A double chin is one of the common aesthetic ailments. It usually occurs in people who are overweight, but it can also occur in slender people who do not have problems with excess body fat. Most often, the occurrence of a „second chin” is caused by genetics, excess weight and loss of skin firmness and sagging. To get rid of this defect, regular exercise is usually recommended to reduce excess body fat. It is also helpful to undergo professional massages. Proper skin care is also essential. However, what if the above methods do not work? Learn about aesthetic medicine treatments that help fight the second chin!
Double chin – causes
Double chin occurs in both men and women. It is an aesthetic defect that changes the shape of the face and visually „adds years”. The immediate cause of the appearance of a double chin is the accumulation of excess fatty tissue in the chin regions and sagging neck skin. They are usually caused by overweight or obesity, which occurs as a result of a sedentary lifestyle and inadequate diet. However, it is worth remembering that a double chin can also occur due to other factors. These include genetic predisposition, improper posture (for example, hunching or walking with the head lowered causes the neck muscles to weaken and become flabby). The appearance of a second chin can also be the result of natural, biological aging processes occurring in our bodies. Skin sagging caused by them is also accelerated by improper facial skin care. That is why it is extremely important to constantly nourish and protect the skin.
Get rid of your double chin with cryolipolysis
In treating double chin, the most proven treatments are those performed by specialists in aesthetic medicine clinics. They guarantee effective and relatively permanent disposal of excess fat, including from the chin area. One of the techniques used to reduce a double chin is invasive liposuction of the chin.
However, non-invasive methods such as facial volumetry, HIFU ultrasound facelift or SonoQeen are also possible. A versatile treatment that is excellent for combating double chins is cryolipolysis. It relies on the use of acoustic waves to accomplish fat reduction. The LZipo cryolipolysis procedure, which is available from our clinic, is performed by freezing fat deposits. Frozen cells die and are physiologically removed from the body. This results in fat reduction and stimulates the production of collagen fibers and elastin bonds. Before each treatment, fat is measured using ultrasound, which allows the specialist to customize the appropriate treatment therapy. This guarantees the effectiveness of the treatment. The number of sessions depends on the amount of unwanted fat. The first effects are visible after the first treatment is performed, and the best results are achieved after 2-3.
Cryolipolysis – a comprehensive treatment
Thanks to its versatile application, cryolipolysis can be used not only for double chin reduction, but also for facelift and cellulite removal. You can also use this technique for fat reduction on other parts of the body, such as the abdomen, buttocks, flanks, arms, back or thighs or knees. Thanks to the processes used, the treatment guarantees permanent fat reduction in a safe manner.
