Fortunately, Dr. Brunner offers a variety of cutting-edge treatments to help you slim and contour the jawline with minimal downtime and natural-looking results. Below, we break down the top six treatments to reduce a double chin fast—plus how to decide which one is right for you.
1. QuantumRF 10
QuantumRF 10 is designed specifically to lift, tone, and define the lower face and neck. Using advanced radiofrequency energy combined with microneedling, this treatment triggers collagen production while remodeling fat below the surface.
Why it works for double chins:
QuantumRF 10 delivers heat deep into the tissue where fat cells reside, precisely targeting the fat in the submental area to smooth and firm the skin under the chin.
How it works:
The treatment uses directed radiofrequency to dissolve isolated pockets of fat and radiofrequency microneedles to deliver energy at multiple depths to the skin, resulting in fat reduction and skin contraction over time.
Benefits over other options:
- No surgery or very minimal incisions
- Customizable to your anatomy
- Safe for all skin types
- Minimal downtime
If you’re looking for a highly effective, non-surgical option created by a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, QuantumRF 10 is one of the most advanced tools available.
2. Morpheus8 Burst
Morpheus8 Burst is a minimally invasive microneedling treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and improve definition across the lower face and neck.
Why it works for double chins:
Morpheus8 Burst works below the surface to contract skin and contour fatty tissue, making it ideal for treating mild to moderate submental fullness.
How it works:
Microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production while reducing fat cells for gradual, natural-looking contouring.
Benefits over other options:
- Targets both skin laxity and fat
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Little to no downtime
- Can be combined with other treatments
Morpheus8 Burst is especially popular among patients seeking visible tightening without undergoing surgery.
3. SmartLipo™-PrecisionTx®
SmartLipo-PrecisionTx is a laser-assisted treatment that removes stubborn fat while tightening the skin above, making it ideal for more pronounced double chins.
Why it works for double chins:
This targeted treatment melts fat and stimulates collagen in a single session, providing more dramatic sculpting along the jawline, chin, and neck than non-invasive options.
How it works:
A tiny laser fiber is inserted through a small incision under the chin. The laser energy liquefies fat cells and promotes skin tightening, creating a firmer, more defined contour.
Benefits over other options:
- Dramatic, single-session results
- Minimal scarring with tiny incisions
- Permanent fat removal
- Skin tightening bonus
If your double chin includes both significant fat and loose skin, SmartLipo-PrecisionTx may offer the most noticeable improvement.
4. FaceTite Turbo
FaceTite Turbo is a minimally invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency energy with precise fat removal to contour the neck and tighten sagging skin in one session.
Why it works for double chins:
FaceTite Turbo targets both fat and skin laxity under the chin, making it ideal for early jowling or fullness that doesn’t respond to non-invasive methods.
How it works:
A small cannula is inserted through a tiny incision under the chin. Radiofrequency energy melts fat cells, which are gently suctioned away, while simultaneously triggering collagen and causing the skin to contract.
Benefits over other options:
- Minimally invasive with tiny incisions
- Combines fat removal and skin tightening
- Local anesthesia only – no general anesthesia
- Immediate results with continued improvement
FaceTite Turbo is best suited for patients in their 30s to 50s who want near-surgical results without the downtime of more invasive procedures.
5. Dermal Fillers
While fillers don’t remove fat, they can help redefine your jawline, making your double chin appear less noticeable. When expertly placed along the jaw or chin, fillers can create a sharper, more structured profile.
Best filler options:
- Sculptra® (stimulates collagen for gradual enhancement)
- Juvéderm® VOLUX (designed specifically for jawline contouring)
Benefits over other options:
- Immediate improvement in facial balance
- No downtime
- Great for mild cases or to enhance surgical results
- Often combined with skin tightening procedures
Fillers are an excellent option for patients looking to enhance jaw definition and facial harmony quickly.
6. Dysport®/Botox® Cosmetic
Dysport and Botox are best known for smoothing wrinkles, but when used in the right areas, they can subtly tighten the skin around your chin and neck for a smoother silhouette.
How it works:
By relaxing specific muscles (like the platysma bands), these neuromodulators reduce tension that pulls the jawline downward, creating a lifting effect.
Benefits over other options:
- Subtle refinement without downtime
- Can be used preventively
- Enhances the results of other treatments
While this treatment doesn’t address fat, it’s a great option for improving skin quality and contour in the lower face.
Which Option is Right for Me?
Choosing the right double chin treatment depends on several factors, including the specific nature of your concern, desired results, and recovery preferences.
- QuantumRF 10 is ideal for patients seeking a minimally invasive option with shorter downtime who want both fat reduction under the chin and jawline and skin tightening.
- Morpheus8 Burst works best for those with mild t submental fat and skin laxity who prefer a non-surgical approach with gradual improvement.
- SmartLipo-PrecisionTx is perfect for patients with more significant submental fat deposits and skin laxity who desire more dramatic, long-lasting results and can accommodate a short recovery period.
- FaceTite Turbo is perfect for patients with early jowling or mild to moderate facial laxity who want significant improvement without more advanced surgical procedures. It can be performed in-office in about 1 hour and 15 minutes with local anesthesia.
- Dermal Fillers are excellent for those with mild submental fullness who want immediate improvement in jawline definition with zero downtime.
- Botox/Dysport is most appropriate for patients whose double chin is primarily related to muscle activity or who want to complement other treatments with muscle relaxation.
