Coolsculpting for Double Chin

The dreaded double chin can arrive due to genetic factors. It can also come on due to weight gain. Often age is a factor in having a double chin.

The term describes extra fat which makes its way to the area under your chin as you get older or gain weight. This makes you appear heavier, as it diminishes the definition around your jawline. To add insult to injury, the skin in this area loses its elasticity over time. It can start to sag and give you that double chin look.

Ageing is part of life but if you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see, there are methods to diminish a double chin.

Of course, the first step is to work on a healthy lifestyle if you don’t already. By eating well, exercising and drinking plenty of water, you can encourage your chin to slim down and you’ll notice better jawline definition.

Beyond this, in the past, surgery was your only option. This meant going ‘under the knife’ and having fat removed, however the treatment didn’t do much to improve skin’s elasticity.

Another option is known as ‘mesotherapy’. This involves dozens (some times up to 100) of injections to dissolve fat.

A final solution to turn to if you’re looking to get rid of your double chin is CoolSculpting. This method is non-invasive and is now used by thousands around the world.

Simply explained, Coolsculpting has specially designed an applicator for double chin called Coolmini. CoolSculpting is a contouring treatment that can spot freeze fat from your problem areas, without the need for surgery. This increasingly popular non-invasive fat removal treatment uses controlled cooling (cryolipolysis) to reduce fat deposits from targeted problem areas.

Coolsculpting is not a treatment for obesity and is not designed to help you shed large amounts of weight. Its purpose is to effectively remove the last amounts of stubborn fat from specific areas of your body. This makes it ideal for reducing the appearance of your double chin.

Dermedica is one of the few clinics in Perth to offer CoolSculpting. Clients come for the treatment because they want to put the finishing touches to recontour their facial profile to get rid of double chins.

CoolSculpting works to ‘kill’ your fat cells. After treatment, they dissolve and naturally leave your body.

Before you undergo treatment at Dermedica, you’ll have a consultation with our Director Dr Teh. She will discuss the areas concerning you, talk you through every possible solution and show you examples of past patient experiences. If you decide on CoolSculpting, your treatment will be booked for a later date.

During the session, the treatment is applied directly to your double chin. You may feel cold for the first few moments but the area should quickly go numb so you don’t feel any discomfort.

CoolSculpting sessions usually take around an hour, and because they are not invasive you shouldn’t need any downtime.

As with most medical procedures, individual results vary, but you are likely to notice your chin looks more defined after treatment, giving you a more youthful profile.

If you want to fight the effects of aging or you have never been happy with your neckline, CoolSculpting may be the ideal solution for you. Find out more about CoolSculpting here
