A More Defined Jawline Without Surgery
At Allodermis, we treat a double chin not just as a cosmetic concern but as a structural, metabolic, and genetic condition. Our doctor-led, evidence-based treatments contour the jawline, reduce submental fat, and tighten skin safely and naturally.
What Is a Double Chin?
A double chin refers to excess fat and/or skin laxity beneath the chin, often caused by fat accumulation, weak chin structure, collagen decline, genetics, or hormonal imbalances.
Submental fullness is extremely common. Even individuals with a healthy BMI may develop a double chin due to hereditary fat distribution patterns.
68% of adults feel bothered by double chin fullness — American Society for Dermatologic Surgery
Root Cause Understanding
Unlike centres that only reduce fat, we analyse the biological + structural factors behind your double chin.
Submental fat vs water retention
Skin laxity (collagen type & density decline)
Chin projection / jawline bone structure
Lymphatic sluggishness
Posture-induced muscle weakness
Hormonal & metabolic contributors
Causes of Double Chin
Internal Factors
Genetics: Family history strongly predicts submental fat distribution
Ageing: Loss of collagen leads to sagging and loose skin
Hormonal changes: Thyroid imbalance, insulin resistance can increase fat storage
Bone structure: A retruded chin or weak jaw angle enhances double chin appearance
External Factors
Weight gain or rapid weight changes
Sedentary lifestyle
Poor posture ("tech neck") leading to platysma muscle weakness
High-salt diet causing water retention in lower face

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
If skin laxity is severe, we recommend staged treatments or surgeon referral.
Double Chin Treatments
We combine USFDA-approved technologies with anatomical precision.
HIFU
Lifting + Tightening + Mild Fat Reduction
Targets SMAS layer (same layer as surgical facelift). Stimulates collagen and elastin. Gradual tightening over 2-3 months. Ideal for sagging + mild fat.
Cryolipolysis (Fat Freezing)
Permanent Fat Cell Destruction
Freezes fat cells to -10 degrees C. 20-25% fat reduction per session. No downtime. Long-term results.
RF Skin Tightening
Intragen / Monopolar RF
Heat-based collagen remodelling for tighter chin and improved jawline contour. Quick, comfortable session.
MNRF
Moderate Laxity + Skin Thickening
Stimulates deep collagen regeneration. Sharpens jawline definition. Excellent for ageing + double chin combination cases.
Injectable Fat Dissolvers
Deoxycholic Acid (Kybella Equivalent)
Breaks down fat cells with multiple small injections. FDA-approved molecule. Visible results in 3-6 weeks.
Chin Augmentation (Filler)
When the Problem Is Bone, Not Fat
Strengthens jawline, projects chin forward, instantly reduces double chin appearance.
