The double chin, also known as “turkey neck”, is one of the most hated signs of aging. It is caused by sagginess due to the loss of collagen, elastin, and excess skin. This condition can be fixed using different methods, going from surgery to quick and easy non-surgical treatments.
Surgery is the most effective way to get rid of the double chin; however, the price is high and downtime longer than non-surgical treatments. Here we will mention the most effective non-surgical treatments to reduce the double chin:
- Deoxycholic Acid: Also known as Kybella®, can be used in other areas of the body and works to eliminate the fat deposits. However if your skin is saggy under your neck, the treatment won’t be 100% effective, and you should also have a tightening simultaneously.
- PDO Threads: Are threads placed under the skin, able to reduce sagginess and increase collagen production; it is recommended for mild sagginess on the area.
- Thermage: This procedure uses ultrasound to treat the deepest skin layers and increase collagen and elastin production, which produce skin tightening in the area treated. The best results can be appreciated after a few months and last up to twenty-four months.
