Why Double Chins Develop and Why They're So Stubborn

A double chin, medically known as submental fat, affects people of all ages, body types, and fitness levels. Even individuals who maintain a healthy weight often struggle with excess fat beneath the chin. This stubborn area develops due to genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, and loss of skin elasticity.

Traditional diet and exercise rarely target submental fat effectively, leaving many people frustrated with their profile appearance. The good news? Non-surgical laser chin lipo at BB Contouring in Stevenage offers a proven solution without the risks, costs, or recovery time of surgical procedures.

What is Non-Surgical Chin Lipo?

Non-surgical chin lipolysis uses advanced low-level laser technology to target and reduce fat cells beneath the chin. Unlike invasive surgical liposuction, our laser treatment is completely painless, requires no incisions or anaesthesia, and allows you to return to normal activities immediately.

The laser energy penetrates the skin and creates temporary pores in fat cell membranes, allowing stored fatty acids to escape. Your body then naturally processes and eliminates these released contents through the lymphatic system, resulting in a slimmer, more defined jawline.

The Chin Lipo Treatment Process

Your journey to a defined jawline begins with a free consultation at our Stevenage clinic. During your appointment:

1. Consultation: We assess your chin area and discuss your aesthetic goals
2. Treatment planning: We create a personalised programme, typically 6-8 sessions
3. Preparation: You'll lie comfortably while we position the laser pads
4. Treatment: Relax for 20-30 minutes as the lasers work their magic
5. Post-treatment: Walk out immediately with no restrictions

Most clients describe the sensation as warm and soothing, similar to a gentle massage. Many use the time to catch up on emails, read, or simply relax.

Expected Results and Timeline

While individual results vary, most clients notice visible improvements after 2-3 sessions. Optimal results typically appear after completing a full course of 6-8 treatments spaced 1-2 weeks apart.

You can expect:

• Reduced submental fat volume
• More defined jawline and chin contour
• Improved profile appearance
• Enhanced facial proportions
• Increased confidence in photos and social situations
