Fotona Laser for double chin

Fotona with L-Runner is an excellent treatment for double chins because it uses two different mechanisms to work on the problem. In addition to tightening the skin by inducing collagen production, the deep heat produced by the long pulse ND-Yag Laser helps to destroy fatty cells (adipose cells).

The video below shows a portion of a Fotona Deep laser session that was performed with the L-Runner (Albany Cosmetic and Laser Center is the only clinic in Canada that has the L-runner).

Results and cost

The Fotona treatment is extremely comfortable and requires no downtime; a session will last 30 minutes, and it is recommended that you have a series of four sessions spaced two weeks apart. The cost of the session ranges between $300 and $600, depending on the severity of the case.

Belkyra (Kybella) injection for double chin

Kybella (Belkyra) is a non-surgical injectable technique that is used to reduce fat under the chin without the need for surgery. It is a procedure that is used to eliminate fat from the neck area. It is a deoxycholic acid formulation that aids in the absorption and breakdown of dietary fat (liposuction). Kybella is an injectable treatment that has been approved by the FDA for the reduction of the appearance of a double chin.

How does Kybella work?

In the body, deoxycholic acid is a substance that occurs naturally and aids in the absorption of dietary fat. Fat cell dissolution is made possible by bile acid, which is produced in the liver and has the ability to dissolve fat cells. It begins to break down and absorb fat as soon as it is injected into the targeted area (below the chin), preventing it from accumulating further in that area. A healthcare professional should be involved in the administration of Kybella injections due to the fact that the deoxycholic acid contained in the product has the potential to kill other cells.

How many Kybella’s injections are required?

The number of treatment sessions required varies from person to person, but in general, multiple sessions (between two and five sessions) may be required for effective treatment. Approximately 15-20 injections are administered during each session, and the sessions must be properly spaced out by approximately one to two-month intervals.

What are the risks and side effects involved?

After receiving Kybella treatment, most people experience only a minimal recovery period, with side effects subsiding within one to two weeks after the procedure. Bruising, redness, swelling, and numbness are some of the most common post-treatment side effects that may occur. An uneven smile, swallowing difficulties, facial muscle weakness, and nerve damage are all possible side effects of the procedure. Report to your healthcare provider any signs of severe side effects you are experiencing as soon as possible after they occur.

Therapy for double chin

With focused ultrasound energy delivered to the dermal and deep layers of the skin, Ultherapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive method for lifting and tightening skin on the neck, brows, and under the chin that can be used to treat sagging skin and wrinkles. In contrast to lasers, ultrasound therapy avoids the skin's surface and instead delivers ultrasound energy to the deep structural tissues of the skin, where collagen is found in abundance. As a result of a natural regenerative response, the skin becomes tighter and more lifted as collagen production is stimulated. The effects of the treatment build up over a period of two to three months and continue to improve for up to six months after the treatment.

What are the benefits of Ultherapy?

Ultherapy is the only non-surgical procedure that uses focused ultrasound technology to lift and tighten skin without the need for surgery.

Due to the fact that Ultherapy is non-invasive, there is no downtime required after the treatment.

Effects on the long term – It takes between two and three months to see any significant improvements. The outcomes become more favourable over time and are long-lasting.

A treatment that is adaptable – The energy depth and duration can be customized to meet the specific needs of each individual client.

Enhancement of natural appearance – Ultherapy causes gradual tightening of the skin through collagen stimulation caused by the body's natural regenerative process, resulting in skin that appears extremely natural. You can achieve an anti-aging result without the risk and downtime associated with surgical procedures.

Are there any side effects?

Following Ultherapy treatment, some patients may experience temporary swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area. Fortunately, these side effects are minor and only last for a short period of time. The procedure is painful, and there have been reports of fat atrophy as a result of it.

What is Coolsculpting?

CoolSculpting is a fat-freezing procedure that uses controlled cooling to target and eliminates stubborn fat deposits on the body. It is the only non-surgical fat-reduction treatment on the market that has been approved by the FDA. Controlled cooling and crystallization of targeted fat cells beneath the skin are achieved through the coolsculpting procedure, with the dead fat cells being naturally eliminated by the body. Coolsculpting is the only non-surgical treatment that can remove fat from larger areas than any other.

What are the benefits of Coolsculpting?

Coolsculpting is a non-invasive procedure that can be performed at home. In addition to treatment, people can engage in other activities such as reading a book or taking a nap. There is no need for any downtime to occur. Following treatment, patients can return to their regular activities.

Coolsculpting is a fat-freezing technology that has been approved by the FDA. There is no use of any synthetic substances in this procedure. Both safe and effective, it enhances the appearance of natural-looking and long-lasting results while reducing the risk of side effects.
