A double chin, known in medical terms as submental fullness, is a common concern for many people. It can affect your confidence and make you feel self-conscious about your appearance.
Fortunately, there are several effective treatments available to help reduce or eliminate a double chin, giving you a more defined and contoured jawline.
Understanding the Causes of a Double Chin
Before exploring treatment options, it’s helpful to understand what contributes to a double chin:
- Genetics: If your family members have double chins, you might be more prone to developing one.
- Weight Gain: Extra weight can lead to fat accumulation under the chin.
- Aging: As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and muscles may weaken, causing sagging in the chin area.
Effective Treatments for Reducing a Double Chin
At EverYoung Laser & Skin Care Centre, we offer several non-surgical treatments to address double chins:
Belkyra® (also known as Kybella®)
Belkyra® is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, to break down fat cells. Once these fat cells are destroyed, your body naturally processes and removes them, leading to a more contoured jawline. The number of treatments needed varies, but many people see results after two to four sessions.
CoolSculpting®
CoolSculpting® is a non-invasive procedure that targets and freezes fat cells beneath the skin. Over time, these frozen fat cells die and are naturally eliminated by the body. This treatment is effective for reducing fat under the chin without surgery or downtime. Most patients require one to two sessions to achieve their desired results.
Ultherapy®
Ultherapy® uses focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This process tightens and lifts the skin under the chin and on the neck, reducing the appearance of a double chin. Results develop gradually over two to three months as new collagen forms, with improvements continuing up to six months.
Choosing the Right Treatment
Selecting the best treatment depends on various factors, including the amount of fat under your chin, skin elasticity, and your personal preferences. It’s essential to consult with a qualified professional who can assess your situation and recommend the most suitable option.
Maintaining Your Results
After undergoing treatment, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help preserve your results:
- Healthy Diet: Eating a balanced diet can prevent weight gain that might affect your chin area.
- Regular Exercise: Staying active helps keep off extra weight and supports overall health.
- Skincare Routine: Using quality skin care products can improve skin elasticity and firmness.
