Top 3 Treatments to Get Rid of Double Chin
If you’re in Woodbury, MN and in need of treatments to get rid of a double chin once and for all, you’ve come to the right place.
Do you tend to pick camera angles from above? 📸 Maybe you’ve found the perfect selfie angle to eliminate that double chin, but this probably means you’re unhappy with the way your neck and chin look IRL.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone! A healthy diet (hint: less alcohol) and exercise can certainly help minimize the volume of fat stored in the upper neck and chin areas. But there are other factors that could make it difficult to get that double chin to completely disappear.
What Causes Double Chin?
Double chins are definitely more common in those who are overweight than in those who aren’t. However, excess weight isn’t the only cause of that pesky pocket of fat.
Natural aging causes the skin to lose elasticity and sag around the chin area, which gives the appearance of a double chin even if you stay fairly slim everywhere else. Genetic factors can also impact the formation of a double chin, like how fat tends to be distributed around your body and how much elasticity is naturally found in your skin.
If you’ve tried diet and exercise just to have that stubborn chin sticking around as a double, we’ve got some treatment options that will help you eliminate it once and for all…
3 Cosmetic Treatments that will Eliminate Double Chin
You’ll be happy to know that none of the three double chin treatments we’re going to discuss involve a scalpel or incision of any kind.
That’s the wonder of injectables – you get the amazing results you desire without going under the 🔪!
Mesotherapy/Kybella
When it comes to dissolving fat, mesotherapy is an almost magical treatment that’s incredibly effective. The overall treatment can take on many forms, including injections of hormones, vitamins, enzymes, and even plant extracts 🌱. Kybella™ is an increasingly popular form of mesotherapy, and it’s currently the only one that’s FDA approved.
Kybella involves injecting sodium deoxycholic acid into the middle layer of skin, which is also known as the “mesoderm.” Sodium deoxycholic acid is naturally occurring in the body and quickly breaks down fat cells to reduce their volume in the targeted area. Not only does it eliminate the fat, but it also:
Tightens skin
Lightens up pigmented skin and gives the skin a healthy glow
The best things about Kybella, though, are that there is relatively no downtime after the procedure and the treatment results are permanent!
Dermal Fillers
If your double chin is due to skin that’s simply sagging, you may not need to receive a treatment like Kybella that will melt away fat cells. Since tightening sagging skin is where dermal fillers shine, they are the perfect solution to that drooping turkey neck.
Fillers are injected into aging or sagging skin in order to “fill out” the spaces left by the loss of collagen. Not only do they fill, but they also tighten. Injecting dermal fillers into the chin and jawline can help to tighten loose skin under the chin. After treatment, your sagging neck skin will become firmer and produce more collagen for a younger, tighter-looking, and more defined jaw/chin area.
While dermal filler treatments aren’t permanent, they are pretty long-lasting. On average, you should be able to see amazing results for between 6 months and 2 years before the fillers are absorbed into the body.
PDO Threads
The cutting-edge non-surgical facelift, PDO threads are becoming increasingly popular for those with aging skin. This groundbreaking treatment can also be used for non-surgical neck lifts, cheek lifts, and sculpting the jawline – all of which work well at lifting sagging skin to eliminate that double chin.
During this minimally invasive treatment, Polydioxanone (PDO) Threads are placed under the outer layer of the skin. These threads are sutures that are small in size but strong enough to lift sagging skin into the position that’s desired. Once the threads are inserted, your body’s natural healing process kicks in, producing more collagen and tightening the skin even further, and brightening its tone.
Best of all, PDO threads naturally dissolve in the body and their lifting results stick around for more than a year in most cases.
