People have multiple insecurities about their faces, skin, or bodies. One common example is a double chin, which can make people feel less confident, especially in photos or when looking in the mirror.
But here’s the catch: there are ways to reduce a double chin without surgery. Let’s talk more about this in the blog!
Why Do I Have a Double Chin?
A double chin is caused by extra weight carried beneath the chin and around the neck. It can change the way your face and jaw look. While it is not something to worry about, certain health-related issues, such as obesity, could be causing it.
However, other factors can also contribute to a double chin, such as:
- If having a double chin runs in your family, you might also have it
- As you age, your skin ages and loosens, forming a double chin
- Carrying extra weight can lead to fat buildup under the chin
- Holding your head down while using a phone or laptop can lead to an evident double chin formation
- Certain medical conditions, like thyroid and kidney disorders, can cause this issue
Getting Rid of a Double Chin Without Surgery
Multiple non-surgical cosmetic treatments aim at reducing the appearance of a double chin, such as:
- Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a modern, minimally invasive treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. It helps reduce fat and tighten the skin under the chin.During this treatment, tiny microneedles penetrate about 4mm deep into the skin, delivering targeted energy that heats and liquefies fat cells and stimulates collagen and elastin production.The treatment can have a lifting effect, making the jawline and neck look more defined. It’s a great option for people who want to reduce fat and improve loose skin without surgery.
The best part is—there is little discomfort or downtime with this double chin treatment! You can ask your aesthetician to tailor a plan with the total number of sessions needed to see visible results.
- BodyFX
BodyFX is a non-invasive treatment that uses energy and gentle suction to target fat and tighten the skin under the chin.The heat from the device breaks down fat cells while boosting collagen production, helping shrink fat and improve skin firmness. It’s a painless treatment with no needles, and each session lasts around 20–30 minutes.You may see results quickly, with more improvement over time. It is also a good choice for anyone who wants a simple, comfortable way to slim and tighten the chin area, and it works well for all skin types.
