Find the Best Procedure for Double Chins
Contour your jawline and improve your self-confidence with Berman Skin Institute’s treatments for double chins. While many people develop a double chin (also known as submental fullness) as they age, we understand how it can impact your self-esteem. More than that, we know how challenging it can be to get rid of the loose skin and excess fat on your own.
That is why we offer three fast, effective procedures that target your concerns at the root and put you on the path to a better you. Discover the right solution for you and let our providers develop your custom treatment plan today.

The CoolSculpting® Experience
Freeze away fat? You heard that right. Fat tissue has a different freezing point than other cells and tissues, allowing us to use the FDA-approved CoolSculpting® technology to target precise areas without affecting the surrounding features.
CoolSculpting is specifically designed for exercise- and diet-resistant fat, and requires no surgery or downtime. All you have to do is sit back, relax and let our providers do their jobs. You can return to your normal activities immediately following treatment, and over the coming weeks, your body will break down and flush out those frozen fat cells until they’re gone for good.
SmartLipo Laser Liposuction
Another option to consider is SmartLipo Laser liposuction. The use of a thermal laser makes this choice less invasive than traditional liposuction procedures. Essentially, the targeted heat of our laser “melts” away fat and tightens up your features. We also use a gentle suction tool to carefully remove stubborn fat cells.
KYBELLA® Double Chin Injections
Berman Skin Institute is also a proud provider of KYBELLA®. Like fillers, this double chin treatment is an injection delivered to the targeted region. However, instead of adding fullness to the area, it breaks down fat to reduce it.
The active ingredient in KYBELLA is known as deoxycholic acid, and it interacts directly with fat cells to destroy them. Once broken down, your body can take over and flush out the cells, leaving behind a more contoured jawline and chin.

Frequently Asked Questions
A double chin, also known as submental fullness, is a common concern that many people develop as they age. It occurs due to a combination of factors including aging, genetics, weight gain, and skin laxity. Over time, the skin loses elasticity and fat deposits can accumulate under the chin, creating the appearance of fullness. The good news is that modern cosmetic treatments can effectively address this concern.
Berman Skin Institute offers three highly effective procedures:
CoolSculpting® — A non-invasive fat freezing treatment
SmartLipo Laser Liposuction — A minimally invasive laser-assisted liposuction
KYBELLA® — Injectable treatment that breaks down fat cells
CoolSculpting uses FDA-approved technology that takes advantage of a key biological fact: fat tissue freezes at a different temperature than other cells and tissues in your body. This allows us to target precise areas of fat under your chin without affecting the surrounding skin and features.
During the treatment, the CoolSculpting device is applied to the targeted area. Over the following weeks and months, your body naturally breaks down and flushes out the frozen fat cells, leaving you with a more contoured jawline.
CoolSculpting is ideal for exercise- and diet-resistant fat and requires no downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately.
The best treatment for your double chin depends on several factors including the amount of fat present, your skin quality, your downtime preferences, and your overall aesthetic goals. During a consultation with our providers, we’ll evaluate your specific situation and recommend the most suitable option or combination of treatments for you.
Each treatment has unique advantages, and our experts will help you choose the right solution for your needs.
CoolSculpting: Requires no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately following treatment.
SmartLipo Laser Liposuction: Minimally invasive with faster recovery than traditional liposuction. Most patients experience mild swelling and bruising that resolves within a few days to a week.
KYBELLA: Minimal downtime. You may experience some swelling and tenderness at the injection site, which typically subsides within a few days.
CoolSculpting: Results appear gradually over several weeks as your body processes the frozen fat cells. Most dramatic improvements are visible after two to three months.
SmartLipo Laser Liposuction: You’ll notice immediate improvement, with continued refinement over the following weeks as swelling decreases and skin tightens.
KYBELLA: Results develop gradually over several weeks. Some patients require multiple treatment sessions for optimal results, which will be discussed during your consultation.
All three treatments provide long-lasting results because they permanently destroy fat cells. Once fat cells are removed (whether through freezing, laser, or injection), they do not regenerate.
However, maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle will help you keep your improved jawline and chin contour for years to come.
Most people with double chin concerns are candidates for at least one of these treatments. However, the best option for you depends on factors such as:
- The amount of excess fat and skin laxity
- Your overall health and medical history
- Your aesthetic goals
- Your preferred downtime and recovery timeline
