A defined, contoured jawline is a highly sought after feature, and maybe a recent candid photo has sent us into a spiral, frantically researching how to get rid of a double chin without resorting to surgery. Below we explore what causes sagging skin around the chin and neck, and more important what we can do about it.

 

What is a Double Chin?

A somewhat disparaging term in beauty parlance, a double chin is simply the accumulation of excess fat around the chin and neck. Often a result of muscle weakness or skin sagging, it may throw off facial balance and give the appearance of have multiple chins, or a more rounded and swollen visage.

What Causes a Double Chin?

- Weight gain
- Loose skin after weight loss
- Genetics factors
- Aging
- Poor posture
- Sedentary lifestyle

Can I Get Rid of a Double Chin Without Losing Weight?

While losing weight can help you lose fat around the chin and neck, excess weight is not always the root cause of a double chin. If swelling and stagnant fluid build-up have caused the appearance of excess fat, it is possible to reduce this with at-home skin tightening devices, facial massage, and double chin exercises.

How to Get Rid of A Double Chin Naturally?

While completely natural methods may not yield as dramatic results as those achieved with beauty technology, they may help bolster results when combined with skin-tightening techniques. Natural methods include double chin exercises, facial exercises, weight loss, and facial massage using guasha or jade roller.

Can I Get Rid of a Double Chin Without Surgery?

We get it, you want to get rid of your double chin without the significant downtime accompanying invasive surgical procedures. And the good news is, it is possible. Advances in beauty technology allow once exclusively in-clinic treatments to be administered from home. These include radio frequency, electro muscle stimulation, microcurrent and laser skin tightening.

Can Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Get Rid of a Double Chin?

 

 

The answer, thankfully, is yes.

Radio Frequency (RF) is a skin-tightening technique that uses electrical currents to create heat in the tissue to dissolve fat cells and support collagen synthesis. Radio frequency currents are delivered in continuous wave mode and unlike laser or heat therapy, radio frequency currents can create heat derived from the tissue itself. The electrical currents create thermal energy, triggering a physiological response to modify the appearance of the skin and reduce subcutaneous fat. The application of thermal energy releases heat-shock proteins that produce new collagen. The physiological response also alters the metabolism of stored fat cells to mobilize them releasing stored energy. Radio frequency can be delivered in a clinical setting, or many at-home devices now integrate the technology with other anti-aging techniques such as red light therapy, EMS, and ultrasound.

Can Ultrasound Therapy Help Treat a Double Chin?

Ultrasound therapy boosts collagen production and tightens loose skin to target sagging jowls in the chin and neck area. Ultrasonic waves are delivered to the skin creating microvibrations having a mechanical and thermal effect. This treatment is very effective for skin tightening when combined with radio frequency. Ultrasound therapy for sagging skin can be delivered in–clinic or with an at-home device. In cases of severe sagging, many opt for professional ultrasound therapy such as Ultherapy with top-up treatments between appointments using an at-home device. Project E Beauty Reva combines radio frequency and ultrasound with red light therapy, EMS, and electroporation giving you a range of salon-like treatments in one single device.

Can EMS Treat a Double Chin?

EMS or electo muscle stimualtion can also enhance the jawline by targeting facial muscles. Mild electrical currents are used to wake up facial muscles to produce more collagen and elastin. Improved muscle tone restores balance to the face offering a sleek, defined and lifted appearance.

Can Microcurrent Help Treat A Double Chin?

Yes, microcurrent is another in-clinic turned at-home treatment option that can tighten excess fat and stave off saggging jowls. The big advantage with microcurrent devices is that the probes are often designed to sculpt the around the chin and jaw to specifically target this area. Microcurrent lifts and tones using using low-frequency and low-intensity pulsed direct current that boosts cell function and sculpts the jaw and cheek bones.

The Takeaway: Can You Treat a Double Chin Without Surgery?

Thankfully there are now many more treatment options to lift sagging skin or the infamous ‘double chin’ without resorting to surgery. Radio frequency, ultrasound and EMS and microcurrent are amongst the most popular but other methods such as double chin exercises and lifestyle interventions can accelerate results to restore facial symmetry (and body confidence) without invasive and sometimes high-risk procedures.
