Double chin treatment with HIFU

A double chin is the excessive enlargement of the skin in the chin and neck area, which looks like a second chin under the normal chin. As the face is often the first point of focus for the person you are talking to, the chin area is one of the most important areas for making a first impression. Although it is usually clinically harmless, the double chin is often considered unattractive and leads to dissatisfaction with one's own appearance. One way to reduce the double chin is treatment with the Ultraformer III. HIFU technology (high-intensity focused ultrasound) has a direct destructive effect on the fat cells and promotes the formation of new collagen in the depths of the skin. 

Most people know what a double chin is. How it develops, already know less. How to treat it is known only to a few people. Although a double chin has no clinical significance, many affected people are annoyed by the aesthetic effect of the enlarged chin. It looks superfluous and destroys the beautiful contours on the face. For this reason, people often search the Internet for prevention options or treatments against the double chin, as it can definitely be a psychological burden. 

The main cause in education is Overweight. Due to the excess weight, fat reserves are also deposited in the neck and chin area, stretching the skin and making the double chin visible. Also after the Slimming the skin under the neck can remain saggy if you lose too much weight in a short time. The natural aging process also ensures that the skin becomes generally flabby and begins to sag. Genetic factors can also cause you to have a double chin by nature or genetically cause a lot of fat to be stored in the chin area.  

The treatment of double chin was long considered treatable only by plastic surgeons who suction or surgically remove the fat under the chin or inject a solution with a syringe that breaks down the fat. With the development of HIFU technology, a non-invasive method to combat the problem has been introduced. The Ultraformer III is a device with exactly this HIFU technology, which uses focused ultrasound waves to heat, stimulate or destroy the tissue in depth. The generated focal points under the skin cause collagen regeneration and stimulate the wound healing process. Elimination of local fatty tissue is also enabled. This results in tightening and smoothing of the tissue, fewer wrinkles and a more youthful appearance. Not only patients with double chins, but also wrinkles, sagging chin areas, drooping upper eyelids or eyebrows, turkey neck or irregular skin tone and large pores can be treated with the state-of-the-art device. 

One treatment usually takes about 20-30 minutes and is considered not painful. After the treatment you can immediately go about your usual activities, some swelling is possible. The final result is visible after 3-6 months, as building collagen is a long process. We recommend 2-3 treatments at 2-3 month intervals, followed by an annual refresher treatment.
