Ever taken a selfie and noticed that annoying little section of fat under your chin that kills your sharp jawline? Accumulation of excess fat under the chin a.k.a. a double chin can affect people of all ages.
There is no exercise that specifically targets the neck muscles and you can’t really run cardio exercises with your chin. Dieting and exercise affect your whole body and may result in desirable weight loss and body contouring, but it is still hard to target the area under the chin.
A double chin is one of those aesthetic concerns that women and men all over the world seem to struggle with. While some may have a face shape that makes it appear like they have two chins, others may struggle with having excessive fat around the jaw area or have sagging skin due to age.
Here, we decode all the skincare treatments that you have available to you to treat a double chin.
Double chins need both fat loss and tightening for the best possible results.
What is a double chin?
A double chin, also known as submental fat, occurs when there is an extra layer of fat around the chin area or when your skin loses elasticity around the jawline, causing it to sag and appear as a second chin.
Causes
Some of the most common causes of a double chin include:
- Weight gain or obesity
- Genetics
- Skin aging
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Underlying health conditions such as thyroid, high cortisol levels or kidney trouble
Natural ways to reduce your double chin
Before you dive into in-clinic treatments, it could be worth it to consider natural ways and lifestyle changes that can help you treat your double chin.
Diet
If your double chin is caused due to weight gain or long term obesity, altering your diet is a great first step to help reduce it. While losing weight and getting healthier doesn’t guarantee a complete reduction of your double chin, it is the first thing you should consider to improve your overall health as well.
Get in touch with a nutritionist if you need the assistance and devise a nutrition plan with them that will help you lose the excess fat that your body has been storing. A diet rich in protein, with just enough carbs and fats, also consisting of your daily required servings of fruits and vegetables is the ideal way to get healthier.
Ensure you’re drinking enough water and getting at least 30 minutes of exercise everyday to keep your body moving and supplement your healthy diet plan. Losing fat all over will also reduce the fat around your face, giving it more definition and reducing your double chin.
Exercise
While there aren’t too many exercises made to target the jaw and neck area, including exercise as part of your daily routine with a mix of cardio and strength training can help contour your body on the whole.
You can also make sure to include 10-15 minutes of jaw and neck exercises, along with using facial tools such as a gua sha stone, face roller or kansa wand to tone the skin in the area and increase collagen production.
Make sure you always massage your skin in an upward and outward motion to reduce sagging and help reduce fat in the area.

Try it if: You need to tackle excess fat on the double chin
Kybella injections are made to tackle that excessive stubborn fat on the double chin that suddenly pops up in your photos. We all love a chiselled jawline for the perfect aesthetics and a double chin can dampen the aspiration.
These FDA-approved injections are packed with the power of fat-lysing actives and are placed in the double chin area about 1cm apart for efficacious results.
It’s one of the most popular double chin-fighting techniques in the West, and works as a great addition to other fat busting treatments as well.
Preparing for Geolysis (or Kybella)
We recommend that you inform your aesthetician of any medication you may be on to ensure that they won’t interfere with your Kybella treatment.
Discontinue the usage and consumption of blood thinners or any fatty acids such as flax or cod liver oil or vitamins A and E for 3 days to a week before and after the treatment to minimise bruising and to allow the area to heal well.
Avoid consuming alcohol, caffeine, foods with refined sugar, excess salt or spices for 24-48 hours before and after the treatment as well.
This is a non-surgical technique which consists of injecting the fat beneath the chin using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid (a natural bile acid that is produced by your body to absorb fat) injections to target fat cells.
Each treatment takes about 15-20 minutes to administer with almost no downtime. The area is marked, then numbed with a topical cream or an ice pack before finally injecting it.
Target areas
Kybella targets the fat cells around your jawline and the upper area of your neck to reduce fat there and tighten your skin in the process, minimising your double chin.
You will require 2-4 sessions, spaced 1-3 months apart to see results. This is because the results of each treatment take 2-3 months to appear and we can then go ahead and customise your next treatment based on your needs.
There are no side effects for this non-surgical procedure. However, it is still essential that you inform your dermatologist about any previous facial treatments you may have gotten in the recent past or surgical treatments, even if they may have been a few years old.
The treatment is absolutely safe but rarely can cause mild numbness in area, and rarely a tiny scar or infection which is usually treatable
You can have redness, swelling and bruising in the area for about 7-10 days, so avoid doing this right before an event. Give your skin enough time to heal for best results.
Best candidate for Kybella
If you’re dealing with a double chin that doesn’t seem to leave even after you’ve lost significant amounts of fat overall with diet and exercise, it’s worth it to give Kybella a shot to make those fat cells burn.
If you have aged skin that is stubborn and your double chin has shown no sign of budging for years, Kybella may not be the best treatment for you—then you must try SculpSure.
If you are scheduled for facial surgery or any kind or are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not sign up for Kybella.
If you have excessively sagging skin then you may want to consider skin tightening or surgical procedure for tightening. Also if the fat is stubborn, you may need more sessions or you can consider a surgical intervention to permanently remove the fat but the side effects are higher with the surgery.

SculpSure
SculpSure is one of the most advanced fat reduction techniques that uses a laser to target and melt fat cells by exposing them to high temperature heat. The body gradually disposes these off, providing noticeable changes in just 6-12 weeks.
Since the under chin area is super curvy, the applicator is designed specifically to fit under the chin. In addition to fat reduction, the heating process of SculpSure stimulates an increase in collagen production in the skin, increasing lift and firmness in the treated area so you look more toned as well.
It’s approved by the FDA in 2015 and has quickly become one of the most trusted treatments worldwide, offering permanent results and a 93% satisfaction rate for the double chin.
SculpSure is a type of lipolysis wherein the laser melts fat cells. After the area along your jawline is marked, a belt is wrapped around your face and the laser attachment is secured in to treat the area. The laser then starts to heat the fat cells there with a mix of hot and cold shots. The procedure isn’t painful or uncomfortable.
Target areas
Like Kybella, SculpSure also targets the fat cells around your jawline and the upper area of your neck to reduce fat there, in this case by burning the fat cells using laser, and minimising your double chin. SculpSure, however, can also be used on other areas of the body to target stubborn fat cells.
You can treat your double chin with SculpSure in just 25 minutes in 2-3 sessions. Results begin to show in 1-3 months as the fat cells filter out.
It is important to note that you can still gain weight and see those fat deposits return, so you must follow the correct diet and lifestyle and return for additional sessions when necessary.
There’s no downtime or post-care required, but sometimes mild redness and tenderness may occur. But normally, you can go straight to work right after.
While you may sense some tingling during the treatment, you don’t require any anesthesia or numbing cream for this procedure. Make sure you understand that the treatment does take about 3 months to show full effect and it isn’t a treatment you sign up for even a month before an event that you’re prepping for.
Best candidate for SculpSure
SculpSure is a great treatment for stubborn fat cells that don’t seem to budge with temporary facial treatments or even Kybella. If excessive fat in the area is your concern, SculpSure will definitely sort
If you’re developing a double chin due to skin aging, treatments that focus on collagen production and skin tightening can help you more than SculpSure will. However, you do need to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to ensure that you do not have fat deposits in the area once again.

Double Chin Reduction FAQs
If your double chin is caused due to a reason apart from stubborn fat deposits or sagging skin, you should consult with your dermatologist about considering surgery to treat a double chin.
If you have sagging skin that hasn’t been treated for a long time and cannot be treated using non-invasive treatments alone, your aesthetician may recommend surgery. Also, if you’d simply like a permanent solution to your double chin, surgical treatments like liposuction or a neck lift surgery can help treat it.
The most important differences between surgical and non-surgical treatments include:
- Surgical treatments will deliver permanent results that are irreversible in most cases. Non-surgical treatments can last between a few months to a couple of years depending on the number of sessions you’ve signed up for.
- Surgical treatments require lesser sessions to show results in comparison to the non-surgical kind. However, they are also more expensive than the latter and require you to pay a larger sum at once to go through with them.
- Non-surgical treatments can easily treat excess fat that’s causing your double chin or loose skin that’s recently developed in the area. However, if you have stubborn skin that’s lost elasticity to a great degree, the surgical route may be your only option.
- A surgery has a lot more risk and side effects can rarely be not treatable without a repeat surgery, anesthesia also has its own risk.
If you’re developing a double chin due to skin aging, treatments that focus on collagen production and skin tightening can help you more than SculpSure will. However, you do need to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to ensure that you do not have fat deposits in the area once again.
