Double Chin

Double Chin Treatment in Newcastle

A double chin, or submental fullness, is the soft pad of fat and loose skin that sits beneath the jaw, and it affects people of every shape and size. Weight is only one factor: genetics, age, posture, the angle of your jaw and the natural loss of skin firmness over time all play a part, which is why slim people get double chins and why dieting often does not shift one. At our clinic in Whickham, Newcastle, we treat it with non-surgical options that reduce the fat, firm the skin or both, chosen at a free assessment, with prices from £350 and nothing to recover from.

Fat, skin or both?

A double chin is one of three things. A pad of fat you can pinch under the chin, which responds to fat freezing, Emerald Laser or HIFU. Loose skin that has dropped from the jawline and neck, which responds to HIFU or Exilis and not to fat removal, because taking fat from under loose skin leaves it looser. Or, most often, both together, which needs the fat reduced and the skin tightened in the right order. Working out which you have is the first thing we do, and it decides everything that follows.

Treatments for a double chin, and what they cost

Fat freezing

A small 360 applicator under the chin cools the fat cells until they die off, and the body clears them over six to twelve weeks. The chin is one area: £350 for a single session or £899 for a course of three, with most people needing one to three sessions. See fat freezing in Newcastle.

HIFU

HIFU sends focused ultrasound into the deeper layers under the chin and along the jawline, reducing the fat pad and tightening the skin over it at the same time, so it suits the double chin that comes with a softening jawline. Usually one session, £995 for the double chin, or £1,295 for the face and neck together.

Emerald Laser

Emerald Laser empties the fat cells under the chin with low-level laser light over a course of ten sessions, with no cold, no numbness and no downtime, and suits people who cannot have or do not want freezing. Double chin course: £1,850 for ten sessions, £2,650 for fifteen.

Exilis Ultra Face

For the loose, crepey skin under the chin and along the neck, Exilis Ultra Face firms the skin over a course of four or six sessions that feel like a hot stone massage, from £975 for four sessions on the neck.

Which one you need

A pinchable pad on a firm jawline: fat freezing. A pad with the jawline and neck starting to soften: HIFU, which does both jobs in one session. A larger pad, a higher BMI, or a dislike of the cold: Emerald Laser. Loose skin with little fat: Exilis or HIFU. Fat with loose skin over it: fat freezing or Emerald first, then HIFU or Exilis to tighten what is left. Our guide on how to get rid of a double chin without surgery goes through the three problems in more detail.

What to expect

Your assessment is free and there is no obligation. Your practitioner looks at the chin, jawline and neck, pinches and measures the pad, checks the skin, and sets out the plan with the number of sessions and the full price before anything is booked. Fat freezing under the chin takes under an hour; the area feels cold for the first few minutes and then numb. HIFU on the chin is quicker than a full face treatment and feels like heat and prickling, strongest over the jawbone. Neither needs an anaesthetic or time off, and you drive home afterwards. We price match like-for-like clinic treatments, and 0% finance over 12 months is available on plans of £1,000 or more, subject to a credit assessment.

Results and how long they last

Fat freezing results show from about four weeks and are complete at six to twelve weeks, and the removed cells do not come back as long as your weight stays roughly steady. HIFU results build over eight to twelve weeks and last twelve to eighteen months. Emerald results build through the course. The chin is a small area, so the change is usually obvious in profile photographs, which is why we take them at the assessment and at your review.

Safety

Fat freezing, HIFU, Emerald Laser and Exilis are non-invasive, CE-marked treatments with no needles and nothing injected. Side effects are temporary: redness, tenderness, mild swelling, and after fat freezing a numb patch under the chin that can take some weeks to fade, plus a rare risk of the treated fat becoming firmer rather than smaller, which we explain before you book. RT Aesthetics is a medically led clinic, so every plan follows our clinical protocols with a clinic medic and a qualified nurse practitioner on the team for any medical questions.
