Before deciding on the best treatment, it’s crucial to determine whether your double chin is caused by excess fat, loose skin, or both. This assessment will help us recommend the most effective solution. If fat is the primary issue, treatments like Kybella or TruSculpt may be recommended. If loose skin is a concern, we might suggest tightening technologies or a combination of fat-reduction and skin-tightening procedures.
Kybella: Fat Dissolving Injections
Kybella is a game-changer for those struggling with stubborn submental fat (double chin). This injectable treatment uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. Once injected into the target area, Kybella dissolves fat cells, resulting in a permanent reduction of submental fullness. Typically, 2-4 treatments are required, and results are long-lasting since the fat cells are permanently destroyed.
Benefits of Kybella:
- Non-surgical, minimally invasive
- Permanent fat removal
- No downtime
- Visible improvement within a few weeks
TruSculpt: Body Contouring with Heat Technology
TruSculpt uses radiofrequency technology to target and reduce fat in the submental area, while also tightening the skin. The heat from the RF energy helps break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. TruSculpt is excellent for patients who have both fat and loose skin, as it not only reduces fat but also stimulates collagen production for a tightening effect.
Benefits of TruSculpt:
- Fat reduction and skin tightening in one treatment
- Non-invasive, no needles required
- Minimal downtime
- Visible results after 1-2 sessions
- Up to 24% fat reduction in treated areas
When to Use Skin Tightening Only
If loose skin is your primary concern, treatments like Morpheus8 and Secret Pro may be ideal. Both technologies use RF energy to tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production. These treatments help firm up sagging skin and restore a youthful appearance without addressing fat.
Skin Tightening Technologies:
- Morpheus8: Combines microneedling with RF energy for deep skin remodeling and tightening.
- Secret Pro: Uses RF and CO2 technologies to improve skin texture, tighten, and rejuvenate.
Combination Treatments for Best Results
In some cases, a combination of Kybella and TruSculpt may be recommended to address both fat and skin laxity. At Lip Doctor, we customize your treatment plan based on your unique needs, ensuring optimal results. If both fat and loose skin are present, we may first focus on fat reduction with Kybella or TruSculpt, followed by skin-tightening treatments like Morpheus8 or Secret Pro to enhance the overall appearance of your chin and jawline.
