LASER LIPO FOR TURKEY NECK AND DOUBLE CHIN
Laser Lipo for Turkey Neck and Double Chin – Aging and genetics bring with them a host of visible issues on the face and body. Most people who begin to show their age see wrinkles and do what we can to reverse them, using a variety of treatments from face lifts to Botox® and now Thread Lift.
However, sadly, the neck and chin areas are often also showing your age but are overlooked. There is absolutely no need for that nor for radical surgery such as a neck lift. The Melrose Aesthetic Centre offers and excellent and effective alternative called Laser Lipolysis, or Laser Lipo or Laser-assisted Lipolysis, a minimally invasive procedure that can help refine and reshape those areas.
The double chin
Double chins are not a sign of being overweight as such, nor does it indicate you are old. While overweight people usually have double chins, these can develop over time on anyone, and may be caused by several factors. Gaining weight will not automatically give you a double chin nor will losing weight necessarily see it vanish.
Genetics can play a part in your propensity for getting one. The double chin can also be a simple consequence of aging. Skin loosening, and muscle loss are normal effects of the aging process, and while you may not realize it, the chin has some muscles too. When these muscles begin to slacken, your risk of developing a double chin increases. Excess body fat will also result in a double chin developing. The situation is worsened when your skin loses its tautness and elasticity. But the bottom line is it makes you look and feel old.
Turkey neck
Just like the chin, the neck is supported by muscles, age weakens muscles. So the skin over the muscles loses its support and starts to sag, giving you what is known as a turkey neck. Skin also loses elasticity since aging slows the production of elastin and collagen. UV radiation has also, over a long time, caused this area to age.
The neck is often forgotten after 40, and begins to develop a turkey neck look. Also in instance of aging, one other factor affects our skin’s ability to hold itself up and puts pressure on our weakening muscles and that is gravity. Feel under your chin and you can appreciate that with years of gravitational pull, so that your skin will eventually lose its strength and give up.
How Laser Lipo can help double chin and turkey neck
A nice profile with a defined jaw line is desirable for anyone, and refining the jaw line with Laser Lipo treatment for the chin and jowl areas will, in most cases, dramatically reshape the contours to a more normal look. In addition the skin is also tightened due to the stimulation of the collagen production by the body. You will look younger and your profile will be more natural. This Laser Lipo treatment is usually called Face and Neck Laser Assisted Lipolysis, and the treatment is safe and quite comfortable for most people.
Where it may be required, the specialist at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre will use a local anaesthetic, and possibly some mild sedative. You remain awake, and returning to normal activities can be done immediately, with very little recovery time required.
A small incision is made in the treated area, through which a thin tube, called a cannula, is inserted into the fat. Through this cannula, laser energy passes, and in effect, liquefies the fat, which is then gently removed. The time taken will vary depending on the amount of fat being removed, and the area treated, but generally for chin and jowls, about 2 hours is a safe estimate.
The Laser Lipo procedure was first used in South America by cosmetic surgeons, and quickly caught on worldwide, to become one of the most popular forms of fat reduction. Laser Lipo is also used extensively on other body areas, such as the waist, buttocks, thighs and legs.
The benefits
Of course the most obvious improvement will be the contouring of the chin and jowl areas, and a better profile. However, the costs, compared to surgical neck lifts or a face lift are a considerable benefit.
Combined with other aesthetic age-reversal treatments, including Tissue Filler, Chemical Peels or Laser Resurfacing and Thread Lift, you can drop several years from your appearance. Speak with your specialist at The Melrose Aesthetic Centre on the options available for a complete makeover. Reduced recovery time and faster healing also come top of the list of benefits.
