Double Chin Treatments in Korea: Your Comprehensive Guide

Korea is at the forefront of non-surgical and minimally invasive aesthetic treatments, offering a wide array of effective solutions for a double chin. This common concern can make the jawline appear undefined and the face look heavier. Korean clinics utilize cutting-edge technologies and specialized injectables to safely and effectively reduce fat and tighten the skin under the chin, restoring a sharp, youthful, and contoured profile with minimal downtime.


What is a Double Chin?

A double chin is a layer of subcutaneous fat that accumulates under the chin. It can be caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, weight gain, aging, and poor posture. As we age, skin loses elasticity and neck muscles weaken, contributing to a saggy appearance.


Popular Types of Double Chin Treatments in Korea

  • Fat-Dissolving Injections:
  • Kybella/Deoxycholic Acid: This injectable treatment uses a molecule that breaks down and absorbs fat cells, leading to a permanent reduction.
  • Contour Injections: Many Korean clinics offer their own blends of fat-dissolving cocktails to target fat cells and promote lymphatic drainage.
  • HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound):
  • Shurink: This popular device delivers focused ultrasound energy to the deeper layers of the skin, breaking down fat cells and stimulating collagen for a more defined jawline.
  • RF (Radiofrequency) Treatments:
  • AccuTite: A minimally invasive RF treatment that delivers energy to melt fat and tighten the skin from the inside out.
  • Thread Lifts: A minimally invasive procedure where dissolvable threads are inserted under the chin to physically lift and tighten sagging skin, providing an immediate and defined contour.
