A double chin known as submental fat is a condition most people consider unattractive. It is a medical condition that occurs due to aging, inheritance, or increased weight. It affects one’s self-esteem due to changes in physical appearance. The current conventional treatment for double chin includes liposuction surgeries. The surgical treatments are becoming less chosen than the non-surgical ones. One such effective and noninvasive treatment modality is radio frequency or RF therapy. So mainly this question arises Can a double chin be treated with Radiofrequency? This sheds more light on radiofrequency treatment as a solution for a double chin and everything you expect from it.
Understanding Radiofrequency for Fat Reduction:
Radiofrequency (RF) therapy is a non-surgical procedure that uses RF energy to heat the skin and subcutaneous fat layer. The energy produced by the RF device goes through the skin. It heats the tissue to promote collagen production to tighten as well as reduce fat. The lymphatic system in the body absorbs and destroys all fat deposits by producing heat. In Islamabad, body sculpting and fat destruction through RF treatments are quite popular. The double chin is often the most responsive area for this treatment.
How Does Radiofrequency Work on a Double Chin?
Here’s how the process works:
Fat Reduction: RF energy causes the heating up of the targeted submental fat cells, causing the fat cells to dilate. The body can then burn it (the fat) and reduce its volume.
Skin Tightening: RF device generates heat and this causes the production of collagen and elastin which are proteins that are used in skin tightening and elasticity. It also helps in reducing the buildup of the fat that leads to a ‘muffin top’ or a double chin.
Improved Contour: Fat goes, the skin tone tightens, the jawline and the area of the chin tend to look leaner and would be inclined to look younger.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Treatment for a Double Chin:
- RF therapy is less invasive as compared to surgical procedures whereby it does not involve cutting of skin or use of anesthesia.
- People refer to the feeling as a warm massage and, there is no need for a patient to take a break.
- The specific device and area determine the length of each session, which can take between 20 and 45 minutes.
- Gradual, natural-looking results as RF treatment is different since it rids the body of fat gradually and tightens the skin naturally.
- The treatment combats premature facial aging by reducing fat and increasing collagen and elastin production as it creates youthful skin.
What to Expect During the Treatment:
- During the treatment, a person manipulates the RF device under the chin’s skin.
- The patient usually feels some kind of heat but it is not painful to them.
- Patients mostly experience some slight inflammation or redness around the area of treatment which only lasts for a few hours.
- An individual typically requires several sessions to complete this treatment plan, depending on the extent of the problem.
- The number of sessions needed depends on the degree of submental fat as well as the type of result.
- In particular, to realize significant changes, it takes between 4 to 6 sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Are There Any Side Effects?
RF therapy is safe and the side effects that come with its application are few:
- Redness, swelling of the skin, or pinprick sensations in the area of treatment these effects are usually mild.
- It is as efficient as surgical procedures because it does not make the cuts, and calls for the administration of anesthetic substances.
