If you have loose skin around your neck or a little extra fat underneath your chin, you may feel like there’s nothing you can do. The good news is that there are many non-surgical options you can consider to rejuvenate these areas.
From skin tightening procedures to freezing stubborn fat, we’ve compiled a few treatment options that can result in a slimmer, younger-looking profile. Let’s explore the best ways to lose neck fat and tighten skin.
What Causes Neck Fat And Loose Skin?
Neck fat, loose skin, and a double chin can result from a combination of the following factors:
Aging: As you age, the production of collagen and elastin in your skin declines, causing it to lose its elasticity. When this happens, your skin is more likely to sag in the neck.
Genetics: Through no fault of your own, you could have inherited genes that cause you to be more prone to having neck fat. Your genetic makeup may contribute to a double chin, even if you aren’t overweight.
Weight Changes: Gaining weight could cause you to store more fat in the neck and chin. Losing weight can lead to sagging skin in this area, especially if you lose a lot of weight rapidly.
Fortunately, no matter what has caused your skin laxity or fat underneath the chin, many treatments can contour this area without surgery.
Non-Surgical Treatments To Tighten Double Chin
There are many non-surgical treatments to tighten loose neck skin and reduce fat under your chin. However, each one works differently. Here are some options for you to explore, so you can find the best treatment.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that tightens and lifts the skin. It works by using ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production. As collagen increases, it firms and tightens the skin while fading fine lines and wrinkles. It’s a highly customizable treatment that can address mild to moderate skin laxity under the chin with little to no downtime. While this is a great option for tightening the skin, Ultherapy cannot treat stubborn fat deposits.
Kybella
Kybella is a minimally invasive, FDA-approved procedure that reduces the appearance of a double chin with injections. It contains deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule in the body. With strategically placed injections, this molecule can break down and destroy fat cells, slimming the neck and jawline. While this procedure is safe and effective, it usually takes 2-4 sessions spaced about a month apart. This option may not be ideal for you if you want a neck tightening procedure or double chin removal without any injections.
EMFace Submentum
EMFace Submentum is a non-invasive procedure that treats a double chin by targeting the fat underneath it. This treatment works by using a combination of radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and high-intensity facial electromagnetic stimulation (HIFES) to strengthen facial muscles. It induces contractions to tone and reduce fat in this area, leading to a slimmer profile. During treatment, it’s normal to feel tingling and warming sensations, but many people don’t consider it painful. Usually, a series of four sessions spaced one week apart is recommended for optimal results.
Though it’s a great option for slimming the neck, chin, and jawline, there’s another non-invasive procedure that stands out as the better choice for significant fat reduction.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting is a non-invasive procedure that uses controlled cooling technology to eliminate stubborn pockets of fat from the body. The FDA has cleared this procedure to safely treat nine areas of the body, including under the chin and jawline. This highly customizable treatment works by freezing and crystallizing fat cells. After treatment, your body will naturally eliminate these dead cells through its lymphatic system. As a result, these cells are permanently destroyed and cannot grow back.
Whether you’re curious about CoolSculpting for double chin or CoolSculpting neck fat, this treatment can also reduce skin laxity without surgery, needles, or downtime.
