Double Chin Removal in Singapore
Have you often wondered how you would look without a double chin? Stubborn fat accumulating under the chin can be a challenge to get rid of, even if you are at a healthy weight. Thankfully, advances in dermatology enable you to choose a safe treatment method to help you overcome this issue. Come to Curamed Aesthetics, and let us help you achieve the desired rejuvenated look you have always wanted.
What is a Double Chin?
Also known as submental fat, a double chin occurs when a fatty layer builds up beneath your chin and can affect both men and women. When this happens, our chin looks chubbier or appears to be sagging downwards, making it seem like we have two chins.
While weight gain or obesity are commonly attributed as the leading cause, a double chin can also form if you are at a healthy weight due to genetics or ageing.
Double Chin Causes
- Weight gain/obesity: A double chin may result from poor dietary habits or indicate that an underlying condition contributes to your double chin’s formation. Excess weight can form anywhere in the body, including under the chin, and getting rid of that fat conventionally can be difficult.
- Physical inactivity: Exercise keeps us fit and strengthens our muscles at the same time. A lack of exercise can contribute to the formation of a double chin as these muscles weaken.
- Ageing: As we age, we slowly lose collagen and elastin, reducing our skin’s elasticity and its ability to hold underlying fat as it usually does.
- Genetics: Some people inherit a stronger or softer jawline from their parents or various other genetic factors that can contribute to a double chin; if their parents have a double chin, it is also likely to be inherited as well.
- Posture: It may seem strange, but your posture can affect your double chin. Frequent slouching or tilting your head forward when on the phone can cause your chin muscles to weaken gradually and cause it to sag.
- Medical conditions: Some conditions can cause changes to your hormones or other body aspects that affect the distribution of fat within the body. They may even cause an accumulation of fat in the chin, thereby contributing to a double chin.
- UV exposure: Long-term exposure to the Sun’s rays can accelerate the ageing process on the skin, causing our skin to lose elasticity.
- Dehydration: When we are dehydrated, our body will do what it can to retain water inside the body to keep our vital functions going. This water retention can make our chin and neck area seem puffier.
Some factors are still within our control, and we can take the necessary steps to eliminate a double chin. In other cases, these contributing factors – like genetics – cannot be avoided despite our best efforts.
How to Lose a Double Chin
Preventive measures are the best way to prevent a double chin from forming, but getting rid of it can be difficult for those with one. Conventional means like switching to a healthy diet and regularly exercising can help you lose a double chin, but it will still take considerable time and patience. Luckily, dermatological treatments are available to help you reduce your double chin using safe and effective non-surgical treatment procedures. You can relax knowing you will not have to go under the knife to remove your double chin.
Double Chin Removal in Singapore
With Curamed Aesthetics, you can choose from two of our targeted therapies to help overcome your double chin.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment procedure that helps to tighten, tone and lift your skin. The procedure uses a device that focuses “micro-focused ultrasound” on your skin’s deep structural layers, generating a thermal effect that helps to stimulate collagen production. In doing so, the new collagen will help lift the skin around your chin area and counteract your double chin. The procedure is certified safe and does not cause any harm to your body; it delivers the right amount of energy to the right skin layer and at the right temperature.
Depending on where you are treated, an Ultherapy session can last from 45 minutes to 1 hour. You can freely return to your regular daily activities right after your treatment is completed with no downtime whatsoever; you may experience some mild side effects, but these are rare and only temporary. You may potentially see some promising results, but the full extent of the treatment’s benefits can be seen within the next two to three months.
The price of Ultherapy treatment will depend on your skincare requirements or the number of sessions you need for the best results. There is no fixed price for every individual.
Chin Fillers
Chin fillers are another effective treatment option for double chins, where gel-like solutions are carefully introduced into your chin area. Chin fillers are typically hyaluronic acid solutions that help to rejuvenate the appearance of your chin by carefully injecting the solution into targeted areas, increasing the contours or volume of the chin while adding moisture for a smoother look.
A numbing cream will first be applied to your chin to improve your comfort during the procedure. Once the cream has set, a professional will slowly and carefully inject the chin filler into specific points to mould your desired look. Once the procedure is complete, you might experience minor bruising or swelling that will fade away after a few days.
The entire procedure takes less than an hour and has minimal downtime, so you can quickly get back to your daily routine in no time. The pricing will depend on the type of chin fillers used and the areas that need treatment.
Whichever treatment you decide on, we will provide you with a comprehensive consultation session to help you understand the procedures and get personalised treatment at the right price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any side effects when undergoing treatments for chin fillers in Singapore?
There are no significant side effects when getting chin fillers. Some patients experience slight discomfort, such as bruising or swelling, which generally disappears after a few days.
How long does a chin filler last?
The timespan varies depending on the type of dermal fillers used. Typically, hyaluronic acid fillers are used in Singapore and can last around 9 to 18 months, while those who use Radiesse or Ellanse can expect them to last for around 12 to 24 months.
Can Ultherapy replace a facelift?
Ultherapy treats the deep foundational layer addressed in cosmetic surgery but does not duplicate the results of a surgical facelift. Nonetheless, Ultherapy is a worthwhile treatment that benefits those who are not agreeable to surgery or others looking to extend the effects of cosmetic surgery.
How different is Ultherapy from laser treatments?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound energy to bypass the skin’s surface and treat the deeper layers, a feat many other non-invasive treatments have not achieved. Ultherapy ultrasound stimulates collagen production in the skin’s foundation, helping to generate a lift of tissue over two to three months. Because of its properties, Ultherapy can be viewed as an alternative to laser treatments that cannot reach deeper skin layers. Laser treatments only treat superficial skin and are not FDA-cleared to lift skin.
