Kybella & Other Double Chin Treatments
In the age of social media, selfies, and Zoom meetings, men and women are more aware than ever of their double chins. “Submental Fat” below the jaw can make a person feel self-conscious and even make them look older than they are. But thanks to several new medical advancements in double chin treatment, there are now quite a few safe and effective procedures to help get rid of a double chin.
Double chin treatments can help improve the contour of the lower-face and improve a man or woman’s facial balance. Removing unwanted volume from the lower third of the face and neck can have a tremendously positive effect on the overall facial aesthetic.
In this article we discuss the revolutionary new double chin treatments available at SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, MI. These double chin procedures can help give you the smooth sculpted jaw that you’ve always wanted!
Causes of a Double Chin
Even individuals at their ideal weight can suffer from fat beneath the jawline that causes a “double chin”. This is because a double chin is often hereditary. And “submental fat” is one of the hardest areas to reduce – because the chin often does not respond to diet or exercise.
And, as a person ages, their facial skin typically loses elasticity, which exacerbates the problem. When the skin on the chin and jaw hangs loose or folds, it can create “jowls” that add years to one’s appearance.
Kybella Double Chin Treatment
Kybella is the only injectable treatment that the FDA has approved for fat removal beneath the jaw, in the “double chin” area. Kybella’s formula is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a substance found naturally in the human body. When Kybella is injected into an area, it causes rapid and permanent destruction of fat cells.
Kybella is injected into small areas at a time, so it offers the advantage of being able to treat areas of fat very precisely in a double chin. Most patients will require a series of four to six Kybella double chin treatments in order to achieve their desired results.
Coolsculpting Double Chin Treatment
CoolSculpting is also a highly effective double chin treatment. Unwanted fat cells are frozen and destroyed and then naturally removed from the body. And because the body does not have the ability to produce new fat cells, once they the fat is naturally eliminated from the double chin, it is gone for good!
While most people think of CoolSculpting as a body treatment, CoolSculpting was recently approved by the FDA to be used on smaller treatment areas, including beneath the chin.
A special applicator, called the “CoolMini,” fits precisely in the double chin area to freeze and permanently remove submental fat. CoolSculpting also offers the additional advantage of providing some skin tightening benefits.
MiniFX Double Chin Treatment
MiniFX is a revolutionary fat reduction and skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to target deep layers of fatty deposits in small areas like the chin. The MiniFX applicator’s compact size fits where other fat loss procedures may not – including under the chin and around the knees and upper arms.
The MiniFX applicator emits gentle but powerful radiofrequency (RF) energy that penetrates the deeper layers of tissue, without damaging the surrounding skin. The thermal energy delivers precise heating that destroys the fat cells – while also tightening the out layer of skin.
By destroying fat and contracting and tightening lax skin in small areas, the MiniFX offers “reduction, contraction, and contouring” for truly remarkable results.
Many people find MiniFX more comfortable than Kybella or CoolSculpting fat loss treatments – because there are no injections and no “freezing” temperatures. While CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis that can be very cold, MiniFX uses warm radiofrequency heat energy with advanced cooling technology and built-in temperature controls, to make it very comfortable.
