Treatment to eliminate the double chin
A double chin, also known as submental fat, is an accumulation of fat beneath the jawline that can be caused by various factors such as genetics, aging, or weight gain. This condition is not solely related to being overweight; in fact, some individuals may experience it even when they are very thin, due to hereditary factors or the natural skin laxity that occurs with age.
Historically, treatments for the double chin were quite limited. Surgical interventions, such as liposuction or neck lifts, were often the only option for individuals wishing to reduce this excess fat. While these methods are effective, they are invasive and require significant recovery time.
With advances in aesthetic medicine, non-invasive treatments have emerged, offering less restrictive alternatives for patients. Among the current options, there are:
Deoxycholic acid injections (Belkyra®): This treatment involves injecting a solution that destroys fat cells under the chin, allowing for a permanent and gradual reduction of the double chin.
Microneedling Radiofrequency (Morpheus®): This technology destroys fat cells while tightening the surrounding tissues through collagen contraction.
Today, thanks to these non-surgical treatments, it is possible to treat the double chin without downtime, while achieving natural and permanent results. The choice of treatment depends on the specific needs of each patient, and it is possible to combine different technologies.
