Vancouver Skincare Clinic Reveals Benefits of Combining Double Chin Treatments

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - Jun 7, 2017) -  Submental fat, more commonly known as a "double chin," is a cosmetic concern that affects many people. To help combat this issue, Vancouver medical spa director Shehla Ebrahim, MD offers a multi-modality, non-surgical approach that requires minimal downtime. By combining BELKYRA™ and Ultherapy®, she says patients can enhance their appearance without surgery.

Designed to break down fatty tissue, Dr. Ebrahim explains that BELKYRA™ helps to define the chin, neck, and jawline by reducing excess fatty tissue in this area. BELKYRA™ is comprised of deoxycholic acid, a substance found in the body that contributes to fat elimination. She notes that the innovative injectable also offers some mild skin tightening effects and requires less downtime than surgical procedures such as liposuction.

If additional skin tightening and smoothing is needed, Dr. Ebrahim often recommends following up BELKYRA™ with Ultherapy® for more pronounced aesthetic enhancement. Ultherapy® uses radiofrequency technology to heat the underlying layers of the skin to cause collagen contraction. When used together, Dr. Ebrahim says the two treatments can reduce fatty tissue and firm skin with natural-looking results.

Dr. Ebrahim says patients who receive BELKYRA™, Ultherapy®, or both therapies typically experience minimal downtime, and there are no additional risks with combining treatments. She says most individuals return to work the following day but some can go back to their typical routine immediately. Minor discomfort, tenderness, redness, and mild swelling are normal, and Dr. Ebrahim says these effects should fade within a few days.

Most patients see results within a few weeks, and Dr. Ebrahim says the benefits should be gradual and natural-looking. She says, "Virtually any client can benefit from the collagen and elastin stimulation" that Ultherapy® can achieve. Individuals interested in learning more about double chin reduction should speak with an experienced skincare professional about their options.
