When you begin your weight loss journey, it might take some of the weight off, but it may not impact areas of stubborn weight. Some of these areas are the thighs, love handles, abdomen, and underarms. One of the most common places that people see stubborn fat is the submental area, or under the chin.
Thankfully, we have the solution at Harbour Direct Primary Care. Curious about how to get rid of a double chin in Jamestown, RI? Check out Emface Submentum. This noninvasive treatment helps address stubborn fat to create a slimmer, more sculpted appearance. Here, we explain how Emface Submentum works, what to expect, and how to determine if it’s right for you.
How It Works
Emface Submentum is a facial contouring treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the skin to about 109° to 113° F to address stubborn fat. This temperature destroys fat cells without causing any damage to the surrounding skin cells.
What to Expect
Our team wants you to feel prepared for your treatment, so here is what you can expect before, during and after treatment
Before
Because Emface Submentum is a noninvasive treatment, you do not need to do anything before your appointment. Just arrive with a clean face (no makeup or topicals) and no jewelry!
During
While this treatment uses heat, it is considered a comfortable heat that most patients find relaxing rather than uncomfortable. You can sit back and relax while undergoing treatment, but if you need breaks, you should let your provider know right away.
After
There is no downtime after treatment—simply go back to your day as normal. After about 4 to 6 weeks, you should notice your double chin beginning to shrink. You can also reduce the appearance of sagging skin around your neck and jawline, as the heat improves skin elasticity as well.
