Dissolve Your Double Chin With Kybella®
Have you ever accidentally opened up your camera app while you were looking down at your phone? If you are like a lot of us then you probably weren’t a fan of this unexpected image. If you find yourself raising your phone high up to take a selfie, you are probably dealing with an excess of skin and fat under your chin and around your neck, also known as the dreaded “Double Chin”. Don’t worry you’re not alone. In fact, over 50% of Americans deal with a double chin as they age.
As with almost everything having to do with our bodies, there are a number of factors that cause a double chin and a variety of ways to help reduce it. One method of reducing the double chin stands out among the rest, and that is Kybella. Beauty Collective in Reno, NV has been providing Kybella treatments to Reno and Lake Tahoe residents for years! Kybella is a treatment with a long history of proven, positive results when it comes to helping people get rid of those areas that diet and exercise have a hard time reaching.
What Causes Double Chin?
A double chin, also known as submental fat, is a common occurrence that happens when a layer of fat forms below your chin. Here are some of the most common causes:
WEIGHT GAIN:
This is the most commonly blamed reason for having a double chin. But this can be sneakier than you think! Certain body types have a predisposition to gaining weight in certain areas of the body. Maybe you have only gained a few pounds and haven’t noticed any difference in your midsection, thighs, or arms. But one day you go to take a picture and . . . there it is! Weight loss can, of course, reduce the fat under your chin, but it doesn’t always get rid of it altogether
AGING AND GENETICS:
Although it might surprise you to learn that when we talk about aging, we aren’t just talking about people in their fifties or sixties. It is actually in our mid to late twenties that our collagen levels start to decrease, leaving our skin with less and less elasticity. Genetics plays a key role here as well. The predisposition toward having an excess amount of fat in your chin and neck can play a huge role in whether or not you develop a double chin.
POOR POSTURE:
This is a sneaky one because it isn’t talked about very much! Is there any chance you are reading this post on your phone right now? No? What about on a tablet? I think it’s safe to say that a lot of us are. Devices are a big part of the problem when it comes to developing a double chin. The introduction of new technologies has also led to the introduction of a new diagnosis: the “smart-phone neck”. Whether it is because we work from home or because more and more of our main mode of communication is via the internet, our posture has changed. We are more hunched over than we used to be and being hunched over puts pressure on the upper part of our spine and, you guessed it, our chin and neck area.
LIFESTYLE:
Here at The Beauty Collective, we don’t believe in shaming anyone for their lifestyle choice. Full stop. But we are also professionals who are here to help you be your best selves; meaning we wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t give you all the information regarding what causes your problem areas, especially your double chin. Things like diet, sun exposure, and smoking can lead to an increased amount of loose skin on your neck and chin.
Getting Rid of Your Double Chin
We know how we obtain our double chins, s let’s talk about how to get rid of them!
Certain exercises and diets can play a significant role in helping you reduce the amount of fat in your neck and chin, but often they aren’t enough. It’s likely that you have already tried to enact lifestyle changes without seeing the results that you desire, making you a perfect candidate for one of our most popular services: Kybella.
What is Kybella?
When it comes to getting rid of problem fat, mesotherapy is the go-to treatment. Mesotherapy is a technique that uses injections of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin, as well as remove excess fat. The most famous form of mesotherapy is Kybella.
How Does it Work?
Kybella works by having an injection of sodium deoxycholic acid into the middle layer of your skin, also known as the “mesoderm.” Sodium deoxycholic acid naturally occurs in the body and quickly breaks down fat cells to reduce their volume in targeted areas. Not only does it eliminate the fat, but it also tightens skin and reducing discoloration.
When Will I See Results?
One of the absolute best things about Kybella is that there is almost no downtime after the procedure and the results are permanent, with most patients seeing results in 3-4 weeks.
Get Your Ideal Chin & Body!
While Kybella is primarily used to address double chin, but it can also be injected into other areas of the body with excessive fat pockets. Here are a few other treatments that can help achieve your body goals.
CoolSculpting for FUPA & Underarms-
The FUPA is another troublesome area that plagues many adults. CoolSculpting is an effective treatment that can help get rid of your “pouch” as well as other irksome fat pockets throughout the body, like underarms, bra fat, banana rolls, and more!

Fillers for Facial Sculpting-
Men and women alike want to define their best features while, let’s say, covering up other unappealing features like fine lines and wrinkles. Fillers work to restore lost volume in areas like the face and hands, but can also be used to define and sculpt cheeks, brows, and jawlines.
Say Goodbye to Cellulite with QWO®-
While you are toning and sculpting, why not also address another common annoyance like cellulite? Cellulite forms naturally as we age and produce less collagen and elastin. QWO® is an effective and FDA- approved injectable used to treat cellulite around the thighs and buttocks.
