Double Chin

1. How to Get Rid of Double Chin in Toronto? 

There are several available options to eliminate a double chin in Toronto.

1. Non-surgical Double Chin treatment: Combination of Radiofrequency technology and Infusion - delivers lipolytic into the skin without the need for needles. Radiofrequency is famous for fat removal and skin tightening, while Infusion is a booster for fat reduction. Six treatments, two weeks apart, are recommended. The results are noticeable in 83% of cases after the first treatment.
2. Belkyra injections: An injectable treatment that requires 3-6 sessions 4-6 weeks apart.
3. Microneedling RF for jowls and double chin, where the appearance of the double chin is primarily due to the skin. Four treatments, one month apart, are recommended.
4. Nefertiti Lift Botox for jowls.
5. Jawline Fillers: Injectables of hyaluronic acid dermal filler are used to elongate and improve the jawline.

2. What Causes Double Chin?

A double chin can be caused by two main factors: loose skin or an accumulation of excess fat cells. Identifying the underlying cause of the double chin is crucial to determine the best treatment approach.

For those with loose skin and jawline fat accumulation, non-surgical treatments like radiofrequency skin tightening, RF microneedling, and Belkyra injections may effectively reduce the appearance of a double chin.
Radiofrequency skin tightening uses heat energy to stimulate collagen production, which can help tighten and firm up loose skin. RF microneedling, on the other hand, combines radiofrequency with microneedling to stimulate collagen production. Belkyra injections contain a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which can help break down and absorb fat cells, leading to a slimmer appearance.

It is essential to consult with a medical professional to determine the best course of treatment for each individual, as the most effective approach will depend on factors such as the severity of the double chin and the patient's overall health.

3. Is a Double Chin Fat Permanent?

Having a double chin can be an aesthetic concern for some individuals, but it can also be a sign of excess weight. Weight gain is one of the primary causes of a double chin. When you gain weight, your body tends to store fat in different areas, including the face, which can lead to the appearance of a double chin.
A double chin is only sometimes caused by excess weight. It is commonly known as submental fat, a fat layer below the chin. Although weight gain is a primary cause of double chin, it is not the only one. Losing weight may help eliminate it, but there are other ways to address it: RF skin tightening for double chin removal or microneedling RF.

5. Why Am I Skinny but Have a Double Chin?

Many people who have a slim physique still have to deal with the issue of a double chin. This phenomenon occurs when the body stores extra fat around the jawline, which is determined by jawline muscle anatomy and jawline bone structure.

Moreover, despite being skinny, aging and poor posture can also contribute to developing a double chin. Our skin loses elasticity and collagen as we age, making the skin around the jawline sag. Poor posture can also weaken the muscles in the neck, making it challenging to maintain a toned and defined jawline.

Therefore, getting rid of a double chin requires a multi-faceted approach. RF skin tightening can reduce chin fat and sagging skin to achieve a more sculpted, defined jawline.

6. Do Double Chins Get Worse With Age?

As we age, our face and jaw undergo several changes that can affect our appearance and facial structure. One of the most common changes is the loss of bone density in the jaw, leading to a less defined jawline and a more rounded or sagging appearance. Additionally, the natural aging process can result in the loss of collagen and elastin, making the skin less firm and elastic, causing jowls or a "double chin" effect. The loss of muscle tone is another change that can weaken the jawline and reduce profile definition. The accumulation of fat deposits in the lower face and neck can also contribute to a less youthful appearance of the jaw. Lastly, the effects of gravity over time can cause the skin and soft tissues of the jaw to descend, resulting in a less defined jawline.

7.What Is the Best Double Chin Reducer?

If you're looking to reduce double chin fat, there are several options, such as RF technology, Kybella, or Belkyra, and liposuction. Liposuction is the recommended approach for significant fat reduction. However, if you prefer non-surgical alternatives to improve the appearance of a double chin, radiofrequency and Kybella are both effective options.

8. Why Is It Challenging to Lose Chin Fat?

The fat stored under your chin could be due to genetics, aging, or past weight gain. A few different factors can cause a double chin. Genetics play a role, as some people are born with more support under their jawline than others. It can result in a hereditary double chin. As we age, the support under the jaw weakens, and gravity can add to the appearance of a double chin, especially during menopause. Additionally, weight gain can cause excess fat to be stored in certain areas of the body, like under the chin. Genetics, aging, and weight gain can make getting rid of a double chin difficult. Overall, a double chin is hard to eliminate due to the area's specific anatomy and the effects of aging and weight gain on it.

9. What Causes Permanent Double Chin?

Stubborn fat in the chin area is difficult to lose because the number of fat cells in that area remains the same throughout life, regardless of weight changes. It means that even if you lose weight, you'll still have the same fat cells on your chin. As a result, it's challenging to get rid of excess fat in this area through diet and exercise alone. Medical procedures like RF skin tightening or Belkyara/Kybella injections may be necessary to remove chin fat.

10. Can Kybella Effectively Eliminate a DoubleChin?

Kybella is primarily employed to address the issue of double chins, also known as submental fat or fullness. While specific individuals may be able to diminish their double chins through exercise and dietary changes, others may have a genetic predisposition to this condition. In such cases, considering Kybella as a solution to reduce your double chin could be a viable option.

11. How Can I Eliminate My Double Chin After Reaching the Age of 50?

If you have a double chin, there are different ways to address it. These methods include radiofrequency skin tightening, microneedling RF, Nefertiti lift Botox or dermal filler injections. However, if you're over 50, a double chin is not just due to fat accumulation in the jawline area but also aging changes in bones, muscles, ligaments, and skin. In such cases, restoring the face structure using dermal filler and Botox may be the first step to removing the double chin. If you're not ready for injections, consider microneedling RF as an alternative.

12. Is It Possible to Tighten a Sagging Neck Without Resorting to Surgical Procedures?

Non-surgical treatments are available for a sagging neck. These treatments include anti-aging techniques such as Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening, fat removal technology, and Microneedling RF for skin tightening. In addition to these technologies, injections of Botox and dermal fillers can also help to tighten the sagging neck.

13. How Much Weight Should Be Lost to Eliminate a Double Chin?

For some individuals, losing between 10 to 20 pounds can significantly impact the appearance of a double chin. By losing weight, the amount of fat under the chin can decrease, reducing the appearance of a double chin. 

14. How Can One Effectively Eliminate Saggy Jowls and a Turkey Neck?

As we age, the skin and tissues in our lower face lose elasticity, which can cause sagging and the formation of jowls. Fortunately, there are several medical options available to address this concern. Dermal filler injections, such as hyaluronic acid fillers, can provide the fastest solution by restructuring the face and reducing sagging. Radiofrequency skin tightening is another option to break down fat cells and tighten the skin in the jowl area, resulting in a more defined jawline. Facials can be effective for those who prefer less invasive options. A lymphatic drainage facial massage for the face, neck, and décolletage can effectively eliminate saggy jowls.

15. Why Does a Double Chin Persist Even After Losing 20 Pounds?

Excess fat under the chin can be caused by various factors such as genetics, aging, and previous weight gain. Shedding fat in this area can be difficult despite maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Genetics can influence the amount of support under the jawline, leading to a hereditary double chin. As we age, the support weakens, while gravity causes the appearance of a double chin, especially during menopause. Gaining weight can also contribute to storing excess fat under the chin. The specific anatomy of the area and the effects of aging and weight gain make it challenging to get rid of a double chin despite significant weight loss.

16. Does Belkyra Really Work?

The number of Belkyra™ treatments needed for double chin fat dissolving depends on the amount of fat in the targeted area. Typically, patients require 3-6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with the visible result of double chin removal after 2 to 4 sessions. The results of Belkyra™ are long-lasting, except in cases of excessive weight gain post-treatment.

17. What is the cost of Kybella in Canada?

Belkyra treatment cost varies depending on the amount of submental fat you have. Our skin care clinic in Toronto offers Belkyra treatment starting at $600 per session for individuals with minimal submental fat. A Belkyra (Kybella) treatment costs around $1200-$1500.

18. How Painful is the Kybella Treatment?

Kybella injections can be pretty uncomfortable. To minimize pain, the treatment area for the double chin is first numbed with cream and ice. Though the injections are typically not painful, the pH of Belkyra (Kybella) can cause some strange sensations immediately following the injections. It's worth noting that over 90% of people experience bruising after the injections, which can cause some discomfort for up to two weeks post-treatment.

19. What Are the Drawbacks of Kybella?

Kybella injections are generally safe, but they may cause some side effects. The most common ones include pain, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. They go away within 2-3 weeks. However, more severe side effects, such as nerve problems, are possible. If you experience any troubling symptoms after receiving Kybella, consult your healthcare provider immediately. However, be sure these side effects are infrequent and disappear within a maximum of half a year.

20. Why Is My Neck Fat Not Going Away?

It's best to see an esthetic specialist to find out the cause. There are different reasons for stubborn fat, including structural specificity, muscle hyper tone, fluid accumulation, or actual fat. Depending on the cause, different treatments may be recommended. For example, filler injections can help with structural specificity, Botox with muscle hyper tone, lymphatic drainage facial with fluid accumulation, and radiofrequency or Microneedling RF for actual fat removal. Since each individual's protocol for double chin removal is different, it's essential to consult with an experienced specialist first.

21. How Much Does It Cost to Get Rid of a Double Chin in Canada?

Double chin removal and RF skin tightening can range from $200 to $500. Belkyra/Kybella injections cost around $2000 for a series of treatments in Toronto.
