A double chin is the excess fat volume gathered under the chin and neck area that looks like a secondary chin. An ill-defined jawline also gives the appearance of a double chin. The visual appearance of a double chin dramatically affects confidence as the people look heavier and older than they actually are. Luckily here at Fine Plus Medical Center, we have a variety of treatments available to help you finally feel proud of your facial appearance.
The excess volume in this area can be a result of many factors like loose skin, excess neck fat, weak chin, drooped salivary gland or sagged platysma muscle. And it can be a combination of any of these that result in a visible double chin, not just excess fat. So an expert’s consultation is needed before fixing treatment.
Fat in the neck area is usually difficult to remove despite exercise and dieting. Thankfully, advanced aesthetic medicine has allowed us to treat this stubborn fat without resorting to excessive exercise or surgery. These non-invasive double chin treatment methods, like CoolSculpting and Ultherapy, can take place in a shorter time, involving no downtime and exceptionally long-lasting results.
Non-Invasive Face Lift – HIFU
HIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is a fat-resolving treatment specially designed to treat smaller areas of fat depositions like double chins. This non-invasive treatment starts to heat cells deep under the skin’s surface with ultrasound energy, promoting the production of more collagen.” This boosts collagen, which gives skin its elasticity and firmness, giving skin a tighter appearance with fewer wrinkles and more smoothness.
During the procedure, a handheld device is placed on the skin, and the ultrasound energy is focused on specific areas to create thermal coagulation points. The body’s natural healing process then kicks in, resulting in a gradual improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin over several weeks to months.
One of the main benefits of HIFU is that it is non-invasive and does not require any incisions or anesthesia, making it a safe and relatively comfortable procedure with minimal downtime. It is also suitable for a wide range of skin types and can be used on various areas of the face and body.
