About Double Chin

A double chin can be caused by various factors and does not always develop solely because of weight gain. Genetics, ageing and your own natural jawline can all be factors that could result in a double chin. We know that this can cause the affected person to lose self-confidence.

For some people, their chin naturally sits further back. This can accentuate a double chin. Often, a double chin can occur when there is excess weight, this can be addressed through some simple changes in lifestyle, including a healthier diet and a greater level of exercise.

If the subcutaneous fat beneath the chin is too stubborn to shift through diet and exercise alone, then aesthetic treatments may be an appropriate intervention. Light Tough Clinic specialises in body contouring treatment that can be used to reduce the appearance of a double chin.

Double Chin – Frequently Asked Questions

A double chin is the layer of fat that forms beneath the chin, causing the appearance of a second chin. It can create a fuller look around the neck and jawline, while causing a lack of definition in the face. Some people may find this unappealing, and can make them feel less confident about their look.

A double chin tends to be more visible when the head is tilted down or when weight is gained, however, it can also be seen in people who are slim.

One of the primary causes is weight gain, where excess fat accumulates in various parts of the body, including under the chin. Genetics also play a significant role, as some people are more likely to store fat in this area or may have a naturally weaker jawline, making a double chin more noticeable.

Ageing is another factor as the skin loses elasticity and muscle tone over time due to a decline in collagen and elastin production. This can cause the area under the chin to sag and create the appearance of a double chin.

It’s possible to reduce or get rid of a double chin, though the effectiveness of different methods varies. Non-surgical approaches include a combination of targeted exercises that strengthen the muscles in the neck and jaw, a balanced diet to reduce overall body fat, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Some people also use facial exercises or devices designed to tone the area. In more severe cases where a person’s confidence is affected, aesthetic treatments such as fillers and fat freezing may be considered to specifically target and reduce submental fat, while creating a more defined look.

Get in touch with us if you are interested in a highly effective, non-invasive treatment for your double chin.

One of the most effective ways is to focus on overall weight loss through a balanced diet and regular exercise, as reducing body fat can help reduce the fat stored under the chin.

Incorporating cardiovascular exercises, such as walking or jogging, into your routine helps burn calories and promotes fat loss throughout the body, including the chin area.

Targeted facial exercises, like chin lifts, neck stretches, and jaw movements, can strengthen and tone the muscles in the neck and jawline, contributing to a more defined chin appearance over time.

Staying properly hydrated and eating a diet rich in nutrient-dense foods such as whole grains, legumes and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, supports skin elasticity and muscle definition.

Consistency is important for seeing results, and while changes may be gradual, these methods can reduce the appearance of a double chin over time. However, non-surgical aesthetic treatments are non-invasive, and can have even more effective results.

  • Coolsculpting: This treatment works by freezing fat cells which leads to their complete removal from the body, helping to target the stubborn area of fat under the chin.
  • Exilis Elite Contouring: Using the power of radiofrequency, this treatment helps to get rid of stubborn fat in the chin area, while also tightening the skin.
  • Dermal Fillers: These filler injections contain hyaluronic acid, which can help to restore lost moisture in the skin, and is a great solution for adding volume and reshaping the chin area.
