A well-defined, long neck with a distinct jawline gives the image of youth and vitality. Unfortunately, as we get old, the chin and jaw’s surrounding skin loses collagen and begins sagging, giving the illusion of a double chin – even if we haven’t gained any weight. Most people do not want to have submental fat or double chins, which could spoil an otherwise good jawline.
Factors leading to a double chin include:
Aging
As we get old, our skin loses elasticity, resulting in drooping skin and a double chin.
Weight and Diet
While weight growth is not typically the root of a double chin, it’s among the possibilities. A high-calorie, unhealthy-fat, and processed-food diet could lead to weight gain and, ultimately, a double chin.
Genetics
The development of a double chin might be influenced by genetics. Those who have a family history of double chins or sagging skin are more likely to develop one themselves.
Weak Posture
Bad posture could weaken the chin and neck muscles, making their surrounding skin loose and lose elasticity. It eventually leads to a double chin.
If you want to lessen the double chin, there are a few non-invasive double chin removal procedures that could help improve the face contours.
Pico Laser
The Pico Laser is called for its picosecond laser technology, which has a pulse width of a trillionth of a second. This innovative procedure enables beams of laser to go further into the skin and stimulate collagen formation.
The pulse durations of each Pico Laser vary between 450 and 750 picoseconds. Unlike standard nanolasers, the shorter duration provides higher efficacy, greater safety, and less discomfort and damage.
HIFU
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) targets the facial muscle and skin (SMAS) layers, resulting in considerable face lifting and skin tightening. The layer or SMAS is the exact region that is addressed during facelift surgery. As a result, HIFU is especially helpful for contouring the jawline and chin. It also offers the extra benefit of visualizing the exact layers and depth, ensuring that the ultrasonic energy is administered to the most beneficial location.
Thermage
If we were to pick only one effective double chin removal procedure, it’ll be RF procedures such as Thermage!
Radiofrequency is the most effective way for destroying fat cells using heat. This method employs electromagnetic waves to boost the hypodermis and dermis’ temperature, which contain fat cells.
In-depth, the temperature goes up to 65 degrees, which is sufficient to rupture the adipocytes’ walls and break them down. The surface’s temperature doesn’t exceed 42 degrees, making the treatment painless and free of negative effects on your skin. Some redness may happen, but it will fade within a few minutes to hours.
Fotona 4D
Fotona 4D treatment addresses face lifting and skin tightening with four distinct laser modalities. While avoiding your superficial epidermis, this laser warms deeper layers of skin tissue, increasing collagen remodeling and production of new collagen. This makes the procedure safer, comfortable, and requires less downtime. Aside from skin tightening around the jawline and chin, Fotona 4D also addresses facial flaws while improving the texture of the skin.
Injectables
BTX injections are non-surgical injections of botulinum toxin that could be employed to contour and lift your neck and lower face. This could boost the overall contour of your jawline and give greater chin support.
To ‘mask’ the double chins, filler injection into the jaw and chin could be done. It’s accomplished through improved lower face support and skin tightness due to the filler’s collagen-stimulating effects.
