Double-Chin: Causes, Reduction Treatments & Jawline Contouring
Eliminate your double-chin with expert treatments at Hampstead Aesthetics. Discover the causes and best non-surgical options for a sculpted jawline.
Understanding Double-Chin
A double-chin can subtly alter the shape of your lower face, affecting your profile and confidence. At Hampstead Aesthetics in West Hampstead, we specialise in non-surgical solutions to reduce submental fullness and enhance jawline definition.
Whether caused by genetics, ageing, or weight gain, we offer proven treatments to contour the area naturally and effectively.
What is a Double-Chin?
A double-chin, also known as submental fat, is the accumulation of fat beneath the chin and jawline. It can be due to excess weight, ageing, or simply genetic predisposition. Even those with a healthy weight can experience a double-chin, making targeted treatments essential for lasting contour.
Common Causes of a Double-Chin
- Genetics and inherited fat distribution
- Age-related skin laxity and fat accumulation
- Weight fluctuations and excess fat storage
- Poor posture that weakens neck and jaw muscles
Signs and Impact of a Double-Chin
- A rounded or softened jawline
- Excess fullness under the chin
- Reduced profile definition in photos and mirrors
- Feeling self-conscious despite a healthy weight
Prevention Tips to Reduce or Delay a Double-Chin
While not all causes are avoidable, these tips may help minimise or prevent a double-chin:
- Maintain a stable weight through balanced nutrition
- Practice posture awareness to avoid neck muscle weakening
- Perform jaw and neck toning exercises
- Use firming skincare products that promote elasticity
Best Double-Chin Treatments at Hampstead Aesthetics
We offer a range of non-surgical treatments designed to target submental fat and lift the lower face. All treatments are personalised by Dr Chike and performed at our West Hampstead clinic with safety, comfort, and natural-looking results in mind.
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening for Double-Chin
RF energy is used to heat the deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen and tightening the area beneath the chin. It’s ideal for mild to moderate double-chin concerns and improves skin firmness gradually.
HIFU
HIFU targets deeper layers of skin and fat to lift and tighten without surgery. It’s effective for reshaping the jawline and reducing the appearance of a double-chin with no downtime.
Injectable Fat Dissolvers for Double-Chin
These non-surgical injections break down stubborn fat cells beneath the chin. Over a series of treatments, they permanently reduce the double-chin and improve contour without the need for surgery.
Dermal Fillers for Jawline Contouring
While not directly reducing fat, dermal fillers are often used alongside other treatments to enhance jawline structure and sharpen the definition that offsets a double-chin appearance.
Combination Treatments
We frequently combine HIFU, RF, and injectable treatments to address fat, skin laxity, and structural imbalance in one comprehensive plan. Your personalised programme is crafted following an in-depth consultation.
