At Trikwan Aesthetics, we understand how frustrating it can be to struggle with a double chin. This common concern, often caused by factors such as weight gain, ageing, or genetics, can affect anyone, regardless of their body type or lifestyle. While a double chin may be difficult to target with diet and exercise alone, the good news is that there are highly effective non-surgical treatments available to help you achieve a more defined and contoured jawline.
In this blog, we’ll explore three of the most popular and effective non-surgical options for reducing unwanted under-chin fat: fat-dissolving injections, Morpheus8, and dermal fillers. Each of these treatments offers a unique approach to addressing the issue, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs and goals.
Understanding the Causes of a Double Chin
Before diving into the treatment options, it’s important to understand the factors that contribute to the development of a double chin. The accumulation of excess fat or loose skin under the chin can be attributed to several factors:
- Weight Gain: Excess body fat can naturally accumulate in the submental area (under the chin), leading to the appearance of a double chin.
- Ageing: As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and the muscles under the chin may weaken, causing the skin to sag and create the appearance of a double chin.
- Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to store fat in the chin area or have a naturally weaker jawline, making them more prone to developing a double chin.
While these factors can make it challenging to reduce a double chin through traditional methods, non-surgical treatments offer targeted and effective solutions.
Fat-Dissolving Injections: A Targeted Solution for Chin Fat
Fat-dissolving injections, also known as deoxycholic acid injections, are one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for reducing a double chin. This treatment works by breaking down and absorbing fat cells in the targeted area, leading to a more sculpted and defined jawline.
How It Works
The active ingredient in fat-dissolving injections is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, this acid targets the fat cells, breaking them down so that they can be naturally eliminated by the body over time.
Benefits of Fat-Dissolving Injections
- Precision: Fat-dissolving injections are highly targeted, focusing specifically on the areas where fat is most prominent, ensuring effective results.
- Non-Surgical: This treatment offers a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction, with minimal downtime and recovery.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regenerate, meaning that the results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight.
Most patients require a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart to achieve optimal results. The treatment is quick, typically taking only 15-30 minutes per session, and you can return to your normal activities shortly afterward.
Morpheus8: Skin Tightening and Contouring
For those dealing with a double chin caused by loose or sagging skin, Morpheus8 offers a powerful non-surgical solution. Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, and contour the facial features.
How It Works
Morpheus8 delivers RF energy through tiny microneedles that penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. This process heats the underlying tissues, stimulating collagen and elastin production while also promoting skin tightening. As a result, the skin under the chin becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted, reducing the appearance of a double chin.
Benefits of Morpheus8
- Non-Invasive: Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime, making it an excellent option for those looking to improve their appearance without undergoing surgery.
- Comprehensive Results: In addition to reducing a double chin, Morpheus8 can improve overall skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance skin tone.
- Customizable: The depth and intensity of the treatment can be adjusted based on your specific needs, ensuring a personalized approach to achieving your desired results.
Patients typically see noticeable improvements after just one session, with optimal results appearing over the course of a few weeks as the body’s natural collagen production increases.
Dermal Fillers: Enhancing Jawline Definition
While fat-dissolving injections and Morpheus8 focus on reducing fat and tightening skin, dermal fillers can enhance the contours of your jawline, creating a more defined and balanced profile. Dermal fillers work by adding volume to specific areas, helping to improve the overall structure of the face.
How It Works
Dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that attracts and retains moisture. When strategically injected into the jawline, dermal fillers can create a more sculpted and youthful appearance by adding volume and definition.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
- Instant Results: One of the biggest advantages of dermal fillers is that the results are immediate, with no downtime required.
- Versatile: Dermal fillers can be used to address a variety of concerns, including enhancing the jawline, filling in hollows, and improving facial symmetry.
- Natural-Looking: At Trikwan Aesthetics, we prioritize subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your features without making you look overdone.
Dermal fillers can be an excellent complement to other treatments like fat-dissolving injections or Morpheus8, providing a comprehensive approach to achieving a more defined jawline.
