A double chin describes the occurrence of excess skin exposed beneath the chin and around the neck.
This can be an ageing related concern that causes the affected person to feel self-conscious as it’s often associated with weight gain.
A double chin may also appear alongside sagging skin around the jaw (jowls), sagging skin on the neck and neck wrinkles. Depending on its cause, Beau Boutique may be able to provide a suitable solution that tightens the skin and reduces its appearance.
It’s true that a double chin can be the result of weight gain as excess fat accumulates beneath the chin. However, ageing can also be a contributing factor.
When we look at facial ageing and volume loss, the loss of collagen and elastin will cause two effects: the skin will become thinner, and it becomes less able to ‘bounce back’. When gravity also has its say, this will lead to the skin starting to sag around the lower face, including under the chin. Sagging skin in this area can also create a pocket for fatty deposits to sit in, especially if they start to descend as the facial structure weakens. This concern is also associated with those who have a genetically weaker jawline or chin that sits further back towards the neck. In this case it’s common for the skin to be naturally more exposed in this area, giving the impression of a double chin.
Whilst Beau Boutique does not focus on changing the facial structure, we do provide some excellent treatments for improving the quality and condition of the skin. Regular facials and / or non-surgical skin rejuvenating treatments can firm and tighten sagging skin for a fresher, lifted look to the lower face and neck.
Lydia was absolutely amazing! She knows her stuff and made me feel completely in capable hands. Lydia has a wealth of skin knowledge and within seconds I felt reassured by her. I have already booked my next appointment in and changed my skin care products. Thank you Lydia you are a super a star!
Really enjoyed coming along for a consultation with Charmaine and found her advice very helpful. Look forward to coming back in September for my treatment.
I’ve been coming to Charmaine for 3 years now to have semi permanent make up on my eyebrows and every time she does an excellent job, she is always welcoming and the salon is beautiful. I would highly recommend this treatment.
Brilliant as always, happy very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Always makes me feel very comfortable and confident in whichever treatment I am receiving. Thank you
