Double Chin

A double chin and flabby jowls aren't solely linked to ageing; they can occur at any stage of life and are often noticed when viewing oneself in profiles or photographs. This concern is common in both men and women and can impact confidence. Understanding the root cause—whether it's excess fat, loose skin, or a combination of both—is crucial in selecting the most effective treatment approach.

What Causes a Double Chin?

A double chin or neck waddle can result from excess fat, loose skin, or both. Younger patients often struggle with fat accumulation beneath the chin, while older patients typically present with sagging skin and fat deposits. The treatment strategy for each individual varies based on the underlying issue, making a personalised approach essential.

Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatments

At Skin Renewal, we offer advanced non-surgical treatments that target fat reduction and skin tightening, helping create a more sculpted and youthful jawline. These procedures are highly effective in improving the appearance of the chin and neck area. Our comprehensive range of treatments includes:

Why Combination Treatments Work Best

At Skin Renewal, we recognise that combining treatments often yields the best results. We can customise a solution tailored to your specific needs by addressing fat reduction and skin tightening. Combination treatments help accelerate results and provide long-lasting anti-ageing benefits. Starting these treatments early improves collagen levels and reduces fat, delivering optimal long-term outcomes.

Skin Renewal's Doctor-Led Approach to Double Chin Treatments

Our doctor-led team ensures that every treatment plan is tailored to your needs. A medical doctor will assess your concerns, medical history, and goals during your consultation. Based on this assessment, we recommend a personalised treatment plan incorporating combination therapies where appropriate. Our holistic approach ensures a safe and effective treatment experience.

questions

Are treatments for double chin available at all Skin Renewal clinics?
How can you flatten your double chin?

Non-surgical treatments such as RF skin tightening, carboxytherapy, and fat-reducing injections like Ceccarelli Solution are highly effective in flattening your double chin. Skin Renewal offers personalised treatment plans combining fat reduction and skin tightening procedures for optimal results. These procedures are designed to target the underlying causes, such as fat accumulation or loose skin.

Are double chins permanent?

No, double chins are not permanent. Depending on the cause, various ways exist to reduce or eliminate them. If excess fat is the issue, weight loss and non-surgical fat reduction treatments like Exilis Elite can be effective. Skin tightening treatments such as Titan or RF Needling can improve elasticity for loose skin. The key is to identify what causes it, whether it is caused by fat deposits, loose skin, or a combination of both, and then choose the most appropriate treatment.

Will your double chin go away if you lose weight?

If your double chin is primarily caused by excess fat, losing weight can help reduce its appearance. However, if your skin loses elasticity after weight loss, you may still experience sagging. Non-surgical procedures like RF skin tightening or Thread Lifting can help improve skin firmness after weight loss, providing a smoother and more defined jawline.

Why have do you suddenly have a double chin?

Several factors, including weight gain, poor posture, or age-related skin laxity, can cause a sudden double chin. Excess fat under the chin can accumulate quickly if a diet or lifestyle changes. Additionally, collagen production decreases as you age, leading to looser skin. Addressing the underlying causes through skin tightening and fat reduction treatments can help restore a more sculpted jawline.

As a client who has been coming here for years, a review of Skin Renewal is long overdue! I've been with them from the time they were in Windermere to where they are now in Florida Road. From the receptionists to the nurses, you are always greeted with warm, genuine smiles. They are all extremely accommodation, very patient and highly professional. As an ozone therapy patient, Nurse Mercedes is highly knowledgeable and passionate about ozone. All the friendly staff go out of their way to give you royal treatment, to the point where I even referred my parents to them. If I could give Skin Renewal 6 out of 5 stars, I would!
