A double chin is one of the frequently occurring aesthetic conditions. It usually appears in people with overweight, but can also occur in slim individuals without excess fat tissue. The appearance of a “second chin” is most often caused by genetic predispositions, overweight, and loss of skin firmness and slackening. To get rid of this defect, regular exercise is generally recommended, which helps reduce excess fatty tissue. Professional massages are also helpful. Proper skin care is essential as well. But what if these methods do not work? Discover aesthetic medicine treatments that help fight the double chin!
Double chin – causes
A double chin occurs in both women and men. It is an aesthetic defect that alters the shape of the face and visually “adds years.” The direct cause of a double chin is the accumulation of excess fat tissue in the chin area and sagging of the neck skin.
They are most commonly caused by overweight or obesity, which results from a sedentary lifestyle and an improper diet. However, it is worth remembering that a double chin can also occur due to other factors. These include genetic predispositions, poor posture (e.g., hunching or walking with a lowered head causes weakening and sagging of neck muscles). The appearance of a second chin can also be the result of natural biological aging processes. Skin sagging caused by these processes is also accelerated by improper facial skin care. That is why it is so important to maintain proper nutrition and skin protection.
Fat Cryotherapy – what is it?
Fat cryotherapy is a procedure of freezing fat tissue. It is an excellent alternative to liposuction and a true hit among non-invasive methods.
The working mechanism of the fat cryotherapy device is based on controlled freezing of fat and its breakdown under appropriately low temperatures, leading to a reduction in the volume of targeted body areas. The broken-down fat is then naturally excreted.
How does fat freezing work?
The reduction of fat tissue using our device is based on the phenomenon of fat cryotherapy. During the procedure at Fabskin clinic in Warsaw, unnecessary fat cells sensitive to low temperatures are frozen to induce their breakdown. During the fat freezing procedure, fat cells rich in saturated fatty acids are destroyed, while surrounding nerves, blood vessels, and fat cells with lower fat acid content remain unaffected.
Frozen fat cells are gradually eliminated from the body, resulting in a visible reduction in fat tissue. The device is equipped with a double head, allowing the procedure to be performed on a broad area or two areas simultaneously. Procedures can be performed not only on individuals with significant overweight, as the available temperature range allows the procedure even for those with small amounts of fat tissue.
Get rid of double chin with cryolipolysis
The most proven method for treating double chin is procedures performed by specialists in aesthetic medicine clinics. They ensure effective and relatively permanent removal of excess fat tissue, including around the chin. One technique used in reducing double chin is invasive chin liposuction.
However, non-invasive methods are also possible, such as: facial volumetry, HIFU face lift, or SonoQeen.
A versatile treatment that is effective for combatting double chin is cryolipolysis. It uses acoustic waves to reduce fat tissue. The ZLipo cryolipolysis procedure, available at our clinic, involves freezing fat deposits. The frozen cells die and are naturally removed from the body.
This results in a reduction of fat tissue and stimulation of collagen fibers and elastin bonds production. Before each procedure, fat tissue measurement is performed using ultrasound, enabling the specialist to tailor the appropriate therapy. This guarantees the effectiveness of the treatment. The number of sessions depends on the amount of unwanted fat tissue. Results are visible after the first session, with the best results achieved after 2-3 sessions.
Cryolipolysis – a versatile treatment
Thanks to its versatility, cryolipolysis can be used not only to reduce double chin but also for face lifting and cellulite removal. It can also be used for fat reduction on other body parts such as: abdomen, buttocks, hips, arms, back, thighs, or knees. Thanks to the processes employed, the treatment guarantees long-lasting fat reduction in a safe manner.
Although fat cryotherapy effectively helps shape the silhouette, it should be combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise, which not only help maintain proper weight but also promote health and well-being. Combining these three elements will bring the best results.
