Jawline contouring and Double Chin Treatment with Genius RF Microneedling

Got a stubborn jawline? Would you like a more sculpted look? Getting the best solution to achieve that sculpted appearance requires knowing what the problem is in order to get to the root cause. Usually it’s not just one problem, but a combination of contributing factors. Well luckily, Genius RF microneedling can address multiple problems for optimal results. Let’s take a deep dive.

What causes a double chin or “Turkey neck”?

The natural aging process can lead to loss of collagen causing thinning and loose skin. Gravity contributes to the downward pull of the face and neck. Volume loss in the face, loosening ligaments and excess fat in the under chin area can all result in a “double chin” or “turkey neck” appearance.

• Loose skin

• Excess fat

• Loss of collagen

• Gravity

• Natural aging process

Genius RF Microneedling for Skin Tightening and fat reduction:

Lutronic Genius combines radiofrequency with microneedling to boost collagen production and tighten skin. The depth of the micro needles can be adjusted to target fat and/or skin tightening. The treatment is non-surgical and requires very little downtime. You can expect some minor swelling and redness afterwards. But returning to normal activity within a day or two is typical. Although you will see improvement within 1-2 months, you may need a series of 2-3 sessions for best results.

How does Genius RF Microneedling compare with Kybella?

Kybella is comprised of synthetic deoxycholic acid which helps to dissolve fat when injected underneath the skin. In the body, deoxycholic acid is a natural substance contained in bile acid and aids in breaking down and absorbing fats in our diet. Typically several vials of Kybella are required to cover the area under the chin which can be expensive. Kybella causes a significant amount of tissue swelling, resulting in a “bullfrog-like” appearance which can persist for 3-5 weeks. While Kybella can be effective for melting fat, it usually required multiple (2-5) sessions for optimal results. Kybella does not tighten skin, so loose skin can be problematic after the fat is dissolved.

Genius RF microneedling causes mild swelling and redness that can last for 7-14 days, but is not as dramatic as Kybella. Genius RF targets multiple depths and is effective for both fat reduction and skin tightening. It also improves skin texture and fine lines/wrinkles. At more superficial depths, Genius RF does not target fat so fat loss is not necessary and can be avoided if desired.
