: Revolutionising Wellness and Longevity in Dundee
The world of aesthetics and wellness is evolving, and I couldn’t be more excited to introduce ReNu Wellness, opening in April 2025
At Renu, we offer a clinically proven solution for double chin and lower facial fullness using injectable deoxycholic acid (commonly known as Kybella). This non-surgical treatment targets and permanently destroys unwanted fat cells beneath the chin and around the jawline — giving you a sharper, more sculpted profile without downtime or surgery.
Whether you’re concerned about a double chin, early jowling, or simply want a more defined jawline, this treatment is tailored to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Treatments are delivered by our Nurse Prescriber, with full medical assessment, facial mapping, and ongoing support throughout your treatment journey.
Unlike treatments that shrink fat cells temporarily, deoxycholic acid breaks down and destroys fat cells completely. Once eliminated, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat — meaning they’re gone for good.
As we age, fat can begin to accumulate under the chin and around the jawline, softening facial definition and contributing to a heavier, sagging appearance. Deoxycholic acid injections work to target and reduce these fat deposits,
Chin and jowl fat removal with deoxycholic acid offers impressive results without the recovery time, scars, or surgical risks of traditional procedures like liposuction or thread lifts.
This treatment uses deoxycholic acid – a well-researched compound that’s clinically proven to safely and effectively reduce fat cells. It is the first and only injectable fat-dissolving treatment approved by both the FDA and the MHRA (UK for use under the chin..
We begin with a detailed consultation to assess your facial structure and understand your aesthetic goals. This helps us determine if this treatment is right for you and allows us to create a personalised treatment plan.
After assessing your chin and jowls we design a customised plan that targets areas needing reduction. We’ll explain the procedure and ensure you’re comfortable with every step.
Multiple small injections of deoxycholic acid are delivered beneath the skin into the fatty tissue.
The area is injected with some local anaesthetic.
After the procedure, you’ll receive aftercare instructions, such as avoiding strenuous activities.Any mild swelling or bruising typically subsides within a week.
Results are visible around week 4 with full effects developing over the next few months. Follow-up appointments after 4- 6 weeks.
Treatments Delivered
Deoxycholic acid is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring bile acid in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. When injected into targeted areas, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.
This treatment is ideal for reducing:
Submental fullness (double chin)
Jowls (lower face fat deposits along the jawline)
In some cases, off-label areas such as bra fat or abdominal fat may also be considered after clinical assessment.
Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
The number of sessions depends on:
Amount of fat
Desired contour
Individual response to treatment
Gradual fat reduction over several weeks
A more defined jawline and slimmer facial profile
Results are long-lasting, as destroyed fat cells do not return
Note: maintaining stable weight is key to preserving results.
Mild to moderate discomfort is expected during injections.
We use:local anaesthetic or cooling
to ensure comfort. You may feel a burning or tingling sensation for a few minutes post-injection.
The most common side effects include:
Swelling (can be significant for 3–7 days)
Bruising
Redness and firmness
Mild tenderness or numbness
Less common but possible side effects include:
Temporary nerve irritation causing smile asymmetry
Small nodules or hardness under the skin (usually temporary)
Yes — expect visible swelling for 3–5 days. Many clients choose to have treatment at the end of the week or take time off work. Bruising and tenderness can last up to 10 days.
This treatment may not be suitable if you:
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have a history of difficulty swallowing
Have loose or sagging skin (not primarily fat)

No. This is a body contouring treatment designed to reduce localised fat deposits, not for general weight loss.
