Double chin is one of the areas many people worry about, which is why many are interested in double chin Botox treatments.

The cause of a blunt-looking jawline varies from person to person. It's important to accurately determine whether it's a muscle issue, fat accumulation, or skin laxity.

Due to the name 'double chin Botox,' it's easy to misunderstand that Botox treatment is the only method for double chin improvement. However, the results of the treatment can vary depending on the actual cause of the double chin.

A double chin rarely occurs due to a single cause.

It's an area where excessive fat accumulation under the chin, decreased elasticity of the skin and fascia causing sagging, or excessive tension in specific muscles like the digastric or platysma muscles, complexly manifest.

If you repeatedly undergo a specific treatment without accurately identifying the cause, it may be difficult to achieve the desired changes.

Double chin Botox is a procedure that injects botulinum toxin into the muscles in the area under the chin to alleviate excessive muscle contraction.

This procedure is primarily used to relax the platysma muscle, helping to make the jawline more defined.

Botulinum toxin is an agent that acts directly on muscles.

It works by reducing muscle activity, thereby lessening the downward pull under the chin.

Shrink treatment works through a different mechanism than Botox.

It is a treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) energy to generate heat in the deep SMAS layer of the skin, stimulating the tissue.

The generated heat induces the contraction of collagen fibers, subsequently triggering a regenerative response that promotes new collagen production.

Shrink treatment focuses its action on the SMAS layer and dermis, not the muscles.

Double chin Botox and Shrink are treatments that affect different tissues, respectively.

Double chin Botox and Shrink differ right from their working principles.

If excessive muscle tension is the primary cause of your double chin, Botox treatment may be effective.

If sagging occurs due to decreased elasticity of the skin or fascia, a lifting treatment that contracts the tissue, such as Shrink, may be more suitable.

If fat accumulation is the main problem, another treatment approach may be considered. Therefore, it is important to first consult with a specialist to accurately determine the cause of your double chin.

Shrink uses various tips selected based on the treatment area and tissue depth.

For example, the 4.5mm tip delivers energy to the SMAS layer, while the 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm tips are used for managing shallower layers of skin tissue.

In delicate areas like the jawline, the choice of tip can make a difference in the treatment results.

Shrink is approached as a cumulative treatment concept, where gradual effects are expected through multiple sessions rather than being completed in a single treatment.

Treatments are usually performed at one-month intervals, and the timing of the next treatment can be adjusted based on the number of shots used in a single session.

In some cases, if the tissue has been sufficiently stimulated, additional treatments at shorter intervals may be considered.

You may experience a warm or slightly tingling sensation during the procedure, and the recovery period is generally not long.

Temporary redness may appear immediately after the procedure, but in most cases, it subsides quickly.

Many people ask which is more suitable between Botox and Shrink, but these two treatments are distinct approaches where it's difficult to determine superiority.

Since they act on different tissues, choosing a treatment tailored to the individual's concern or combining them as needed can be more effective.

It may not be appropriate to unconditionally consider only muscle relaxation treatments without clearly distinguishing whether the cause of the double chin is a muscle issue or tissue sagging.

Rather than simply comparing lifting treatments and muscle relaxation treatments, understanding the unique role and purpose of each is the correct approach.

During a double chin consultation, it is important to first identify which cause – muscle, fat, or skin laxity – is most prominent.

Through palpation and in-depth consultation, we check the condition of your tissue and, based on the results, guide you on whether a muscle relaxation treatment or a tissue lifting treatment like Shrink would be more suitable.

During Shrink treatment, in addition to the 4.5mm main tip, various tips such as 3.0mm, 2.0mm, and 1.5mm are used for precise application tailored to the treatment area and tissue depth.

For sensitive areas like the jawline, carefully selecting and using tips appropriate for each tissue depth, rather than proceeding with just one tip, can lead to more positive differences in treatment results.

Expected Results Through Meticulous Treatment

In treatments for areas like the jawline where cheek hollowing may occur, the pre-treatment design phase is treated with great importance.

Before lifting treatments, the design is carried out in a seated position to focus on minimizing the risk of cheek hollowing.

This is because designing while standing or lying down can result in a difference in tissue position compared to when actually seated.

During Shrink treatment, it is also possible to customize the procedure by adjusting various intensities as needed.

This means that the energy intensity applied during the procedure can be widely adjusted depending on each patient's individual skin condition and degree of sagging.

Once the procedure is complete, we create a lifting card and share it with the patient.

Recording the type of tip used and the number of shots applied in each session can be used as a reference when planning the next procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Will a double chin completely disappear if I only get double chin Botox?

A. Double chin Botox is a procedure that relaxes overly tensed muscles. Therefore, if the cause of your double chin is fat accumulation or skin sagging, it may be difficult to achieve the desired change with Botox alone. At Kkeut Clinic, we first accurately identify the cause of your double chin and then guide you to the appropriate treatment direction.

Q. Can I get double chin Botox and Shurink together?

A. Yes, double chin Botox and Shurink target different tissue layers, so depending on the cause of the double chin, these two procedures may be performed together. At Kkeut Clinic, we discuss and decide with you through consultation whether combining the treatments is suitable for your condition.

Q. How often should I get Shurink compared to double chin Botox?

A. Shurink is generally performed consistently at 1-month intervals, which differs from the management plan for double chin Botox, which is typically a one-time treatment. The next treatment cycle may vary depending on the number of shots applied in each session.

Q. In which cases is double chin Botox more suitable?

A. Double chin Botox can be considered when excessive tension in the submental muscles is clearly observed. If there is prominent sagging of the skin and soft tissues, we may recommend Shurink before Botox.
