Let’s admit it: a double chin is unsightly. In aesthetic clinics in Singapore, a double chin removal treatment is a popular request. A smooth jawline is a tremendously beautiful trait that a lot of people in Singapore want.
What Is The Cause Of A Double Chin?
Did you know that there are various reasons of double chins? Are you also aware that in order for the double chin procedure to be successful, it must address the reasons of the double chin? Are you also aware that an effective double chin procedure resulted in visible benefits after just a single session? That is, assuming the treatment was performed by a well-trained, competent doctor and, of course, if you’ve kept a healthy lifestyle. A double chin could occur for a variety of reasons, the most frequent of which are discussed on this page. A double chin is often unavoidable, particularly if it runs in the family or is inborn. To comprehend why or how something occurs, continue reading for a more complete explanation of each factor.
Age
As we age, the skin beneath your chin and around your neck loses collagen, making it sag and form numerous wrinkles (the skin seems to sag). A pinch test is a rough measure of the suppleness of the skin behind your chin. If you can pinch lots of skin beneath your chin, this indicates the collagen fibers and elasticity has been lost.
Genetics
Some are naturally inclined to have excessive submental fat (region beneath the chin). Even though the entire body seems slender, genetics might make the face seem round. Just as some are genetically predisposed to store more fat in our thighs, others store more in our torso.
Posture
Bad posture might accentuate the double chin. When flexing your neck (let your chin go in toward your throat), the skin and excess fat would frequently fold more. This is frequently related to bad upper back posture. (Letting your shoulders sag forward) Posture problems are simple to correct. Remember to arch the upper back and bring the shoulder blades together.
Extra Fat
When we put on too much weight, the fat layer beneath our chin (aka. the submental region) expands and thickens. The jaw’s definition is blunted, making the borders between the neck and the jaw ambiguous. The opposite is also true. Once we lose weight, our neck, face, and submental region shrink. That’s why we recommend our clients with a high BMI to reduce weight along with their double chin treatment.
Gaining weight is another prevalent cause of double chin, particularly in adults. Even at a pretty young age, losing weight behind the double chin might be difficult. Sagging skin could occur when an individual loses a significant amount of weight in a relatively short time. Aesthetic clinics frequently provide neck skin elevating treatments like BTX, facelift, and thread lifts, aside from fat reduction or melting procedures.
Treatments for Double Chin Removal
Thermage
With Thermage, RF (Radiofrequency) heat is delivered into your skin by a handheld device. This promotes skin collagen production and remodeling. As a result, sagging, loose skin tightens dramatically. Double chins and neck folds are also greatly minimized.
Thread Lift
The newer generation of face threads in Singapore is stronger, capable of lifting double chins and heavier faces. Notwithstanding their strength, these very thin threads can raise the saggy skin and superfluous fats to show the jawline once more. The chin thread lifting procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is generally tolerated by clients. The benefits are quick, and the client can return to work immediately.
HIFU
Another common double chin removal procedure that uses ultrasound radiation is high-intensity Focused Ultrasound or HIFU, which is very popular in Singapore for those searching for a non-surgical solution. HIFU procedure cannot elevate the fat layer’s temperature to cause it to “melt” or coagulate, as Agnes did.
Temperatures of 55 to 60 degrees are usually reached, and collagen is prompted at these temperatures. Instead of fat reduction, the double chin is minimized because of fat contraction caused by more collagen in the layer of fat. Every session with the ultrasound energy-producing collagen procedure produces modest results, which is why numerous sessions are required to achieve your desired outcome.
