A double chin can form due to various reasons, including weight gain, skin laxity, and aging. Though surgical correction was the primary treatment option to remove stubborn neck fat, non-surgical double chin treatment options offer various ways for reducing a double chin appearance without the increased risks and recovery time.
While the Clearfield Medical Group offers a variety of treatment options to eliminate a double chin, there is one treatment that stands above the rest. Evoke is the only non-invasive treatment to utilize innovative safety features for body contouring and skin tightening. Reach out to Dr. William Clearfield hear more about non-surgical double chin treatments and decide the best method for your unique cosmetic needs.
Injections for Reducing a Double Chin
Previously, reducing a double chin required surgery, but non-invasive injections are now available for treatment. One option, Kybella injections, reduces excess chin fat by using a mixture of acids to dissolve fat cells. Specifically, the injections limit fat cell’s ability to hold and produce new fat, resulting in a slimming of the chin.
Another injectable option for reducing fat underneath the chin is anti-wrinkle injections, specifically Botox, to produce effects like a neck lift. The injections limit the muscle movements underneath the chin to relax them, reducing neck banding and sagging skin. Though this treatment option does not reduce the fat underneath the chin, it tightens the skin to produce a slimming effect.
However, injections pose a few side effects and risks when used as a non-surgical double chin treatment. For example, patients typically experience mild to moderate bruising, swelling, redness, and discomfort at injection sites.
Chin Contouring Treatments
For eliminating double chin fat, non-surgical body contouring treatments that apply cooling temperatures to the skin of treatment areas are one option. These procedures freeze excess fat cells, effectively killing them and allowing the body to remove them over time naturally with filiation systems. However, body contouring with this method does not improve the skin’s laxity, which could lead to looser skin after the body removes treated fat cells.
Alternatively, Evoke treatments use heat from radiofrequency energy to reduce excess fat cells underneath the chin. As a result, the treatment kickstarts the body’s natural collagen production and remodels the skin’s underlying tissues to ensure tighter, smoother skin after fat loss. Therefore, Evoke may be the best choice for patients looking to reduce their double chin while improving the skin’s laxity and appearance.
Unlike injection treatments, no-surgical body contouring does not carry risks of side effects after treatment besides mild skin redness. Furthermore, since the procedures are non-invasive, most Clearfield Medical Group patients return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.
