Double chin is a cosmetic issue that many people struggle with. It is an accumulation of fat cells in the upper neck area, just below the lower jaw. One of the most common reasons for developing a double chin is weight gain. However, there are some other factors that can contribute to its appearance. These include:
The double chin usually does not pose any health risk. Most people, however, want to get rid of it for purely cosmetic reasons. The double chin creates the illusion of a fuller face, disrupts its harmony, and gives a person an aged and tired appearance.
Shens Medical offers innovative solutions to remove a double chin, without surgery. This can be done by using ultrasound energy or HIFU, or by freezing fat through cold temperature, a process known as cryolipolysis.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment option increasingly used for reducing double chin, a common aesthetic concern. uses targeted ultrasound energy to address submental fat, which accumulates beneath the chin, and also aims to tighten the skin.
HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a non-surgical approach aimed at reducing the appearance of a double chin by targeting submental fat and enhancing skin tightness. Here’s an overview of what you might expect:
Potential Results:
When Results May Be Noticed:
Results can vary significantly among individuals. Some may start noticing changes a few weeks after their first treatment, while for others, optimal results might become more apparent two to three months post-treatment, with continued improvements with subsequent sessions.
The duration of the effects from HIFU can differ from person to person, influenced by factors like age, lifestyle, and how one’s body responds to ultrasound energy. Typically, the effects might last anywhere from 6 to 12 months. To maintain the appearance, follow-up treatments every 6 months are often suggested to help preserve the enhanced chin profile.
HIFU is generally suitable for individuals with mild to moderate submental fat and good skin elasticity who are looking for a non-surgical solution to improve the appearance of their chin. However, HIFU might not be ideal for those with excessive skin laxity or individuals seeking dramatic fat reduction, who may find surgical options or a combination of treatments (like the Korean Fox Face Programme) more beneficial. We recommend scheduling a consultation at Shens Medical to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you.
To prepare for your HIFU treatment, you should avoid taking blood-thinning medications, consuming alcohol, and smoking for at least a week before your session. These precautions help minimise any potential bruising or swelling after the double chin removal treatment.
Yes, to reduce the risk of irritation and to prepare your skin for HIFU, you should avoid using harsh skincare products, undergoing chemical peels, or engaging in exfoliating treatments on the chin area for a week prior to your treatment.
HIFU is generally safe, but some medical conditions may require special consideration. It’s important to inform the Shens Medical team about any health issues during your consultation. We will evaluate your medical history to ensure that HIFU is safe and suitable for you.
