Why Do We Get Double Chins?

A double chin (submental fat) is extremely common and can affect people regardless of their overall weight. Common causes include:

Genetics: Some people are predisposed to storing fat under the chin
Weight gain: Excess weight often appears in the face and neck area
Ageing: Skin loses elasticity, causing fat to sag below the jawline
Posture: Poor posture and "tech neck" can weaken chin muscles

The frustrating thing about double chins is that diet and exercise rarely help - this is one of the most stubborn fat deposits on the body.

Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatments

At BB Contouring in Hertfordshire, we offer several effective treatments for double chin reduction:

Laser Lipo for Double Chin

Our most popular chin treatment. Low-level laser energy targets fat cells under the chin, causing them to release their contents for natural elimination.

Sessions: 6-8 treatments

Treatment time: 20-30 minutes

Downtime: None

Results: Visible reduction over course

Fat Freezing (Chin Applicator)

Specialized small applicators freeze fat cells under the chin. The dead cells are naturally eliminated over 8-12 weeks.

Sessions: 1-2 treatments

Treatment time: 35-45 minutes

Downtime: Minimal swelling possible

Results: 20-25% fat reduction

RF Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency energy tightens loose skin under the chin and along the jawline. Often combined with fat reduction for comprehensive results.

Sessions: 4-6 treatments

Treatment time: 20-30 minutes

Downtime: None

Results: Tighter jawline contour

Ultrasonic Cavitation

High-frequency ultrasound waves break down fat cells under the chin. Works well for larger areas of submental fat.

Sessions: 6-8 treatments

Treatment time: 15-20 minutes

Downtime: None

Results: Progressive reduction
