The jawline plays an essential role in facial symmetry and attractiveness. Some people aren’t able to get the jawline they want because of a double chin or heaviness in the jowl area. Madison, WI’s Radiance Skin Therapy & Laser Center can advise you about the best treatments to improve the contour and definition of the lower face.
Your chin size and shape have a strong correlation to the overall appearance of your face. Gender, genetics, aging, and body weight are all factors that affect the shape of your chin. The appearance of submental fat or a double chin is one of the most common conditions. Although it was once thought to only affect those struggling with weight gain, we now know that sometimes simply losing weight won’t make this condition go away. Many people who are at a healthy weight and fit otherwise still have it.

A double chin can occur if there is an excess layer of fat that accumulates below the chin or skin laxity is giving you loose skin. For some people, weight gain can result in a double chin but for others, even after losing weight it may not go away. Some people are predisposed to having a larger amount of submental fat or fat in the jowl area. This extra layer under the chin could also be caused by sagging or drooping as the skin loses elasticity due to aging.
Radiance Skin Therapy offers several treatments that are highly effective for reducing excess fat in between the chin and neck and in the jowl area. KYBELLA® is an injectable that dissolves the excess fat cells below the chin or in the jowl area that is causing the look of heaviness, that are causing the appearance of a double chin. Once this fat is broken down and flushed out of the body, the fat cells cannot grow back. CoolSculpting® is a fat freezing treatment that can minimize fat bulges in between the chin and neck, restoring a slimmer jaw area. This treatment can be ideal for someone who is relatively slim and in good shape but has some stubborn, resistant fat below the chin that they are unable to reduce with exercise and diet alone. Sofwave™ is a non-surgical treatment that can stimulate collagen to help tighten skin on the jawline area.
The contraction-inhibiting effects of BOTOX® wear off after a matter of roughly three to four months, with muscle motion slowly returning to the treated area. With that motion comes visible wrinkles again. The formula is safe for repeated use, so new sessions can be scheduled as required.
BOTOX®is a neuromodulator or wrinkle relaxer that softens expression wrinkles, and dermal fillers are available to add volume as a way of reducing wrinkles or improving facial contours, Skin rejuvenation options such as AQUAGOLD® micro channeling, laser skin resurfacing, IPL, Genius® RF Microneedling, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and microneedling revitalize the skin and improve a variety of skin imperfections.
