Double Chin: Non-Surgical Fat Reduction at Ambrosia MD
A double chin is a common concern that affects many individuals, regardless of age or weight. This excess fat beneath the chin can be difficult to eliminate, even with diet and exercise, often leading to a lack of confidence in one’s appearance. While surgical options like liposuction and neck lifts have traditionally been used to address double chins, many people prefer a less invasive approach.
Understanding and Treating a Double Chin at Ambrosia MD
A double chin, also known as submental fat, is a common condition that affects both men and women. It occurs when a layer of fat forms beneath the chin, leading to a fuller, less defined jawline. While a double chin is often associated with weight gain, it can also be caused by other factors, including genetics, aging, and skin laxity. This condition can affect one’s self-confidence and make a person look older or heavier than they actually are.
Causes of a Double Chin
Several factors can contribute to the development of a double chin:
Weight Gain: Excess body fat can accumulate in various parts of the body, including the area under the chin, leading to a double chin.
Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to store fat under the chin, regardless of their overall body weight.
Aging: As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and the muscles in the neck and chin weaken, allowing fat to settle and create a double chin.
Posture: Poor posture can weaken the muscles of the neck and chin, contributing to the appearance of a double chin over time.
Treating a Double Chin with truSculpt at Ambrosia MD
At Ambrosia MD in Ottawa, we offer non-surgical solutions to reduce the appearance of a double chin, helping you achieve a more defined and youthful profile. Our advanced truSculpt technology uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to target and destroy fat cells beneath the chin. This treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime, making it an ideal option for those looking to improve their appearance without surgery.
truSculpt delivers controlled RF energy to the submental area, heating the fat cells until they are destroyed. These fat cells are then naturally eliminated from the body through the lymphatic system over the weeks following treatment. The result is a noticeable reduction in the size of the double chin and a more contoured jawline.
In addition to fat reduction, truSculpt also tightens the skin, enhancing the overall appearance of the treated area and providing a smoother, more youthful look.

truSculpt is suitable for individuals who are looking to reduce submental fat and improve the contour of their jawline without undergoing surgery.
