For many, fat loss is a journey with many complicated, moving parts. There are some areas of the body where fat reduction is especially difficult, such as the face and chin area. Even with a healthy, balanced diet and a great workout program, certain areas of the body are notoriously stubborn. Chin fat reduction, specifically, is one that lots of people struggle with.
This is why we offer many fat-reduction treatments at our Toronto clinic. The Morpheus 8 treatment and Kybella injections are good for the double chin in particular. Read on to learn more about treating your stubborn spots with our various non-surgical fat reduction treatments.
What Causes a Double Chin?
What some don’t realize is that a double chin can be caused by a few different things. It can happen when one becomes overweight, but that’s not the only culprit. You may struggle with a double chin under a variety of circumstances:
- Loose skin. Even if there is no excess weight or fat in the area, severe skin laxity can cause the look of having a double chin.
- Excess fat deposits. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including genetics! Extra fat in this area can be hereditary.
- Poor posture. If you spend an excessive amount of time slumped over, looking downwards at your phone, etc, this can cause the muscles in the chin area to weaken. This loosens the skin and the muscles lose firmness.
Where your double chin came from may dictate which treatment is right for you. For example, the Morpheus 8 is great for skin tightening, while the Kybella and Belkyra injections target excess fat cells.
Either way, you can also supplement your skin treatments by doing some exercises! Gentle chin and face exercises are great for strengthening and toning the muscles in the area. This helps firm up the skin on the surface and gives a more defined look. Pairing this with one of our fat reduction treatments can help you quickly and permanently eliminate the stubborn double chin!
Double Chin Treatments
Many factors go into choosing a treatment, and our dedicated skincare professionals can help you determine the best course of action. Once they learn about your history, your health, your goals, and your skin type, they can recommend a personalized treatment plan. You may also find that other services like professional facials and body contouring can help you reach your overall goals even faster!
That being said, we have two main treatments for the double chin.
Morpheus8
The Morpheus8 in Toronto is a revolutionary skin tightening treatment that works quickly and easily. It’s perfect for reducing the double chin effect while offering many additional benefits.
How it Works
This innovative device works on two levels, combining micro-needling with radiofrequency. First, it triggers a series of micro-punctures using tiny needles. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response, boosting the production of collagen and elastin.
The radiofrequency then heats and targets the fat cells underneath the skin, helping your body eliminate them. They are then metabolized and removed from the body. This process creates a smoother, tighter, firmer, and more defined look on the surface.
Under the chin specifically, it gives you back that contoured, defined look you’re after. The additional collagen and elastin also improve elasticity, tone, and texture. Overall, the Morpheus 8 before and after results are comprehensive, noticeable, and long-lasting!
Morpheus 8 Key Benefits:
- Treats skin laxity and excess fat at the same time
- There are multiple configurations to best treat different areas of the face
- Great for small, stubborn, and hard-to-reach areas
- Safe for many skin types
- Boosts collagen production, which slows down as we age
- Results are seen after just a few sessions
- The procedure is non-invasive and virtually painless
Belkyra and Kybella Toronto Injections
Another option is the Kybella and Belkyra treatments. These are two techniques that are both designed to target fat cells and eliminate the appearance of a double chin by reducing excess fat in the area.
It’s an extremely fast treatment lasting only several minutes, and perhaps one of the least painful, invasive, and risky fat reduction treatments out there.
How it Works
These treatments use natural, injectable acids that immediately start working on breaking down the fat cells under the chin. The broken-down cells are then absorbed and permanently eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system.
This means the fat cells won’t return and follow-up treatments won’t be necessary as long as new fat cells don’t form. To see full and optimal results, most people need, on average, about six sessions which should be done at around one month apart. Our skincare professionals can give you a more specific estimate for your personal treatments once we get you in for a proper consultation!
Kybella Key Benefits:
- Non-invasive and non-surgical
- Mild to no discomfort involved. You’ll feel a slight sting or pricking sensation as the needle is administered, and some report a gentle burning sensation post-treatment. However, many report no negative or uncomfortable feelings, at all. At most, any discomfort lasts only a few minutes.
- Treatments are quick, you’re out in 30 minutes or less
- Permanent results
- Treatments start working immediately, full results can be seen in six months or less
- It uses acids naturally produced by your body already
- You can target multiple areas in one treatment session
All of our clients leave pleased with not only the easy process but also the dramatic Kybella before and after results. Especially in the thin, sensitive areas on and around the face, the results can be quite noticeable and can offer a significant confidence boost!
Painlessly Eliminate Your Double Chin
In the past, many have opted for painful, risky procedures like liposuction, tucks, and more to address loose skin and unwanted fat. These things come with dangerous potential side effects, long recovery periods, and often, an expensive bill!
Thankfully, we have some of the most innovative technology on the market to help you achieve your goals in a safer, more comfortable environment. Not only are these methods faster, easier, and less invasive, but they’re often more cost-effective. Our Morpheus8 and Kybella treatments are popular for a reason; get in touch with us today, and we’ll answer all your burning questions and get you in for an assessment!
