A double chin, or submental fat, can be a real bummer for many of us. It can be due to genetics, aging, and weight fluctuations. However, there are several nonsurgical options to reduce the appearance of a double chin without invasive procedures. Here are some ways and treatments to consider.
1. CoolSculpting Mini
CoolSculpting Mini is a non invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling technology to target and freeze fat cells under the chin. This is perfect for those who want to minimize downtime and prefer a milder approach. Treatment takes about 30-60 minutes and you can go back to your normal activities right away. Results may take a few weeks to be fully visible as the body eliminates the frozen fat cells.
2. Kybella
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that contains deoxycholic acid, a substance found in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When injected under the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells and gives you a more contoured jawline over time. You may need multiple sessions to achieve optimal results and while some swelling may occur after treatment, there is no downtime with this procedure.
3. Ultherapy
Ultherapy is another nonsurgical option that uses ultrasound technology to tighten and lift skin on the neck and chin area. This procedure stimulates collagen production by delivering ultrasound energy to deeper layers of tissue without damaging the surface of the skin. Results from Ultherapy develop over several months as new collagen forms, giving you a natural-looking lift without surgery or needles.
4. Lifestyle Changes
In addition to these treatments, making some lifestyle changes can also help reduce the appearance of a double chin:
Diet: Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains to manage weight.
Exercise: Exercise regularly to lose overall weight and tone up the neck area.
Hydration: Stay hydrated to support skin elasticity and overall health.
5. Combination Treatments
For those who want more comprehensive results, combining different nonsurgical treatments may be the way to go. For example, start with CoolSculpting Mini to reduce localized fat and then follow up with Kybella injections to enhance contouring.
