Are you one of the countless individuals in or near OR trying to hide a double chin? Have you searched the internet for exercises to tone the neck area . . . only to find they don’t work? Are you weary of hiding your double chin beneath a turtleneck or scarf? EsthetixMD Spa & Laser Center in Bend offers a nonsurgical chin fat treatment option that is scientifically proven effective – CoolSculpting.

One chin is plenty!

A double chin is an extra layer of fat that creates a crease and a roll beneath the bony outcrop of your natural chin. It emphasizes jowls, distorts your profile, makes shirt collars uncomfortable, and adds pounds as well as years to the appearance of your face.

While diet and an active lifestyle may reduce overall BMI, chin deposits of fat are stubborn. Plus, a double chin doesn’t necessarily mean that you are overweight. Other contributing factors include:

• Genetics – Your body shape and fat zones are in large part attributable to heredity. If your parents had double chins, you probably will, too.
• Age – With each passing year after about age 30, the body produces less collagen and elastin proteins that keep skin firm. Meanwhile, we are more likely to gain weight and lose muscle tone as we get older. Sagging skin accentuates the problem.
• Posture – Slouching or improper head carriage weakens neck muscles, making chin fat more noticeable.

What is CoolSculpting chin treatment?

In the past, the only way to reduce double chin was with a surgical procedure – liposuction or neck lift surgery. CoolSculpting is an effective way to eliminate targeted fat under the chin, without needles, cutting, sutures, scars, or an extended recovery period.

CoolSculpting is completely noninvasive, with little or no discomfort. It is based on the science of cryolipolysis – the fact that fat freezes more readily than water. You simply relax while the clinician uses a special applicator to chill the flesh beneath your chin to a temperature that crystallizes fat cells, without harm to surrounding tissues (which are comprised mostly of water). You initially feel an intense sensation of cold that diminishes during the treatment session.

You begin to see noticeable change within a few weeks as treated fat cells are harmlessly eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. Improvement continues for up to three months. You may achieve desired results with just one session, although some patients opt for a second treatment for more dramatic change. Your new sculpted neck contours are long-lasting if you maintain body weight.
