How to Reduce a Double Chin: Top Tips for Effective Double Chin Removal

A double chin may not be something you notice at all times, but whenever you look in the mirror or have your photograph taken, you’ll definitely be able to see if you have one. Double chins aren’t dangerous or inhibiting, but they can make you feel self-conscious about your face. If this is the case for you, then don’t worry–there are a few different options available.

Double chins can have their appearance lessened or even be entirely removed by professional body sculptors, like those from Bimini Body. We offer a range of different treatments for double chins that we think you should know about.

Let’s explore the different treatments you can access at our body sculpting clinic now!

How are Double Chins Formed?

Double chins can form for a variety of reasons.

1. You are overweight. Excess fat around your face and neck can contribute to a double chin. You may also naturally carry fat around your face, so people in a healthy weight range can still have double chins.

2. You have loose skin underneath your chin. This can be from very fast weight loss or ageing. There may not actually be fat here, but the saggy skin can still sit similarly to how a double chin looks.

3. You have a short jawline. If your jaw isn’t long or doesn’t stick out much, skin can bundle underneath your chin easily.

4. You have poor posture. Constantly looking down at your phone, or even just sitting incorrectly, can weaken the muscles around your neck and cause the skin in this area to sag, looking like a double chin.

But don’t worry–our treatments can target and decrease the look of your double chin, no matter how it has been formed.

Can I Reduce the Appearance of My Double Chin on My Own?

If your double chin has formed from weight gain, then choosing sustainable and healthy methods to lose the weight can help make your double chin disappear. This can include:

1. Eating healthier food. Look for whole foods that aren’t processed, like vegetables, fruits high in fibre, lean meats and healthy grains. Avoid very sugary foods or foods high in saturated fats, as your body will store the excess from these in areas around your body, including under your chin!
2. Eating smaller portions of food. You may eat healthily, but you can still gain weight from eating too much. Your body only has so much storage space, and it will store excess energy as fat if it has to.
3. Drinking water. Thirsty? Avoid soft drinks, juices and alcoholic beverages and reach for water instead. Water won’t cause you to gain weight, but your favourite cocktail or fizzy drink? Full of sugar that your body doesn’t need!
4. Exercising more. You can’t target areas of your body to lose weight (i.e. doing specialised chin exercises won’t help you lose fat from a specific area in your chin), but when combined with healthy eating, frequent exercise can help you lose weight across your body, including around your face.

Watch out for specialised tools, oils, and other home remedies you might see advertised on the internet. Rubbing your double chin with a roller or doing one hundred chin tucks a night won’t help–it’ll just hurt your wallet, and possibly your neck.

Double Chin Removal: How Bimini Body Can Help

Here at Bimini Body, we want our customers to leave our clinic feeling great about themselves. That’s why we offer a fantastic range of different treatments you can utilise to help with your double chin. No matter how it’s been formed, we can help with your double chin removal!

Here are some of the ways our body sculpting clinic can treat your double chin.

CoolSculpting and CoolSlimming

This amazing treatment can safely freeze and destroy the fat that is causing your double chin. Known scientifically as cryolipolysis, this method of chin fat freezing is safe, effective and non-invasive. Fat cells cannot handle cold temperatures as well as your skin and muscle cells do. This is how, using the perfect temperature, we can target these fat cells without harming the healthy ones around them.

Once you have gone through our free body contouring consultation and we have determined that cryolipolysis fat freezing is the best method, here is how the process will happen. You will be lying down comfortably for the duration of your double chin removal session.

1. A gel pad and applicator tool will be applied underneath your chin.

2. The applicator will cool the fat cells in your chin to temperatures ranging between 0℃ to -11℃, depending on how much needs to be removed. This process usually only takes about 20 minutes for chin fat freezing.

3. Once crystallised, your body will remove the dead fat cells on its own over the next 3-12 weeks through your lymphatic system.

4. Dead fat cells won’t ever return, but if you lead an unhealthy lifestyle, new fat cells can form in their place. Make sure to eat well and exercise to keep your chin looking its sculpted best!

You may need up to three sessions for the best chin fat freezing results, but again, this will depend on how much fat you need to remove.

This painless procedure won’t leave a mark, although some patients may experience some slight numbness and bruising after treatment.

Skin Tightening

If your double chin is caused by a bit of loose skin rather than fat, then tightening this area up using Alma Accent Prime might be your best bet. This treatment combines two different techniques:

• Ultrasound waves to penetrate deep into your skin.
• Radiofrequency energy to target the surface of your skin. 

The heat generated by these combined techniques can stimulate the production of elastin and collagen, both of which are known to play a part in the firmness and elasticity of your skin. After a few treatments, you can expect to see a difference in your skin.

Not only can this treatment assist with saggy skin, but it also lessens the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, too! Your entire face can be transformed using this treatment, leading to glowing, tighter skin that you’ll love to show off.
