How to Get Rid of Double Chin: Understanding Treatment Types by Cause
2026-07-06
Hello. This is Derna Clinic.
Have you ever been surprised by the thickening of your chin when taking a photo?
It's something many of us have experienced at least once.
You may have tried dieting to get rid of your double chin,
or received massages or treatments,
but often, improvement is more difficult than expected.
This is because a double chin is not just a simple fat issue,
but a change that occurs due to multiple factors.
Let's summarize the main causes of double chin
and the types of treatments that vary by cause.
If you're concerned about your double chin, please read on.
Why Does Double Chin Occur?
Double chin occurs due to the complex interaction of various factors.
✅ Decreased Skin Elasticity
As we age, collagen and elastin in the skin decrease,
weakening the skin's ability to support itself.
When the skin loses elasticity and begins to sag,
the definition of the jawline also collapses,
making the double chin more prominent.
✅ Increased Fat Under the Chin
When the amount of fat increases, the skin layer expands like a balloon,
and the muscles and fascia that cannot withstand this sag,
leading to a double chin.
✅ Decreased Muscle and Fascia Support
The habit of using a smartphone while looking down for long periods
can also have an impact.
If the muscles and fascia at the front of the neck are continuously stretched,
the strength supporting the jawline weakens,
and the double chin can worsen.
Do I Have a Double Chin?
If you have any of the following items,
you may need professional management.
✔️ The fat under the chin is thickening, and the facial contours look heavy.
✔️ The boundary between the chin and neck is blurred, making the face look dull.
✔️ My weight is the same, but the lower part of my face feels saggy.
✔️ The double chin is prominent from the front and side views,
making my expression look stuffy.
If these changes persist, it's time for a professional approach
to revive the skin's elasticity structure itself.
Types of Treatments for Double Chin by Cause
It's important to choose a treatment type for double chin
that matches your cause.
1️⃣ If Fat is the Main Cause
💛Violet Injection
If you have a lot of fat, Violet can be helpful.
Violet works not by reducing the size of fat,
but by destroying the fat cell membranes
to reduce the number of unnecessary fat cells.
The broken-down fat cells are naturally expelled from the body,
and this process can also help with collagen production.
The difference from existing contour injections is
that it can effectively reduce fat without rebound.
2️⃣ If Elasticity Decrease is the Problem
💛Ultherapy
If decreased elasticity and sagging skin are the main causes,
Ultherapy can be helpful.
Ultherapy goes beyond just lifting sagging skin
to reorganize the structure within the skin
to revive elasticity.
It delivers energy to various depths, including the epidermis, dermis, and fascia (SMAS) layers,
especially the 4.5mm tip directly stimulates the SMAS layer,
which is the key structure for skin elasticity,
allowing for lifting effects at the fascia level.
Ultherapy is particularly suitable for those with thick skin or
a lot of fat.
3️⃣ If You Want to Address Both Fat and Elasticity
Double chin often occurs with both fat and decreased elasticity.
In such cases, a combined approach considering both factors may be necessary.
💛TuneLiner
3D focused ultrasound energy delivers heat and vibration stimulation to the fat cell membranes,
weakening the cell structure and inducing the tissue to contract and reorganize.
When applied to areas with thick lower facial fat, such as double chin or buccal fat,
it can help with jawline definition and contour improvement.
It is particularly characterized by a short treatment time and relatively low pain,
allowing for precise adjustments of intensity and depth by area.
💛Onda Lifting
Onda Lifting delivers thermal energy to the dermis and fat layers,
inducing both fat reduction and skin tightening.
It can promote collagen production while improving unnecessary fat,
helping with elasticity recovery.
Have you organized the types of treatments for double chin a bit now?
The point is that if the causes are different,
the treatments should also differ.
💛 Fat-Centric Double Chin Concern → Violet
💛 Elasticity and Sagging-Centric Double Chin Concern → Ultherapy
💛 Combined Concern of Fat + Elasticity → TuneLiner, Onda Lifting
However, it's difficult to determine alone what causes my double chin,
and which treatment is suitable for me.
For accurate cause analysis and treatment selection,
please consult a specialist for diagnosis.
