Double chins are a common aesthetic concern affecting men and women, cutting across various age groups. Many people assume that surgery is the only solution for this issue. However, a range of non-surgical options is also available, offering potential results without the need for invasive procedures. In this article, we will explore several non-surgical methods to help minimise the appearance of a double chin, catering to those who prefer less invasive alternatives.
A double chin may appear due to excess submental fat, which accumulates under the chin, or a loss of skin elasticity, which can lead to sagging. While genetic factors often play a significant role, lifestyle elements like diet and body weight can also contribute to the development and prominence of a double chin. Additionally, ageing can impact skin elasticity and fat distribution, exacerbating the appearance of a double chin.
It is important to note that while lifestyle changes such as improved diet and better posture can influence overall health, they might not fully resolve the aesthetic concerns of a double chin. However, they may be helpful as part of a comprehensive approach to managing submental fullness.
From lifestyle changes to cosmetic treatments, this section delves into how each option for double chin removal can contribute to reducing submental fullness without the need for surgery. Each method offers unique advantages and may suit different needs and preferences, providing a tailored approach to enhancing one's facial profile.
Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise can play a role in overall weight management, which may help reduce the fat around the neck and under the chin. While general body fat reduction can indirectly impact the appearance of a double chin, targeted exercises aimed at strengthening the neck muscles could also be helpful. However, it is advisable to understand that these exercises are more supportive rather than definitive solutions for double chin reduction.
CoolShaping 2 utilises fat-freezing technology to target and reduce fat under the chin. This non-invasive procedure chills fat cells to the point of destruction, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them over time. Recommended for individuals with good skin elasticity, CoolShaping 2 can gradually improve the chin contour, with results becoming more noticeable weeks to months after treatment. Multiple sessions may be required depending on the individual's goals.
However, CoolShaping 2 does not address skin laxity as it focuses solely on fat reduction.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive approach that helps to address excess fat and loose skin around the chin and neck. By directing focused ultrasound energy to the targeted areas, HIFU disrupts fat cells and also stimulates collagen production, which progressively tighten and lift the skin, and eliminates unwanted fat.
This dual action makes HIFU a recommended option for those seeking the appearance of a slimmer, defined jawline and reduced double chin without the pain and downtime associated with surgical procedures.
The HIFU double chin treatment may result in a natural-looking lift, enhancing facial contours with minimal discomfort and no need for needles. Results may develop gradually over several months as the body naturally regenerates collagen and eliminates the disrupted fat cells.
At Shens Medical Aesthetics, HIFU treatments are recommended based on the needs of each individual, utilising specific machine technology to offer optimal results. Our in-house MOH-accredited doctor may leverage their experience to administer HIFU, focusing on achieving natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
During the consultation process, a medical aesthetic practitioner will assess your conditions — considering factors like skin elasticity and fat distribution — to determine if HIFU is the most suitable approach. This approach helps maximise the effects of HIFU, ensuring each individual receives optimal care for their double chin concerns.
