Double Chin
If you have a double chin and are unhappy with it, you’re not alone. Excess fat or loose skin under the chin can make you look overweight or older than you are. A double chin can result from various factors, including genetics, weight gain, and aging.
There are several options for double chin removal, including surgery, laser therapy, and injections. However, surgery is often associated with high costs, long downtime, and various side effects. As a result, fewer people are opting for surgical solutions when less invasive, more affordable options are available.
Injections have become increasingly popular due to their low cost, minimal side effects, and natural results. “Deoxycholic acid is a substance the gallbladder uses to dissolve dietary fat,” says Ishii. “Injecting this chemical into the skin beneath the chin melts fat, which the body then reabsorbs.”
Laser therapy is another effective option. Fotona’s non-surgical fat reduction uses a high-energy light beam to break down fat cells and tighten the skin under the chin, neck, and jawline. The Fotona Nd laser in Piano Mode delivers super-long pulses of laser energy to the skin's epidermal layers. This modality allows for safe energy delivery without damaging the skin's surface, providing skin-remodeling benefits beneath the surface. The thermal bulk heat induction stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping restore firmness and rejuvenate the neck's skin. Non-surgical neck lift procedures are ideal before or after other neck-sculpting treatments, such as the Er laser fractional skin resurfacing. Combining Er and Nd lasers in one procedure is just one advantage of Fotona laser treatments, making them superior to other laser treatments on the market today.
TREATMENT
At Blue Cosmetic Clinic, we blend cutting-edge laser therapy with targeted injections for remarkable transformations:
Our laser therapy harnesses Fotona's state-of-the-art technology, offering a dual-wavelength approach designed to sculpt and tighten skin across all body areas. This non-invasive procedure combines exclusive delivery modes for hyperthermic adipocyte destruction and collagen remodeling, ensuring exceptional results without downtime. Fast, safe, and effective, it's the smart alternative to traditional methods like laser lipolysis.
Here's a closer look at our approach:
- Step 1: Deep Skin Tightening and Fat Reduction with PIANO® Pulse Experience the comfort and efficacy of our PIANO® pulse mode, using extended Nd pulses for deep tissue heating. This technique boosts fat cell metabolism while preserving the skin's surface, resulting in comprehensive tightening and sculpting.
- Step 2: Enhancing Skin Elasticity with SMOOTH® Pulse Smooth out skin laxity with our SMOOTH® pulse mode, employing non-ablative Er technology. This method precisely heats the skin to stimulate collagen production, improving elasticity and enhancing overall skin texture.
In addition to advanced laser treatments, we offer injections of Deoxycholic acid—a natural body substance that aids in fat breakdown during weight loss. Approved by Health Canada, this treatment dissolves fat cells, which are naturally expelled from the body. For optimal results, we recommend a series of 5-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Are the results permanent?
Absolutely! Maintain your weight, avoid significant weight gain, and enjoy long-lasting results.
What about possible side effects?
Minor side effects like swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort around the treatment area are common. These typically subside quickly.
Post-care tips:
- Keep hydrated and drink plenty of water.
- For 24-48 hours post-treatment, avoid alcohol, intense exercise, UV exposure, and high heat environments (like saunas or tanning beds) to minimize swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid certain medications and supplements known to increase bleeding and bruising.
- Apply ice packs as directed to reduce any swelling.
