As an aesthetics doctor, I see patients frustrated by this concern. But the good news is, there are several effective solutions available to help you achieve a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

Understanding the Causes of Submental Fullness:

Several factors can contribute to a double chin, including:

• Genetics: Some people are naturally predisposed to storing more fat in the submental area.

• Weight gain: Excess weight, even if not concentrated in the face, can lead to a buildup of fat under the chin.

• Ageing: As we age, our skin loses elasticity, which can cause sagging and contribute to the appearance of a double chin.



• Loss of muscle tone: Weakened jawline muscles can contribute to a less defined appearance.

Your Options for a Defined Jawline:

Now that we understand the culprits behind a double chin, let's explore some treatment options:

• Facial Sculpting with Fillers: Strategically placed dermal fillers can enhance jawline definition and create a more balanced profile.

• Electromagnet Muscle Stimulation (EMS): The GLO-Sculpt Treatment uses EMS technology to target and strengthen the muscles in the jawline area, helping to improve its definition and contour.

• Botox: While primarily known for treating wrinkles, Botox can also be used to relax the muscles in the jawline, creating a more defined appearance.

• Skin Tightening Treatments: Radiofrequency and laser treatments can stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, improving overall facial contour and reducing sagging.

Choosing the Right Treatment:

The best approach will depend on the severity of your double chin, your desired results, and your overall health. During a consultation, I will assess your individual needs and recommend the most effective treatment plan to achieve a sculpted, youthful jawline.

Beyond Treatments:

While treatments can provide dramatic results, maintaining a healthy weight and practicing good skincare habits are crucial for long-lasting improvements. Eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and protecting your skin from sun damage all contribute to a more defined and youthful appearance.
