WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF A DOUBLE CHIN?

It’s important to understand that a double chin isn’t caused by one factor alone. A range of different contributing factors can determine whether an individual experiences a double chin, and excess weight isn’t always one of them. Here are some of the known causes of excess fat under the chin: Age – As a person ages, the skin’s production of collagen drops, making the skin looser and more elastic. This can lead to sagging skin under the chin, which results in the appearance of a double chin. Family history – Some people have a genetic cause for their double chin. If you have a family history of under chin fat, you could be at greater risk. Volume loss – Structure and volume loss can occur due to ageing and weight loss. Individually or combined with other factors, this can cause a double chin. Excess weight – While weight isn’t always a factor, a double chin is more likely to occur in those carrying excess weight. This is a common cause for double chins in younger people.

Double Chin Fat Freezing

The under chin area is one of the most common places for excess fat to appear. Also known as a double chin, excess fat under the chin is a common concern for both men and women, and it can have a wide range of causes. At The Greville Clinic, we offer double chin fat freezing treatment to help reduce the appearance of under chin fat.

Fat freezing, also known as cryolipolysis, is a non-invasive body contouring procedure designed to reduce localized fat deposits. The technique involves the application of controlled cooling to specific areas of the body, targeting fat cells without affecting the surrounding tissues. During a typical session, applicators are placed on the skin over the area to be treated, and the device cools the underlying fat cells to a temperature that triggers apoptosis, or controlled cell death. Over the following weeks, the body naturally metabolizes and eliminates these dead fat cells, resulting in a gradual reduction of fat in the treated area. Fat freezing is commonly used on areas such as the abdomen, flanks (love handles), thighs, and under the chin. Patients can often resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Get Rid of Excess Under Chin Fat with Double Chin Fat Freezing

Fat freezing is an effective non-invasive treatment that can target excess skin under the chin, helping to reduce the appearance of a double chin. Also known as Cryolipolysis, fat freezing works by using medical grade freezing technology to expose fat cells to up to -10 degree temperatures, which results in cell death (apoptosis). The cells are then eliminated from the body by the lymphatic system. This has a toning and sculpting effect, reducing fat in the area to minimise the appearance of a double chin.

Providing a safer alternative to surgery, double chin fat freezing requires no downtime and is capable of achieving permanent fat reduction.

Fat freezing for a double chin works by using controlled cooling to target and eliminate fat cells beneath the skin. During the procedure, a special device is applied to the area to freeze fat cells. This freezing process causes the fat cells to undergo apoptosis, also known as cell death. Over the following weeks, the body gradually eliminates these damaged fat cells through its natural metabolic processes. The result is a reduction in fat volume and a more contoured chin area.

Results can start to be seen as soon as 2 weeks after treatment, but improvements can be noticed for up to 12 weeks. Results can vary depending on the individual, which is why we recommend discussing your desired results with our staff during your initial consultation. 1 to 3 sessions are typically recommended for double chin fat freezing, with each session spaced 6 weeks apart.
