A double chin can be one of the most frustrating facial concerns to deal with. You might be otherwise slim, look after yourself, and still notice fullness or softness under the chin that doesn’t seem to change. It’s something we see often at Skin Studio , and it’s also one of the areas people feel most self‑conscious about.
Many assume surgery is the only real solution. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case. Today, doctor‑led, non‑surgical treatments can address both fat under the chin and loss of skin firmness, depending on what’s actually causing the issue.
A double chin isn’t always about weight. In fact, many people with a healthy body weight still experience fat or laxity under the chin.
Common causes include:
Often, it’s a combination of fat and reduced skin quality rather than one single factor.
General weight loss can help overall body fat, but it doesn’t allow for targeted fat reduction. Facial fat behaves differently to fat elsewhere in the body, and the area under the chin is particularly stubborn.
This is why people can lose weight and still feel unhappy with their jawline. When fat is localised, it often needs a localised solution.
For chin fat specifically, Meso Lipo is one of the most effective non‑surgical options available.
Meso Lipo is an injectable treatment designed to break down fat cells in targeted areas. Once the fat cells are disrupted, the body gradually processes and removes them over time.
At Skin Studio, Meso Lipo is:
Most clients require a short course of treatments, typically spaced a few weeks apart. Mild swelling or tenderness is common for a few days, but downtime is minimal.
This is an important distinction.
Not all “double chins” are caused by fat. In some cases, the issue is skin laxity rather than fullness - especially as collagen levels decline with age.
When sagging skin is the main concern, skin boosters can be highly effective.
Treatments such as Nucleofill or Rejuran work within the skin to:
These treatments don’t remove fat, but they can significantly improve the appearance of looseness and help restore definition. In many cases, skin boosters are combined with Meso Lipo to address both fat and skin quality for a more refined result.
Depending on your anatomy and goals, additional treatments may be considered. Subtle jawline contouring or structural support can sometimes enhance the overall outcome, but this is assessed carefully on an individual basis.
At Skin Studio, we don’t take a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. The right treatment plan depends on whether the issue is fat, skin laxity, or a combination of both.
You may be a good candidate if:
If you’re unsure what’s causing your concern, a professional assessment makes all the difference.
A double chin doesn’t need surgery to improve - but it does need the right diagnosis.

Book A Complimentary Skin ConsultationHIFU stands for High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound. It is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to target deeper layers beneath the skin, helping stimulate collagen production and create a firmer, tighter, more sculpted look over time.
At Skin Studio, HIFU can be used on the face, neck and selected areas of the body to improve the look of loose, soft or less defined skin.
Skin Studio uses Ultraformer MPT, an advanced ultrasound lifting and tightening device designed for non-invasive face lifting, skin tightening and body contouring.
Ultraformer MPT uses MMFU technology - micro and macro focused ultrasound - to target different depths of the skin and underlying tissue with precision. This allows us to tailor the treatment for different areas of the face, neck and body.
Your HIFU treatment starts with a personalised consultation. We assess your skin quality, degree of laxity, treatment area and the result you want to achieve.
This helps us understand whether HIFU is the right option for you, which areas should be treated, and how many sessions may be recommended. We will also explain what to expect during treatment, when results are likely to appear, and whether HIFU should be combined with another treatment for the best result.
You may be a good candidate for HIFU if your skin is starting to feel softer, looser or less firm, and you want a non-surgical treatment to help tighten and redefine targeted areas.
HIFU is usually best suited to mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck or body. If you have more advanced sagging, significant excess skin, active skin concerns in the treatment area, certain implants, or are pregnant, we may recommend a different treatment plan.
HIFU can treat selected areas of the face and body where the skin would benefit from tightening, firming and improved definition.Common treatment areas include the jawline, cheeks, under the chin, neck, upper arms, abdomen, thighs and above the knees. Your consultation will confirm which areas are suitable for you.
HIFU can be a strong option for mild to moderate sagging or skin laxity. It works by stimulating collagen in the deeper layers of the skin, helping the treated area feel firmer, tighter and more supported over time.For more advanced sagging, Skin Studio may recommend a different treatment or a combination plan.
Some people notice an initial tightening effect soon after treatment, but the main results develop gradually as collagen production increases.
Most people see visible improvement over 2–3 months, with the treated area continuing to refine as the skin responds.
Results vary depending on your skin quality, age, lifestyle, treatment area and collagen response. Many people choose maintenance treatment once or twice a year to support ongoing firmness and definition.
Your practitioner will recommend the right maintenance plan during your consultation.
