How to Create a Slim V-Line with a Double Chin Lifting Treatment

Provider: Imiseok Theme Dermatology Clinic

Why do so many people want a V-line face? There are many reasons, such as making the face look smaller and making the facial features appear more defined. Above all, it meets the generally accepted beauty standards of our time while also giving others a sophisticated, neat impression and a youthful look.

The area that has the biggest impact on a V-line face is the chin. To create a V-line, the jawline must be clearly defined. As a result, people with a double chin, often called a “second chin,” visit dermatology clinics near Gangnam Station to seek treatment for double chin removal, getting rid of a double chin, and lifting sagging cheeks.

As warm spring approaches, the heavy layers of clothing we used to bundle up in have become much lighter, but the fat under the chin still sticks out without regard!

Let’s look at why a double chin appears, as well as the types of lifting treatments and procedures used to create a V-line.

If you have a double chin even though you haven’t gained weight

A double chin is often thought to be caused by weight gain. That is not entirely wrong, but there are cases where it is not, so it is necessary to get an accurate diagnosis from dermatology medical staff to determine which case applies to you.

1. When submental fat increases along with overall weight gain

In this case, when the whole body gains weight, fat under the chin also increases. Accordingly, people with obesity can easily develop a double chin.

2. When loss of facial elasticity causes the skin around the chin to sag and become chin fat

As you get older and skin aging progresses, the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis decreases. Hyaluronic acid, which fills the spaces between them, also decreases, and as a result, volume is lost. When the elasticity of the area supporting fat cells and muscles weakens like this, the skin around the chin sags downward, making the jawline uneven and turning into a protruding, fatty shape.

3. When weakened facial muscles cause fat to accumulate under the chin

There are many muscles in the face that are organically connected. These muscles allow us to make various expressions, chew food, and speak. If these facial muscles and expression muscles are not used often, they become weak and loose, which interferes with the smooth circulation of moisture and lymphatic fluid, causing fat to accumulate under the chin and gradually turning into a double chin.

4. When poor lifestyle habits have continued for a long time

People with a straight neck, forward head posture, or a hunched back are more likely to develop a double chin. This is because their usual posture is misaligned, causing the back to hunch or the neck to lean to one side. If you habitually rest your chin on your hand or use a high pillow, your neck will be pushed forward, weakening the muscles under the chin and causing the tongue to drop downward, which can lead to a double chin.

Types of lifting treatments

How can an already existing double chin be removed? First, it is necessary to improve lifestyle habits properly, but it is not easy to completely get rid of chin fat with habit changes alone. If laser, Botox, and thread lifting procedures are combined, a double chin can be noticeably improved in a short time.

1. Laser lifting

Laser improves a double chin by inducing elasticity regeneration in the facial skin. When laser is applied and the collagen and elastin fibers needed for elasticity are synthesized, firmness is restored from within, allowing sagging skin under the chin to improve.

2. Botox lifting

Botox is a procedure that reduces the size of bulky muscles by injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin, diluted to a safe concentration, into the facial muscle layer. For people whose faces appear bulky due to a square jaw and similar concerns, lifting Botox can help create a smaller, slimmer V-line face. When injecting Botox, it is important to delicately inject it into various lifting points in the epidermis, dermis, and muscle layer.

3. Thread lifting

Thread lifting is a skin-lifting procedure that inserts dissolvable medical threads into the skin to pull sagging tissue upward and restore elasticity. Since the sagging skin is pulled upward, a slimmer jawline can be created. It also has the effect of promoting collagen production in the dermis, so it is often used when excessive chin fat has caused a double chin.

Laser and medical skin care effective for a double chin

Among the various facial lifting methods for improving a double chin, laser treatment is recommended as a non-surgical option. This is because it is the least burdensome method when considering fear of anesthesia, pain, and the possibility of scarring.

To improve chin fat with laser, the first step is to accurately diagnose the cause, location, and depth. Treatment then proceeds by carefully applying a laser that induces the regeneration of collagen and elastic fibers. At this point, since the jawline as well as the submental fat must be considered together to expect satisfactory results, it is necessary to receive treatment from an experienced medical professional.

Shurink

Shurink laser is an ultrasound laser favored by many people because its lifting effect is visibly noticeable in a short time and its cost is reasonable. It has the effect of improving the entire facial line as well as chin fat. The procedure forms thermal coagulation points in the fibromuscular layer at a depth of 4.5 mm, then forms thermal coagulation points in the lower dermis at a depth of 3 mm, and then in the upper dermis at a depth of 1.5 mm. As a result, collagen contraction occurs around the thermal coagulation points and regeneration is promoted, allowing the Shurink lifting effect to be seen from both inside and outside the skin.

New Thermage CPT

Thermage lifting using New Thermage CPT uses a laser device that has improved on the existing Thermage to induce collagen contraction and regeneration, just like Shurink. Its advantages are less pain and fast recovery, to the point that washing the face or applying makeup is possible immediately after the procedure. Although results vary by individual, a single treatment can provide elasticity-enhancing effects for an average of six months. It is a laser preferred by those who want an overall slim facial line and improved firmness.

Ulthera

Ulthera lifting is a lifting method that uses Ulthera, a laser device approved by the U.S. FDA for brow lifting. A key feature is that it delivers ultrasound energy to the skin for a powerful lifting effect. Because it can deliver energy to the SMAS layer, it can provide excellent lifting results. It can also improve skin texture. In addition, ultrasound makes it possible to monitor the depth of the treatment area in real time, making it a highly safe procedure.

For double chin lifting, combining laser treatment with medical skin care can provide an even stronger lifting effect.

LDM water droplet lifting

LDM care is a dewy skin care treatment that promotes skin regeneration immunity by up to 1800%. Based on patented technology, it raises the regeneration cycle of cells slowed down by aging. Through this, skin moisture is maintained, collagen regeneration is promoted, and the skin’s immune system is strengthened, which can help create moisturized skin and a firm face.

Ultrasound care

Ultrasound care suppresses melanin production and promotes collagen production. During ultrasound care, microvibrations help clear away dead skin cells and balance oil and moisture, making it effective for improving skin troubles and acne. Depending on the skin type, it can help nutrients and moisturizing ingredients penetrate well, making it effective for skin regeneration care and brightening care.
