The double chin is a common condition that many people dislike about their appearance. No matter how hard you try, that irritating portion of skin and fat may seem permanent with no hope of disappearing. 

Luckily, there are some measures you can take to get rid of your double chin once and for all. Trust the experts at Medical Aesthetics & Laser in The Woodlands to guide you through the process. 

WHAT CAUSES A DOUBLE CHIN?

Learning how to get rid of a double chin means understanding what causes this extra fat to appear. A variety of factors may cause the development of fat under your chin:

  • Age

As we get older, our skin sags and the elasticity fades. This can result in the formation of a double chin that may not have been there earlier.

  • Poor Diet & Exercise

As with many other conditions, a double chin could result from poor diet and exercise habits. Consuming fatty foods and skipping exercise can contribute to the enlargement of fat cells under your chin.

  • Genetics

It’s probably what you don’t want to hear, but if having a double chin runs in the family, there’s a good chance you might have one. Anyone with a family history of double chin appearances is more likely to develop one themselves.

Many of the clients we treat at Medical Aesthetics & Laser want to know how to get rid of double chin. It’s frustrating that the many factors that influence whether we experience a double chin are out of our control. We all age and none of us can control our genetics. 

The good news is there are steps we can take to prevent that annoying fat from bulging underneath your chin!

  • Exercise

Not only does exercise contribute to a healthier lifestyle, but it can also be a great for working towards getting rid of a double chin. 

You can also focus on jaw/chin specific exercises to directly affect the area you want. 

Typical jaw/chin exercises involve relaxing your shoulders and looking up toward the sky while making a kissing face. Chewing gum can even help exercise your chin and jaw!

  • Better diet

Eliminating fatty foods, lowering calorie intake, and drinking plenty of water not only improves your overall health and skin, but can also help improve your chances of getting rid of your double chin. 

  • Kybella®

An easier, faster way to achieve your goals is with a Kybella treatment. Kybella is a minimally invasive approach to remove the stubborn fat underneath your chin. This process involves small injections of deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body, to destroy the fat cells causing your double chin. 

Clients usually go through two to four thirty-minute injection procedures with Kybella. With minimal to no downtime afterwards, Kybella is an efficient and effective way to get rid of your double chin! 

While exercising and eating cleaner may help contribute to the reduction of your double chin, Kybella speeds up the process. 

At Medical Aesthetics & Laser, you can schedule a Kybella consultation to begin your journey to ridding yourself of that pesky double chin and gain a more youthful appearance!
