What Causes a Double Chin?

A double chin is often caused by:

• Genetics

• Fat accumulation under the chin (submental fat)

• Age-related collagen loss

• Loose or sagging skin

• Weak jawline structure

• Posture (affects neck muscles and skin)

• Weight gain or weight fluctuations

Most chin concerns are a combination of fat + loose skin — which is why our clinic uses multiple technologies to address both.

Our Signature 3-Step Double Chin Reduction System

At Vivo Body & Skin Clinic, we design personalised treatment plans using a 3-step approach:

 Step 1 — Chin Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis)

(Internal Link Placeholder: /chin-freezing)

Fat freezing targets and destroys stubborn fat cells under the chin by cooling them to a precise temperature.

Benefits:

✔ 20–40% fat reduction in one session
✔ Permanent fat cell removal
✔ Safe and non-invasive
✔ Ideal for thick or stubborn chin fat

Perfect for clients with a full or heavy lower face.

 Step 2 — HIFU Double Chin Lift

(Internal Link Placeholder: /hifu-facelift)

HIFU uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten:

• Chin skin

• Jawline

• Neck

• Jowls

• SMAS layer

This gives a natural lifting effect without injections.

Benefits:

✔ Sharpens jawline
✔ Lifts sagging skin under the chin
✔ Stimulates collagen & elastin
✔ Long-lasting tightening
✔ Suitable for both men & women

Step 3 — Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening

(Internal Link Placeholder: /radiofrequency-tightening)

RF is used to perfect the result after fat reduction.

Benefits:

✔ Smoothens skin
✔ Tightens laxity
✔ Reduces wrinkles under chin
✔ Enhances chin definition
✔ Ideal after fat freezing or HIFU

Additional Option — Ultrasound Cavitation

Used for soft, stubborn fat that requires further breakdown.

Why Our Approach Works Better Than Single Treatments

Most double chin issues are not just fat and not just loose skin.

By combining:

• Fat Freezing (destroys fat cells)

• HIFU (lifts muscle layer)

• Radio Frequency (tightens skin)

We target all three layers:

1. Surface Skin

2. Fat Layer

3. SMAS Layer

The result?

✔ A defined, sculpted jawline
✔ Slimmer profile
✔ Tighter skin under the chin
✔ Fresher, younger lower-face appearance
