Submental fat, commonly referred to as 'double chin fat' is a common concern that is often resistant to change, despite weight loss. BalaBala Laser Clinic offers non-invasive or minimally invasive fat reduction treatments that help to create a more defined jawline.
What Causes Double Chin Fat?
It is important to understand the underlying causes of double chin fat. Several factors contribute to the development of a double chin, including:
1. Age: As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and the muscles in the neck may weaken, leading to sagging skin and the appearance of a double chin.
2. Excess Fat: One of the most common causes of a double chin is the accumulation of excess fat in the chin and neck area. This can result from overall weight gain or localised fat deposits.
3. Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to developing a double chin, even if they maintain a healthy lifestyle.
