Submental Fat Reduction & Jawline Contouring
Double Chin Treatment
A double chin occurs when the jaw is weak compared to the soft tissue under the neck — making people look overweight and older than they really are. Our advanced non-surgical treatments eliminate excess fat deposits and sagging for a sharper, more defined profile.
What Is It?
The double chin area — from the chin to the underside of the neck — is prone to excessive fat deposits, sagging, and wrinkles that make a person appear older than they are. These effects can only be eliminated through specialized aesthetic procedures. Often caused by excess weight and skin laxity over time, double chin concerns are seen in both men and women, though more common in women due to skin structure. At Delight Clinic, our expert team offers a comprehensive range of treatments — from lipolysis injections and cryolipolysis to radiofrequency skin tightening and laser-assisted liposuction — each tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Duration
1–4 hours depending on the procedure
Results
Visible reduction in 2–4 weeks; continued improvement for up to 6 months
Recovery
Garment worn for 2–3 weeks; redness, bruising, and mild swelling expected for first few days
The Procedure
01 Lipolysis Injections
Deoxycholic acid injections target and dissolve fat cells in the double chin area. The substance breaks down and absorbs dietary fat, resulting in a more contoured appearance with minimal downtime.
02 Cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing)
Controlled cooling targets and destroys fat cells beneath the chin. The treated fat cells are then gradually eliminated by the body's natural processes over the following weeks.
03 Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments
RF devices use heat energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. Applied to the double chin area, it improves skin elasticity, reduces sagging, and enhances skin texture and firmness.
04 Laser-Assisted Liposuction
A minimally invasive procedure using laser technology to liquefy and remove excess fat from the double chin area, delivering precise contouring with faster recovery than traditional methods.
