Contouring your confidence. Best treatments for double chin
Nobody wants a double chin. But Many people, regardless of gender, are self-conscious of their double chin. A double chin is a cosmetic concern for many individuals. It happens when fat builds up behind the chin, giving the impression of a second chin. Even while a double chin isn’t always bad for your health, it can make you feel self-conscious. Fortunately, there are devices to help reduce the appearance of a double chin without resorting to surgery
What is a double chin?
Submental fat, sometimes referred to as a “double chin,” is a frequent disorder in which there is an accumulation of fat beneath the chin. Generally speaking, double chins are associated with weight gain and aging. However, some patients describe having had a double chin all their life, and genetics can play a role.
Causes of double chin
While carrying excess weight is a typical cause of submental fat accumulation in many areas of the body, including the lower jaw, there are other prevalent reasons as well:
Genetics
If someone seems healthy overall but has excess fat beneath their chin, it’s likely that their double chin was caused by family history.
Age
As you get older, your skin’s collagen and elastin get thinner and weaker. These proteins in your skin are responsible for keeping your skin full, firm, and elastic. With time, your body creates less of these proteins, which makes your skin, especially the skin under your jaw, droop.
Posture
Your posture can weaken your neck and chin muscles over time. If the muscles aren’t exercised regularly, the skin in that area eventually becomes less elastic.
Your double chin may be treated, regardless of whether it’s due to genetics, aging, weight, or posture.
When to seek treatment for a double chin
Double chins can be a source of insecurity for many people. If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your double chin, it may be the right time to seek treatment.
- If your double chin has become larger over time, or if aging or weight gain appears to be causing the skin to droop.
- If you believe you appear older than you actually are due to your double chin. If you wish to reshape and define the appearance of the area around your chin without having surgery.
- If you’ve tried exercising and changing your diet, but you still don’t have the chin region you want.
- If you feel that using cosmetics to hide a double chin is no longer sufficient.
Top 3 treatments for double chin
Morpheus 8 for double chin
Morpheus8 is a safe, non-invasive, and effective treatment option for double chin and face slimming.
Morpheus8 is one of the most innovative double chin treatment solutions that guarantee a tight, smooth, and slender neck, so you can take on the world with your most beautiful face and your chin up.
Morpheus8 is suitable for both the face and neck, Morpheus8 is the first and only device currently on the market to combine both Microneedling and Radiofrequency together, to create deep skin tightening and sub-dermal remodeling of the underlying tissue structures, helping to rebuild the skin, facial tissue, and fat pads, for a never before seen nonsurgical facelift result.
This impressive nonsurgical procedure can lift and tighten the face and neck.
Fractional remodeling from Morpheus8 directs energy toward the adipose fat that is notorious for creating saggy skin. The device triggers collagen and elastin to reduce unwanted fat, by targeting the sub-dermal tissue at its lowest layers allowing you to see results in as little as one to three sessions that are tighter, smoother, and more contoured.
Morpheus8 can help you reach your skin health objectives with minimum invasion and downtime, regardless of your goals—tighten sagging skin, restore your face contours, soften fine lines and wrinkles, decrease unsightly fat, or lessen the appearance of scars.
PDO thread lift
Used in combination with a targeted weight loss program, the thread lift procedure can also help reduce the double chin appearance. Find out if you’re a good fit for this treatment and what to anticipate if you’re thinking about getting it done.
The threads used for a thread lift are FDA-approved, completely absorbable surgical threads with tiny tags to aid in latching onto tissues in the superficial skin. The skin and fat in the treated regions are lifted up in tandem with the thread to provide a modest, natural-looking lift.
Under the skin’s outer layer, Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads are inserted during this minimally invasive procedure. These sutures are tiny, yet they are powerful enough to raise drooping skin to the appropriate position. Once the threads are inserted, your body’s natural healing process kicks in, producing more collagen tightening the skin even further, and brightening its tone.
Best of all, PDO threads naturally dissolve in the body and their lifting results stick around for more than a year in most cases.
Dermal Fillers
If your double chin is due to skin that’s simply sagging, rather than fat, dermal fillers are the ideal solution to a sagging turkey neck.
Fillers are injected into aging or sagging skin to “fill out” the spaces left by the loss of collagen. Not only do they fill, but they also tighten. Tightening slack skin beneath the chin can be achieved by injecting dermal fillers into the jawline and chin. Your drooping neck skin will tighten and create more collagen following treatment, giving your jaw and chin area a more defined, youthful appearance.
Although not permanent, dermal filler procedures have a rather lengthy lifespan. When the fillers are absorbed into the body, you should experience fantastic effects for an average of six months to two years.
Take away
When your goal is to permanently eliminate stubborn chin fat and sagging skin, the above non-surgical options offer reasonable solutions that can provide long-lasting results. Choosing the right option for you, however, means starting with a trusted practitioner who can help assess everything from your skin type to your medical history and help you achieve your desired results.
The certified professionals at Hush LA Medspa can help you make the right choice for your face and body. This includes addressing your concerns, expectations, and potential limitations of all options to help you achieve your desired goal.
