A chiselled jawline and sharp features are often associated with attractiveness and youthfulness. However, stubborn fat around the jawline and double chin can be a concern for many individuals. At Dr. Amina’s Skin Clinic, we offer advanced treatments to help you achieve a defined jawline and eliminate excess fat. Two of our most popular procedures are High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and fat loss injections. This blog delves into these treatments, explaining what they are, how they work, what to expect, and the results you can anticipate.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU)
What is HIFU?
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to tighten and lift the skin. It’s particularly effective for reducing fat around the jawline and neck, providing a more sculpted and youthful appearance. HIFU works by targeting the deeper layers of the skin, including the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS), which is the same layer addressed during surgical facelifts.
How Does HIFU Work?
HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to the SMAS layer, causing thermal coagulation points that trigger the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin over time. Additionally, the ultrasound energy helps to break down fat cells in the targeted area, which the body then metabolizes and removes naturally.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The HIFU procedure with Dr. Amina begins with a thorough consultation to determine your suitability and goals. During the treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver ultrasound energy to specific areas around your jawline and neck. The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Results and Recovery
One of the significant advantages of HIFU is that there is no downtime. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the procedure. Initial results can be seen within a few days, with more noticeable improvements over the next 2 to 3 months as collagen production continues. Most patients achieve optimal results after one session, but additional treatments are recommended to enhance the outcome.
Fat Loss Injections
What are Fat Loss Injections?
Fat loss injections, also known as lipolytic injections, are non-surgical treatments designed to reduce localized fat deposits. At Dr. Amina’s Skin Clinic, we use a specialized formulation that includes deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. These injections are particularly effective for targeting stubborn fat under the chin and around the jawline.
How Do Fat Loss Injections Work?
The active ingredient in fat loss injections works by disrupting the fat cell membrane, causing the fat cells to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system. This process reduces the fat in the treated area, resulting in a more contoured and defined jawline.
What to Expect During the Procedure
The procedure begins with a consultation to assess your suitability and discuss your aesthetic goals. During the treatment, a series of small injections are administered directly into the fat layer beneath the skin. The number of injections and sessions required will depend on the extent of fat and your desired results.
Results and Recovery
Some swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common after the injections, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days. Results become visible within a few weeks as the body gradually eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
Combining HIFU and Fat Loss Injections
For enhanced results, many patients opt to combine HIFU and fat loss injections. This combination approach addresses both skin laxity and fat deposits, providing a comprehensive solution for achieving a chiseled jawline. Our experienced doctor will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.
