These treatments require minimal downtime, and are administered by our experienced dermatologists who understand both facial anatomy and artistic symmetry.

Understanding the Real Causes of a Double Chin
While it’s commonly believed that a double chin comes from weight gain, the reality is far more complex. Even slim individuals can have a double chin due to hereditary fat distribution, natural aging, or posture-related muscle weakening. When your skin begins to lose its firmness and gravity starts pulling downward, the area under your chin can collect fat or appear looser—resulting in that extra fold. Genetics can predispose you to this even if you maintain a healthy lifestyle, making targeted intervention necessary.
At HALOS, our first step is to identify what’s actually causing your double chin. We assess the depth and type of submental fat, the quality of your skin, your jawline contour, and muscle tone. This in-depth evaluation helps us recommend the right combination of treatments. If it’s fat accumulation, we may opt for injectable lipolysis. If your skin is sagging, then tightening procedures will yield better results. In some cases, we may use both. This strategic, layered approach gives you not just a better chin—but a naturally elegant, younger-looking lower face.
- Genetics, age, and posture all contribute to double chin
- Not always associated with weight gain
- Collagen loss causes skin to sag
- Postural issues can accentuate chin fat
- Hormonal and metabolic factors may play a role
- Our evaluation identifies the exact root cause
Our Advanced, Non-Invasive Treatment Methods
At HALOS, we believe that double chin correction should be effective, safe, and downtime-free. That’s why we only use non-surgical techniques, customized for your specific concerns. One of our most effective treatments is deoxycholic acid injection, a clinically proven method to dissolve localized fat cells. This injectable works by breaking down the fat under your chin, which your body then naturally eliminates over a few weeks. It’s precise, controlled, and performed in a way that protects the surrounding tissues.
For clients who have more of a skin-tightening need, we use High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) or radiofrequency (RF) devices. These treatments use thermal energy to stimulate deep layers of your skin, triggering new collagen formation and tightening the existing structure. Over time, this not only lifts the area but enhances skin texture and firmness. Our dermatologists often combine fat-dissolving and skin-lifting methods to give you a refined, balanced result that looks natural and youthful.
- Fat-dissolving injectables for precise reduction
- HIFU boosts collagen and lifts the skin
- RF treatments improve firmness and elasticity
- Combination therapy offers optimal results
- No cuts, scars, or downtime involved
- All procedures are dermatologist-supervised
What to Expect During and After the Treatment
We know that facial procedures can bring some anxiety, but rest assured—our treatments are safe, comfortable, and quick. During your session, we begin with a skin cleanse and numbing cream to ensure minimal discomfort. For fat-dissolving injections, we use ultra-fine needles to deliver the solution directly into the targeted fat pocket. The procedure takes around 30 minutes, and you can walk out without needing recovery time. Mild swelling or bruising is normal but fades within a few days.
When undergoing HIFU or RF sessions, you’ll feel a warm sensation as the device moves across your skin. These are completely non-invasive procedures, and many clients even find them soothing. The results build gradually over a few weeks as collagen levels improve. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and track your progress during follow-up visits. Our aim is not just to reduce the double chin but to ensure a smooth, even, and natural finish that enhances your overall facial harmony.
- Quick, comfortable in-clinic sessions
- Little to no downtime or interruption to your schedule
- Mild and temporary post-treatment swelling
- Full results appear progressively in 6–12 weeks
- Post-care support and progress monitoring
- Results improve further with healthy lifestyle habits
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
The number of sessions required for double chin correction depends on your individual anatomy and goals. On average, fat-dissolving injectables are done in 2–4 sessions, each spaced about 4 weeks apart. With each treatment, the fat layer reduces noticeably, giving your jawline a more defined shape. If we’re addressing skin laxity instead of fat, 1–3 sessions of HIFU or RF are typically sufficient for long-term tightening and lifting.
Each case is unique, and at HALOS, we never rush results or over-treat. After every session, we re-evaluate your progress and adjust your treatment plan to ensure you're on the right path. We believe in slow, steady enhancement rather than dramatic overnight changes. This not only ensures safety but also keeps your appearance looking completely natural—just a fresher, more confident version of yourself.
- 2–4 injectable sessions for fat removal
- 1–3 sessions for skin tightening with HIFU or RF
- Session intervals depend on body response
- Results accumulate over time for a natural look
- Maintenance sessions may be advised yearly
- Honest, realistic planning with zero overpromising
