The chin area is a zone that, although often underestimated, is of great importance for facial proportions. It is this area that determines whether the oval is distinct, features well-defined, and the neck optically slender. Unfortunately, many people – regardless of age, weight, or lifestyle – struggle with the problem of the so-called "double chin." An additional fold of fat or loose skin in this area causes the face to lose lightness, and the profile becomes heavier and less harmonious.
A double chin can be the result of aging, genetic predispositions, poor posture, but paradoxically, it can also occur in slim individuals. Furthermore, some people even observe a triple chin. This is a problem that does not disappear on its own – it requires precisely tailored therapy based on knowledge of facial anatomy, aging processes, and modern lifting and lipolytic technologies.
At Ambasada Urody Clinic & Spa, we offer a comprehensive approach to correcting the chin – for both women and men. We tailor treatments individually to restore a distinct contour, tension, and youthful appearance to the lower part of the face – without a scalpel and without artificiality.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH A DOUBLE CHIN?
The double chin may result from:
- excess fat tissue in the submental area,
- skin laxity and sagging (related to aging),
- weakening of the platysma muscle,
- poor posture (e.g. prolonged head tilting),
- genetic factors - inherited predisposition to store fat in this area.
In many cases, a combination of these factors is present, which is why a holistic approach and selecting the appropriate technology or manual therapy is crucial.
HOW DO TREATMENTS FOR THE SECOND CHIN WORK?
Depending on the type of issue (fat, sagging, lymphatic edema, muscle aging), we apply various technologies and techniques – always based on an individual patient assessment:
- Injectable lipolysis - dissolving fat cells using preparations based on sodium deoxycholate; a safe, selective, and proven method.
- Radiofrequency (RF) waves - skin tightening and reduction of fat tissue, collagen remodeling, and improvement of tension (e.g. Pixel RF, Viora Reaction, DeAge EX).
- INDIBA® Deep Care Therapy - deep regenerative, metabolic, and drainage stimulation.
- Cryolipolysis of the double chin - precise, controlled cooling of fat cells around the chin area, leading to their natural elimination. Non-invasive procedure effective for excess fat tissue. Modern applicators tailored for small areas (like the double chin) allow safe and painless freezing of fat cells - without damaging the skin and surrounding tissues.
- PDO / PLLA / PCL lifting threads - a technique used for individuals with noticeable sagging and drooping skin under the chin. The threads act as internal scaffolding, lifting tissues, improving facial contours, and stimulating intense collagen production. Immediate lifting effect visible, with the biological effect (skin densification) developing over a few weeks.
- Lifting massages (e.g. Kobido, Hadado, FMT of the face) - manual techniques that improve muscle-fascial tension, enhance lymphatic circulation, and help reduce a delicate double chin in younger patients.
- Microneedle radiofrequency (e.g. DeAge EX) - collagen and elastin remodeling in deeper skin layers, increasing its density and tension.
- SonoQueen (HIFU) - concentrated high-intensity ultrasound waves that act selectively in fat tissue and dermal layers, causing their contraction and lifting.
- Endermology and Icoone® - intense lymphatic drainage and firming of the submental area, especially for tendencies towards edema and loose skin.
Thanks to a wide range of technologies and the experience of our specialists, we can precisely tailor the treatment - to target exactly where the problem begins. In many cases, we combine techniques into individualized therapeutic protocols, guaranteeing the best aesthetic and regenerative outcomes.
WHO ARE CHIN TREATMENTS INTENDED FOR?
We recommend procedures at our clinic to individuals who:
- have noticed the accumulation of fat under the chin,
- have issues with sagging skin on the neck and jawline,
- want to improve the oval shape of their face without surgery,
- feel that their face looks "heavy" or "older,"
- observe a decrease in muscle tone in the lower part of the face and neck,
- wish to counteract the effects of improper posture (smartphone neck),
- require complementary therapy after weight loss, body liposuction, etc.
The procedures are suitable for both women and men - regardless of age.
EFFECTS OF TREATMENTS - NATURAL SLIMMING, LIFTING, AND REJUVENATION
Thanks to the use of modern technologies and manual therapies, we can achieve visible and natural results - after just a few sessions. The effects are gradual and long-lasting, with the skin regaining its youthful appearance without looking overdone. What can you gain?
- Reduction of the double chin - reducing the volume of fat or swelling under the chin, which significantly rejuvenates and slims the face
- Face profile slimming - better proportions between the face, neck, and shoulder line
- Improvement of the face oval - restoration of a clear jawline and natural contour
- Skin lifting without surgery - tightening loose skin, even in challenging cases related to age or weight loss
- Skin firming and densification - rebuilding collagen and elastin in the lower part of the face and neck
- Reduction of lymphatic swellings - improvement in drainage and microcirculation, especially in individuals prone to puffiness in this area
- Activation of neck muscles (platysma) - promoting lifting and tightening of the skin along the chin
- Facial symmetry - correction of minor asymmetries that often become apparent with age
- Visual rejuvenation by several years - the face becomes lighter, slimmer, fresher, and more rested
- "Long neck" effect - optical elongation and slimming of the neck, increasing the attractiveness and elegance of the entire silhouette
The effects are gradually visible - usually, after the first treatment, an improvement in skin tension and firmness appears, while the full result is built over time, as collagen remodeling or fat tissue reduction progresses. In most cases, we recommend a series of treatments (e.g., 3-6 sessions), followed by maintenance treatments every few months.
This is an excellent alternative to surgical liposuction - painless, with no recovery time, and no risks.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR PROCEDURES ON THE SECOND CHIN
Chin sculpting treatments are not recommended in the following cases:
- active infection or inflammatory condition of the skin in the neck and face area,
- pregnancy and breastfeeding (applies to injectable treatments and HIFU),
- cancerous diseases (depending on the method),
- uncontrolled diabetes or autoimmune diseases,
- thrombosis, blood disorders, and tendency to form adhesions,
- presence of a pacemaker (applies to treatments using RF current, INDIBA, etc.).
Before starting the therapy, we always conduct a thorough interview and skin assessment to ensure maximum safety.
AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOUBLE CHIN PROCEDURES
After most chin procedures, you can return to your daily activities - however, to strengthen the effect and avoid complications, it is worthwhile:
- Avoid sauna, tanning beds, and intense physical exertion for 48-72 hours,
- Drink plenty of water - especially after lipolysis and drainage treatments,
- Do not massage or press on the treated area for the first 24 hours (unless otherwise instructed),
- Use regenerative or cooling creams (if recommended by a specialist),
- Maintain proper body posture - also when working on a computer and using a phone.
Consistency in therapy and adherence to recommendations are key to achieving lasting chin lifting and slimming effects.
