Double Chins

Introduction 

We know that a double chin can make you look older than your real age and certainly older than you feel.

Chin fat plays an important role in the appearance of a youthful looking neck, but it is also prone to a condition which in medical terms is known as ‘sub-mental fullness’. The sub-mental area is the triangular shaped area directly under the chin, and to a layperson, sub-mental fullness is the same thing as a double chin.

It is virtually impossible to remove a double chin through diet or exercise alone and many patients come to see us for help.

Double Chins

We offer double chin removal in London to remove stubborn fat using fat freezing known as Cool Mini. This will appeal to anyone who wants a non surgical double chin removal treatment and it uses a very small CoolSculpting applicator specifically designed for fitting underneath the chin.

CoolSculpting at our London clinic uses cryolipolysis or fat freezing to permanently destroy fat cells. A treatment with Cool Mini takes as little as 45 minutes and best results will appear in about 2 to 4 months.  It really is an excellent option for chin fat removal without surgery.

A Double Chin or Loose Neck Skin?

However sometimes people confuse a double chin with another condition, which is actually loose or saggy neck skin.  This is caused by the body slowing down the production of collagen and elastin and instead of requiring a treatment to remove a double chin, a neck tightening treatment such as Ultherapy which uses micro-focussed ultrasound energy will give far better results.

In our experience, Ultherapy remains the gold standard for anyone seeking a non-surgical solution to lift sagging skin in the lower face or to tighten neck skin. The final result will be close to a neck lift but without the surgery and associated downtime.

Next Steps

We offer complimentary assessments with our experienced and fully trained practitioners to help you better understand the various treatments that we have for improving double chins and loose neck skin.  During an assessment, our practitioners will be able to give you their opinion on which treatment might be best for you, explain in detail what treatment with CoolSculpting and Ultherapy is like and outline the cost. You will then be able to go away to decide if it might be right for you.

So if you are concerned by the appearance of a double chin or sagging and loose skin on your neck, please telephone us on +44 20 7935 6358, send an enquiry on the Contact Us Page or email appointments@drhausdermatology.com.
