A double chin can be one of the most stubborn features to treat, especially if you already lead a healthy lifestyle. Whether it’s due to genetics, age, or weight fluctuations, that soft layer of fat beneath your chin often lingers despite diet and exercise. This excess submental fat can affect your profile, reduce facial definition, and make you appear older or heavier than you feel. Traditional methods like cardio or targeted workouts rarely solve the issue completely.

At Renew Med Spa in Waxhaw, we offer advanced, non-surgical solutions to help you contour your jawline without invasive procedures. Two of the most effective treatments available today are Kybella and CoolSculpting. Each works differently but shares the same goal: to reduce unwanted fat under the chin and reveal a more sculpted, youthful appearance.

Treating a Double Chin with Kybella

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable formulated to break down submental fat, which causes a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps metabolize dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, Kybella helps permanently destroy fat cells, which are then gradually eliminated by your body’s natural processes.

Most patients require a series of treatments, typically spaced about a month apart, to achieve optimal results. Over time, you’ll begin to notice a more contoured neck and jawline as the fat volume reduces. Because Kybella permanently eliminates fat cells in the treated area, the results are long-lasting as long as you maintain your weight.

Benefits of Treating a Double Chin with Kybella:

  • Minimally invasive with no surgery or anesthesia
  • Gradual fat reduction for a natural-looking result
  • Permanently destroys fat cells
  • Improves contour and jawline definition
  • Suitable for small to moderate fat pockets
  • Little to no downtime after treatment

Treating a Double Chin with CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses controlled cooling technology to freeze and eliminate fat cells. It targets only fat cells without damaging the surrounding skin or tissue. For the double chin, a specialized applicator is used to gently suction and cool the area, triggering the death of fat cells. Your body then processes and removes these fat cells.

Most patients see noticeable improvement after one or two sessions, though results continue to develop over time. CoolSculpting is ideal for individuals with pinchable submental fat who want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. At Renew Med Spa, our team of experienced providers uses CoolSculpting Elite, the latest version of the technology, for faster treatments.

Benefits of Treating a Double Chin with CoolSculpting:

  • Completely non-invasive with no needles or incisions
  • Precise targeting of stubborn fat under the chin
  • Natural, gradual fat reduction over time
  • No downtime or recovery period
  • Suitable for those with mild to moderate fat
  • Can be combined with other contouring treatments

Combine the Effects of Kybella and CoolSculpting

While Kybella and CoolSculpting are both excellent standalone options for treating a double chin, some patients benefit from combining the two. CoolSculpting can be used first to reduce bulkier fat deposits, followed by Kybella to fine-tune and contour smaller pockets that remain. This dual approach allows for enhanced precision and more dramatic results.

At Renew Med Spa, our expert team will assess your unique facial structure and goals to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Whether you choose Kybella, CoolSculpting, or a combination of both, we ensure safe and satisfying results. With cutting-edge technology and a patient-centered approach, we make it easier than ever to eliminate your double chin.
