Double Chin

Target a double chin and improve jawline definition with personalised non surgical treatments at L’Atelier, Harley Street, London.

Double Chin Explained

A double chin can develop from a combination of factors; skin laxity, ageing, volume changes, natural facial structure or a softer jawline.

Even small shifts in support beneath the chin can create fullness or a heavier-looking profile, often making the lower face appear less defined.

At L’Atelier Aesthetics, we take a precise and personalised approach to improving the appearance of a double chin. By understanding whether the concern is caused by skin laxity, reduced collagen, structural imbalance or volume distribution, we can create a tailored, non-surgical plan that refines, lifts and enhances the lower face.

Why a Double Chin Occurs:

A double chin is often the result of several underlying changes happening together. Skin may become looser, soft tissue may descend, and the jawline may lose its crisp contour with age. In some cases, the chin structure itself can make the area appear fuller, even without excess fat. Understanding the exact cause allows us to recommend the most effective treatment approach.

Skin laxity under the chin:
As collagen and elastin decline, the skin becomes looser and less able to maintain definition.

Natural bone structure and chin projection:
A weaker or shorter chin can make the area look fuller, even when there is little actual volume.

Age-related volume changes:
Fat redistribution and soft tissue descent can soften the contour beneath the chin.

Genetic predisposition:
Some people naturally carry more fullness in this area or have a softer jawline shape.

Lifestyle factors such as posture and weight fluctuations:
These can accentuate heaviness or reduce definition in the lower face.

These influences vary from person to person, which is why the appearance of a double chin can be different for each individual.

Our Treatment Options

Every case of a double chin is unique. After your consultation, we will recommend the most suitable treatment or combination to refine, lift and contour the lower face.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to tighten and remodel the skin beneath the chin.
It improves firmness, reduces laxity and creates a more defined lower face.

  • Tightens and firms sagging skin
  • Improves jawline definition
  • Ideal for mild to moderate laxity

Sofwave

Sofwave uses ultrasound technology to lift and tighten the skin under the chin and along the jawline.
It is a non-invasive option that delivers subtle lifting and improved structure.

  • Lifts the lower face
  • Enhances under-chin support
  • No downtime option

Dermal Fillers (Chin & Jawline)

Dermal fillers can refine the profile by enhancing chin projection and improving jawline contour.
This structural balancing can reduce the appearance of a double chin and create a more defined silhouette.

  • Improves profile balance
  • Enhances chin shape and projection
  • Creates a sharper jawline

Juläine Bio-Stimulator

Juläine stimulates new collagen, improving firmness and long-term support in the lower face.
It is ideal when sagging or reduced elasticity is contributing to the appearance of a double chin.

  • Builds lasting structural support
  • Improves firmness over time
  • Excellent combined with tightening treatments

Skin Boosters and Polynucleotides

These regenerative treatments enhance skin quality and elasticity around the chin and jawline.
They work best as supportive treatments for tightening or contouring procedures.

  • Improves texture and elasticity
  • Supports firmness and hydration
  • Ideal for maintaining results
Ask us a question
What causes a double chin?

A combination of factors such as skin laxity, reduced collagen, natural chin structure, soft tissue descent and genetics can contribute to a double chin.

What is the best treatment for a double chin?

It depends on the cause:

  • Morpheus8 or Sofwave for tightening and lifting

  • Dermal fillers for chin and jawline contouring

  • Juläine for long-term firmness

  • Polynucleotides/skin boosters for supporting skin quality

Your clinician will recommend the most effective plan.

Can I reduce a double chin without fat-dissolving injections?

Yes. At L’Atelier, we focus on tightening the skin, improving structure and enhancing chin projection, all of which can significantly refine the area without dissolving fat.

How long do results last?
  • Morpheus8: 1–2 years

  • Sofwave: 1–2 years

  • Dermal fillers: 9–18 months

  • Juläine: 12–24 months

  • Skin boosters: around 6 months

Will the results look natural?

Yes. Our approach prioritises subtle, balanced improvements to enhance the jawline and refine the under-chin area without altering your natural features.

Is there downtime?

Most treatments have minimal downtime. Morpheus8 may cause temporary redness, while fillers typically involve mild swelling for 24–48 hours.

Can a double chin be improved without surgery?

Yes. At L’Atelier, we use non surgical treatments such as skin tightening, collagen stimulation and strategic fillers to refine the jawline and improve the appearance of a double chin without the need for surgery.

How do I know which treatment I need?

Your clinician will assess whether your double chin is caused by skin laxity, reduced collagen, fat distribution, soft tissue descent or natural chin structure. This allows us to recommend the most effective approach for your anatomy.

Do I need fillers or skin tightening?

It depends on the cause:

  • Tightening treatments (Morpheus8 or Sofwave) are best for loose or sagging skin.

  • Fillers are ideal for weak chin projection or a softer jawline.
    Often, the best results come from a combination of both.

Is it possible to tighten the skin under the chin?

Yes. Treatments such as Morpheus8 and Sofwave stimulate collagen and elastin, helping to firm, lift and tighten the skin beneath the chin.

Will I need more than one treatment session?

Most clients benefit from a course of tightening treatments or a structured plan that combines different methods. Your practitioner will outline the recommended number of sessions during your consultation.

Are results permanent?

While treatments create long-lasting improvements, natural ageing will continue over time. Maintenance treatments help sustain definition and support in the lower face.


Your Harley Street Experience

At L’Atelier, we take a careful approach to treating a double chin by identifying what is creating the lack of definition. We assess whether skin laxity, structural balance, volume changes or anatomy are contributing to the concern. From there, we design a tailored treatment plan that refines the jawline, tightens the under-chin area and enhances overall facial balance with natural, lasting results.
