Best Treatments For Double Chin

A double chin, or submental fullness, can appear due to genetics, weight gain, or aging—and often doesn’t respond to diet or exercise alone. Even individuals at a healthy weight can struggle with excess fat beneath the chin, creating a less defined jawline. At AlluraDerm MD Med Spa, we offer non-surgical, FDA-approved treatments to eliminate stubborn chin fat and sculpt a more contoured profile with lasting results.

Non-Surgical Double Chin Reduction at AlluraDerm MD Med Spa

At AlluraDerm, we treat double chin concerns using advanced fat-reduction technologies such as KYBELLA® injections and CoolSculpting® Elite.

Each treatment plan is tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals for a naturally sculpted appearance.

Results Timeline – What to Expect from Double Chin Treatments at AlluraDerm

1–3 Days

Immediately after KYBELLA® or CoolSculpting®, you may experience swelling, tenderness, or slight numbness under the chin. These are expected signs that the fat elimination process has begun. There is no significant downtime, though some clients prefer social downtime during this phase.

✓ Fat cell breakdown begins beneath the skin
✓ Treatment zone may feel tighter or fuller temporarily
✓ No disruption to daily activities

2–4 Weeks

As the body metabolizes destroyed fat cells, swelling begins to subside and subtle changes in chin contour become noticeable. Skin may start to feel firmer, and the area appears slightly more refined.

✓ Initial fat reduction becomes visible
✓ Improved definition under the chin
✓ Continued healing with minimal maintenance required

6–8 Weeks

This is the most noticeable transformation period. The treated fat is gradually eliminated, and the submental area appears significantly slimmer and more sculpted. Skin may also retract slightly, enhancing overall contour.

✓ Substantial reduction in double chin appearance
✓ Visible jawline contouring
✓ Improved profile in photos and daily appearance

3–6 Months

By this phase, full results are achieved. Fat reduction is permanent in treated areas, and many patients opt for maintenance or additional sculpting treatments if desired. Results can last indefinitely with a stable weight.

✓ Long-lasting fat reduction
✓ Sharper, more youthful jawline
✓ Permanent results without surgery
