A double chin, also known as submental fullness, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, or body type. While it’s a common concern, it often leads to self-consciousness about one’s appearance. Non-surgical double chin reduction is an effective solution to reduce and contour the double chin area with less side effects and downtime. This treatment can help you achieve a slimmer, more defined profile.
What Causes a Double Chin?
Several factors can contribute to the appearance of a double chin, including:
1. Genetics: Family traits can predispose you to store fat under the chin.
2. Weight Changes: Fluctuations in weight can lead to excess fat deposits in this area.
3. Aging: As skin loses elasticity with age, it can sag and create the appearance of a double chin.
4. Posture: Poor posture can weaken the muscles in the chin and neck, exacerbating the issue.
Non-Surgical Chin Reduction Treatments
At Papillon Bleu Aesthetics, we specialize in non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments designed to target stubborn fat and improve skin tightness in the chin and neck area. Our offerings include:
1. Lipolysis (Lipo Shots):
These FDA-approved injections break down fat cells, which are naturally flushed out by the body over time. This treatment is ideal for those looking for gradual, natural-looking results. The active medication that is used for dissolving the fat is Deoxycholic acid.
2. Advanced Contouring And Tightening Devices:
RF microneedling devices such as Potenza RF Microneedling, can tighten the skin for a more contoured jaw line and sculpted appearance.
Benefits of Non-surgical Double Chin Reduction with Lipolysis
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive: No need for surgery or extended downtime.
- Customizable: Solutions tailored to your specific needs.
- Long-lasting results: Maintain your sculpted look with proper care and maintenance of your weight.
Who is a good candidate?
Ideal candidates are individuals with mild to moderate submental fullness (double chin) who want a non-surgical solution. It is not a weight-loss treatment and works best for those with localized fat deposits under the chin.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
During your initial consultation, your physician will evaluate your chin and neck area, discuss your desired outcomes, and explain the best treatment options available. Your provider also provide information on what to expect during and after your procedure, including timelines for results.
What to Expect After Your Treatment
After receiving lipolytic injections for double chin reduction, here’s what you can typically expect:
Moderate Swelling and Redness: It’s normal to experience some swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area for a few days. This is a sign that the treatment is working. In cases of larger fat pocketsa, the swelling could be more severe and takes longer to reside.
Gradual Results: Results are not immediate. Over the course of several weeks, your body will naturally process and eliminate the broken-down fat cells, leading to a slimmer and more defined profile.
Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous activities for 24-48 hours. As significant swelling may last upto a week, it is recommended to schedule your appointment far enough from your significant events.
Follow-up Treatments: Depending on your goals, additional sessions may be needed to achieve optimal results. Your practitioner will advise you on the best schedule for follow-ups.
Don’t let a double chin hold you back from feeling confident in your appearance. If you are worried about side effects, risks and long down-time of surgery, non-surgical treatments could be an effective options for transforming your profile.
